Evidence/Support

Incomplete, missing, vague, too short, not enough information
2
You've given vague and general support, e.g.: the main character was angry - this is too vague. (Explain what they were angry about, what they said and did, and to whom, and why, and how this supports the theme.) Likewise, your support came from either one story, not both, or just part of the stories. You haven't shown how the theme is throughout the entire story
3
You've mentioned 2-3 events (things characters said and did, etc.) from both stories that connect to the theme you identified.
4
The support you gave includes many (4+) specific events (things characters said and did, etc.) throughout both stories, and these events clearly relate to the theme you identified.
