This is a very useful guide and should at all costs be saved or bookmarked. And I agree achieving A's on essays is fairly simple, follow the few rules and the A is yours, the hard part is being able to sit down for 45 minutes to and hour and TYPING up that essay. Also to maintain the quality of your essays.

Harry great use of adjectives in the opening paragraph. It immediately drew my attention. I thought in my head "oh this is going to be a helluva a game." Nice job on that and way to have evidence that defends you claim.

Something I feel after reading not just this, but all your posts and some other classmates posts is I find metaphor and similes really hooks the reader and offers a clear idea of what it is that you want to describe. I would say, at least for me, comma rules come with a lot of writing and not just solely focusing on. the rules, that just never works for me.
