Hi! I think you expressed your ideas in a mature manner, especially since you didn't go bashing anyone else with a different opinion.
I usually review poetry, but I'm trying out reviewing other areas of literature now. Also, I'm just a high school student, so a lot of these critiques will be things that a teacher would probably also say. Sorry if that's not what you were looking for. That being said, let's get into the review.
First, there are just some style things I want to mention. If you're writing a formal essay, don't use conjunctions, because they are associated with the writer being immature and inexperienced. Also doing this just makes you sound smarter somehow.
The other thing is you should avoid asking questions in your essay. The questions you ask are immediately answered and therefore don't serve much of a purpose. Try changing them into statements instead.
Next thing is the third paragraph. First off, you should divide the "we are blessed when a car misses us" sentence into two where the comma is. The idea you're trying to put across is a little cloudy to me. Yeah, we believe that some higher power is protecting us in these occurrences. I'm unsure of how this paragraph strengthens your argument.
This brings me to the third thin, which is your thesis. Every essay needs a thesis. You obviously have an idea that you're trying to prove, but you haven't stated it clearly at the beginning. So, what are you trying to prove in this piece of writing?
Lastly, try to avoid using weak adjectives such as "good" and "bad". Using strong adjectives can get people to pay more attention to you.
Also, your first paragraph is super funny. "How I sold my baby to a Rabbi". If you want your title to sound less tabloid-esque, try to avoid using first person language and keep the title short.
I truely enjoyed reading and reviewing your essay. I hope this helped!
