Remember to comment on structure, form, imagery etc etc but remember to evaluate and say what effect it has on the reader

It takes such a long time to prepare for it would be conpletely different from the one i had previously done so i guess not

This is how you should structure your essays : point , evidence , explain & expand always!

For example : The woman was shown as agressive (point) through the use of the simile "her eyes flared like a bull" ( Lang technique and evidence). This imagery comparing her to an animal denotes a sense of wild and uncontrollable anger. Alternatively it could suggest her lack of impatience and frustration ( explain and expand).
