ESSAY STRUCTURING HELP PLEASE!! (speeches) (1 Viewer)

[Validity]

how do i structure a critical essay deconstructing 2+ speeches ?
also curious as to how i'm supposed to show a personal understanding without the use of personal pronouns such as "I"

Break it down via themes and then via text. So something like:

Intro
Theme 1: Text 1
Theme 1: Text 2
Theme 2: Text 1
Theme 2: Text 2
Conclusion

Personalisation comes through your use of positive verifiers of the statements you make. Examples of this include:
It must be argued that
It can clearly been seen that
It is true that

so in 50min, i should be doing 6 paragraphs including intro/conclusion? also, what if its to do with WHY THE TEXT REMAINS VALUABLE? do i still talk about themes or do i move onto it's structure and talk about integrity etc.

The text remains valuable because the themes within the text are still highly relevant. That's should generally be your line of attack. Structure can be used to support your argument as evidence. The integrity of your text comes through in the discussion of the relevant themes, as well as in your intro and conclusion.

As for the six paragraphs, if you can do more, go for eight or even ten. But six should be about the minimum, in order to get an intro/conclusion, and a discussion of at least two important ideas.
