Thanks FallingStar,
Sorry for the delayed reply but could you possibly explain what you mean in more simpler terms? So, do I have to directly show my knowledge of where the quote comes from and use it in one of my paragraphs in its entirety? If you could please provide an example of what you mean as well, that would be great.
Thanks
Basically:
- Must put the quote in the essay
- Must know the context of the quote.
- Must understand how the quote fits in with the text.
(Since I haven't done Burial Rites, I will do All About Eve)
Say if a prompt said Margo says "funny business, a woman's career." All About Eve is about the roles that women must play. Discuss. Then I can say:
Topic Sentence of paragraph extract: In All About Eve, it is evident that women who have careers must eventually marry and give their career up.
By confessing in the car that a "woman's career" is "funny business," Margo realise that she eventually need to succumb to the predefined roles as a women. She defines these roles as being a wife where she "look up just before bed" to see the man she loves, who is seen to bring her comfort throughout the film. This confession implies that women must eventually marry and become a wife to the man that she loves most, signifying that women are to marry no matter how long they had their careers for, or how many careers they ever has.
Well, I'm not too good at English
<gasps> but at least that should give you an idea.
