I think you can do it either way. My teacher said if you cna link texts by techiniques or points then you should set your essay out like that ie one paragraph per techinique/point discussing all texts as it shows a higher level of sophistication. but if that's too difficult or the texts don't...
yeah the first section be concise and to the point. they're not going on length they're seeing if you've fulfilled the requirements. (eg give 2 techniques) but I'm not good at the six mark ones...so I'm not sure, I think you're supposed to write a little more, about a page.
like in skrzynecki poems, the repeated symbol of the key
1st stanza - "like a well oiled lock"
last stanza - "inheritors of key that'll open no house when this one is pulled down"
no way! I go to a selective school and I write 4-5 A4 pages in 40 min (about 800 words at the most) and I'm in the top third of advanced English at my school. I thought I wrote fast! How are you guys doing this? I can't comprehend how it's physically possible!!
