When you say write alot about a little do you mean write more about what nobody tends to write about? If this is the case should you ignore the obvious points or just state them but briefly?

What I mean is, lets say there is a question such as:

"What is the importance of Curley's wife"

Then you can base a whole paragraph solely on the fact that she doesn't have a christian name, she is a victim of misogyny and is objectified; because people such as crooks and curley's wife don't have a christian name and the ranch is completely devoid of any religion or metaphysic, it seemingly suggests that there is no hope or benign destiny for the ranch workers and that the ranch is merely a microcosm of society. :cool:

Basically, extend your analysis and by no means am I saying "Don't use conventional quotes" because you should use convetional quotes, but the way in which you analyse them is the difference between the C grade candidate and the A/A* grade candidate.
