    Higher English - Evaluation points help.
    Hi guys! I'm currently hoping that either Death of a Salesman(Drama), A Hanging(Prose non-fiction), Death of Marilyn Monroe(Poetry) or Vergissmeinnicht(Poetry) comes up in the Critical Essay questions. I was hoping that people would be able to give me Evaluation help, we've been told that it's relating it to a wider scale, in the sense that it's what the Author/poet is trying to tell us. This has been causing me a bit of trouble and was wondering if there was anything you guys could do to help .

    Another question would be, would it be smarter to write an essay with more of a theme structure compared to that of writing chronologically?

    Theme is the way. It's the writer's starting point and is what underpins the work. Everything else - characterisation, setting etc - is elucidating the theme.
