[Aquar]

I'm with OCR doing English Literature and I have three Lit exams in the next month. I have A View from the Bridge, Of Mice and Men, and Jekyll and Hyde/Seamus Heaney poetry. What I struggle with is finding points to write about, especially in AVFTB, OMAM and J&H.

Does anybody have any methods they use for finding points? I always do the extract questions by the way, and try to annotate on them and make a short plan before I start writing, but I can only ever find a maximum of two points! Sometimes I end up just writing a load of crap for my third or fourth points because I know I need to write more but have nothing to write about.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

You just have to know the texts as well as you can and then discuss them with your peers and stuff. The more you talk about it, the more you develop your own ideas but also the more arguments you can throw in. Reference: General Lit experience.
