for writing context, my tutor said that if youre referring to more than 1 text you sorta have to weigh down on one text and make the other texts subsiduary texts...is this true? cos sometimes i feel like i have to get evidence from like 4 different texts equally...........


Also for language analysis - can you say like "the reader is likely to..blablabla"?

I think this is personal preference kinda thing, like if you kind of lose depth because you're trying to use too many texts then it would be wiser to stick to one. But if you can still maintain good flow and analysis when you compare and contrast texts then that would be better. There isn't any one 'correct' way to do it.

For your language analysis question, the answer is yes. It's not wrong, however it would sound better if you used a different word like "the reader may feel inclined to...blablabla"
Suggestive language is better, as there is no guarantee the writer will make the reader do anything
