I can't really give this a score but I'll give you some tips just from reading through it:

'overall the writer uses language to describe the character' is unnecessary and almost feels like a tacky ending. I'm sure your examiner knows that the writer is using language. It is fine to use it once to remind the examiner but not twice.

Instead of saying the word indicates, the adjective/verb/adverb indicates would be better and more precise

instead of the phrase shows, the personification/metaphor of... shows

Expand more on 'how' this is achieved

e.g) The word “polished” indicates how the woman was speaking smoothly and confidently because polished has connotations of...

basically just be even more precise but most of this is really good!
