pepsi:
I find it hard to do part 2 essays. I know a lot about the characters and such, but when it come to theme, i find it hard to elaborate and write:(
like i can answer questions about leon, valerie, romulus, christine - specific characters and how to struggle with life and stuff
but when it comes to question such as love, loss of trust, etc i find it hard to anaylse.
and is there any tips to improve your expressions and structure? i dont think my expression is very good arggh
your tips on breaking down the essay question and providing an example of it was really good.
arrgghh im still procrastinating - needa get back to studying!!

lol. im the opposite! I can write a very complex essay discussing themes/issues/attitudes but when it comes to characterization and such I find it difficult to discuss the text in a perceptive way - when i try to add complexity i get scared that im venturing into part 2 territory!

At this point you should be trying to stick with your own 'style'. If you focus too much on your expression now you may just stress yourself out. Your writing style should be developed by this point, if you try to change it now your writing might suffer.
all i can say is don't make generalizations and don't simply tell the plot. Make sure you have evidence and only use words that you feel comfortable with.
keep your structure logical. Remember you are making an argument so your structure should develop your contention in a clear and logical manner.
conclude strongly but don't simply restate your contention/arguments. Try to finish with a perceptive statement about the text that summaries your contention.
