But then when I write them, especially in exam conditions, a single paragraph can take up the entire page. For this reasons, it is my suggestion that when you're writing in an exam, you actually break up the paragraphs a little further - so if you're discussing two texts in the one paragraph, then be sure to start the next line and indent when the new text comes in.

How would you tackle this sort of question in an essay?
"Texts have the potential to challenge assumptions and beliefs about aspects of human experience and the world."
-Discuss this statement in relation to your prescribed text and ONE related text of your own choosing.

This is a heavy question for the AoS! Seems like it would be better suited to a module, since it relates to texts specifically! If you did get it though, I'd be linking the statement to Discovery, with a train of thought that goes something like this:
- Texts portray Discoveries and this shapes how the audience views their own discoveries
- It is through seeing discovery in texts that audience views of the world around them are challenged, and this enables them to make their own discoveries.
It's a little shaky, but the basic idea is that the Discoveries made by the audience, and the way they respond to them, are shaped by the texts they read. Something like that, and then you could direct the conceptual side of things however you choose.
Is this an actual AoS question? I've not seen one like this before! :P
