This is the structure that I usually follow for all of my p1 to get 6/7: Introduction

- Hook
- Reference (author, year published, source etc)
- 1-2 sentences describing the text while identifying audience, purpose and cultural context (if
there is any specific cc)
- Thesis (through the employment of... 3 stylistic features... author’s name... is succeeds in...

Body paragraphs (repeat for 3 paragraphs, 1 stylistic feature per paragraph)

- Topic sentence that covers what will be discussed in the paragraph

- Explanation
- Example
- Explanation
- Deeper analysis

Conclusion:

- Summarize key points and stylistic features

- Refer back to thesis
- Antihook

Stylistic features can include usage of

- Personal pronouns
- Anecdotes
- Ethos, pathos, logos
- Image (angel, colors)

Conventions of the text type:

- Register (formal, informal)

- Word choice
- Graphic symbols
- Humour, irony, satire
- Play on stereotypes
- Imagery
- Title
- Expert power
- Figurative language (Symbolism, metaphors, hyperboles, assonance
- Anaphora, ephiphora
- Allusion
- Rhetorical questions
Your essay obviously needs structure and you need to know how to do it. Here’s a good way of doing
it. I used to write my paragraphs according to the following structure:
Audience/Purpose – Who is the author writing to and what is the purpose of them doing so?
Content/Theme – What’s actually in the text? Is there a theme you can detect?
Tone/Mood – What is the author’s tone? What kind of mood is he/she writing about?
Style – What kind of style do they write with? Formal, informal? Iambic pentameter or blank verse?
Structure – How does the author structure the text? Is there anything visually appealing? Images?
Diagrams?
For each of these, I would write either two paragraphs, one point for each text. If I was rushing, I
might squeeze both points into one paragraph. I would HIGHLY recommend you do the same.
