Default Sentence Diagramming

Hi, would someone please check if these are right? Thanks

What a mess it is!

What = aux-
a mess = subject complement
it = subject
is = verb



She thought the book a bore, despite the good reviews

She = subject
thought = verb
the book = direct object
a bore = object complement
despite the good reviews = object complement
