Your attitude is a bit bizarre. Someone telling you they would give it an 8 when you got a 9 is not far off, and a LOT closer than your self-congratulatory 12. There are so many mistakes in your essay I personally would have graded it lower than 9, but I don’t know the exact guidelines the graders are given. Your sentence structures are awkward, your flow of ideas is stilted, and as has been said your grammar and general use of English is poor. On top of all that, using one example of a novel that does not use humor hardly proves the thesis that using humor is not the best way to approach problems. I could come up with any number of examples in the literature where humor is, in fact, used to good effect in problematic situations.

I don’t think you really want criticism, you want people to tell you your essay is really great and the graders don’t know what they are talking about. I have taught college classes and graded college essays in the past, and I can tell you that if you turned that into me I would probably give you an F. Certainly no more than a D if I was in a good mood.
