English Literary Studies: essay organisation
For the close reading, write an introductory paragraph, paragraphs on setting, narrative, events, characters and language and conclusion. Your quotes, response (for the first half) and response and secondary text quotes (for the second half) should run through these. Your argument (using a distinctly different question's answer to connect your responses and the question, to show you have your own argument) should be in the first sentence of each paragraph.
For the discussion question (e.g. what is the relationship between madness and identity in King Lear), write an introductory paragraph, paragraphs on setting, narrative, events, characters and language, and paragraphs taking the space of five paragraphs continuing to answer the question, etc, and conclusion. The rest is the same as the close reading.
For the essay on two or more works, write an introductory paragraph, paragraphs on setting, narrative, events, characters and language, paragraphs for each of the novels or poems taking the space of five paragraphs continuing to answer the question, etc, and conclusion. The rest is the same as the close reading and discussion question.
