OK, here goes:
Lesson 2
Part 3:
In part three, you are given two literary works and are expeced to agree or disagree with what you’re told (in the ‘your task’ box) and to prove what you are saying using literary elements.
After reading the topic you will be discussing (from the ‘your task’ box) make sure that when you read the given passages, you have that topic primarily on your mind. This way, you can fish out what is important to know and what is superfluous. Once you decide whether you are going to agree/disagree, try to find any literary element that can help ‘back you up’. I’m not a pro at literary elements (especially years after I really had to know them) but you can use simple elements, like setting, plot, irony, foreshadow (hey! I surprised myself with how much I know!)ONLY if it supports what you are trying to prove. And that’s basically it!
Make sure you understand the passages before writing your essay. More important to know what you’re talking about than writing a long essay that makes no sense. Read it two or three times (s-l-o-w-l-y if you can;)) or whatever it takes for you to get it.
rrrrrrrrrrring goes the bell! Dismissed!
