How To Get An A/A* In English Lit

Yeah i know what evidence is, i just get told i use it enough.
When i'm wriitng i try to think that ok i've got a poinbt, so now i need evidence and i try and put it in.
But then whenb i get my test paper back theirs alot of wheres your evidence for whatever you just said.
And when doing it i think i'm using it enough. But i'm not. Lol.

Well this might not be much help to you but try this [ just as you would comparing a poem ]

Introduction - A short sentence introducing the poems and re - stating the exam question

Then talk about Story A, talk about its language, context and whatever the question is asking you about.

Make sure you use P.E.E

point.., Evidence ( a quote from the story ) and explanation.
If you do that about 2 - 3 times its enough detail to at least get you an A

Then for story B do the same as above, but say for example you are saying that In story B the character is evil or something, say that this contrasts to story A because the main character is loving etc etc etc, and throw a few points in like that as you talk about story B. ( using P.E.E )

Then do a conclusion, re - state the question again and just sum up the similarities of the stories.

All of that above might not of been any help at all for you, because we have only just started doing the short stories and we have finished the poems [ i think ]. & im only on a grade B myself.

Hope it helped anyway
