"lets add spoilers to the conclusion"


lol

Need a full list of components to include in these essays:

-Blade runner and Frankenstein (Texts in time)
-Hamlet
-Belonging (area of study)
-History and memory


For example, for Blade runner and frankenstein

I was thinking of a structure as this:

-Intro

-Frankenstein context
-in depth elaboration on Frankenstein's perspective on Idea 1
-quotes technique effects that show idea 1
-How idea 1 is influenced by context of the author
Closing word, and mention of Blade runner's perspective on idea 1

-Blade runner context
- in depth elaboration on Blade runner's display on idea 1
-quotes technique effects that show idea 1
- How Idea 1 is influenced by context of the author
Closing words, and comparison on how the idea 1 is delt with by both texts.


-Frankenstein's perspective on idea 2etc.

...rinse repeat etc.... conclusion-> end.


Now lets say im capped at 8 page-exam booklets. (i have this thing against asking for more paper)


Therefore would there be more marks in it, to minimize on the NUMBER of ideas (to roughly 2-3 ideas), but maximize on the context and the quotes that support each idea...

Or maximize on the number of ideas (6-7), at the expense of large numbers of quotes (like 6 per idea, per text, so ultimately in the vicinity of 36 quotes in the essay)


And what should be my Context:Quote ratio. Should it be roughly even, or should i have more quotes, and use context like the cherry on the cake.


Or should i just overhual the structure entirely so i discuss Frankenstein in One half of the essay, and Blade runner in the other half?

and .. i still don't even have structures for the other essay and exam's in like a week.

First, pimp your answer!
How To Study

You've deciphered and devised a plan, so now you'll just need to elaborate.
Quotes are used as 'evidence'. You will need to explain and then give evidence (which could be a quote) to justify your explanation. You can't really set out context to quoting accordingly. Where it fits, it fits.
