I haven't read either of the books, however our class is also about to start the NEA (I'm doing 1984 and Never let me go). I think the main takeaway I got was don't focus on the minor details when you first write it - focus on getting all your ideas on the page, eve if it's just in detailed bullet points. Your teacher will only be able to give you written feedback once so please make sure you have written as much as you can within the word suggestion before submitting, just so they can feedback as effectively as possible.
What themes and context do both books share that you could talk about? When were they written, and how does this affect the writing? How exactly do they present motherhood individually, then link them together?
