The introduction and conclusion are evident but need improvement in addressing the prompt.

The essay exhibits some logical structure and coherence in terms of organizing ideas. However, it lacks a clear progression of ideas and cohesive devices to link the paragraphs. The ideas are presented in a somewhat disjointed manner, which affects the overall coherence and cohesion of the essay.
