Critique a Short Essay for Structure Before You Submit It

The essay is finished but you have read it so many times you cannot tell if it actually holds together. This checks whether the introduction states a real argument, whether each paragraph earns its place, flags anything repeated, and tells you honestly whether the conclusion actually concludes.

Work only from {ESSAY_TEXT}. If the essay question or word limit is not stated, note that it would help but proceed with a structural review regardless.

1. Check the introduction states a clear argument or thesis, not just a topic restatement
2. Check each paragraph makes one point and links back to the argument
3. Flag any paragraph that repeats a point already made elsewhere
4. Check the conclusion actually concludes rather than just summarising
