Improving on englsh

My teacher always says "you need to provide a deeper analysis", what does she mean by this? and how can incorporate more of this in my essays. How can improve my grammar and a use of more complex and sophisticated words?

Don't simply state what happens, state why it happens, how it happens and what effect it has on the plot.

Don't give only plot evidence.
Metalangue should be the key point
Some plot evidence is of course not wrong

I thought metalanguage was part of English Language but I guess it includes similes and metaphors etc

metalanguage is more useful for some topics than others.
If it doesn't fit in, don't force it in, or else it will clearly look like you're trying to make yourself good by putting in unnecessary syntax

Syntax: The arrangement of words and phrases to create well-formed sentences in a language.

Work with a thesaurus to create word banks for the key ideas, but be careful with nuance.
