CAPC is the most boring and irrelevant book- I didn’t even finish reading it I just watched the film and got the summary of each chapter from the study guide I have

Does anyone have any general advice on how to structure these essays? This is my only essay subject so im a little out of practice!
How should i do the intros and conclusions ( this is where i always struggle) , also , how do you guys link the evidence u give to ur analysis and link back to the question?

Personally I like to put some context in my introduction so who directed the film, what year it was released. And then I talk about what I’ll be speaking about briefly in the essay. I outline (briefly) the themes I’m gonna talk about.
then I have 3 paragraphs for my points. The general structure is I say my point and then I give an example. However, you shouldn’t tell the story of the book/film. Just give the example. Then I like to say what theme it links to then weave in my context into the analysis of it. At the end I always link back to the question/point I made.
In my conclusion, I sum up my points in a general sentence or two. Don’t add any new points in the paragraph (I can send u my mock if u want. I do como agua and volver and got 78/80)

Just to add to the above, I know some people that have memorised a short intro and they use that in all their essays (a different one for the play and film) so although I do like to link mine to what I am going to focus on in the essay, I don't think it needs to necessarily be that specific. : )

Thats an interesting idea, i guess i could memorise the first few sentences and then just change the last intro sentence to make it specific to that essay
