There are some things you can do to clarify what you are expected to do:
1)Read the module rubric on module A from the syllabus-it will tell you EXACTLY what you are expected to do.
2)Deconstruct the rubric, extract key sentences and phrases from the rubric and start relating and expanding these to your texts, for example, consider what values and context were The Great Gatsby and Elizabeth Browning's Sonnets produced in, and how does the values and perspectives examined in the respective text a product of both the composer's personal contexts as well their response to the contextual values of the time the texts were composed in.
3)In general, you should structure your essay based on thematic concerns (your generic essay, that is, if you choose to do one), however, for any particular essay question, focus on deconstructing the essay question and moulding your knowledge to answering that essay question as fully and completely as you possibly can. The whole purpose of any essay is to argue a case/theses and do it in as convincingly a way as possible with detailed reference from your texts.
4)You might want to search up a power point presentation on module A by Karen Yager online-although the power point presentation is predominantly about Frankenstein and blade runner-however the format/structure of the presentation will give you a pretty good idea of what are some of the things you need to research and compare across both of your texts.
Ultimately, the whole purpose of this module is to increase your appreciation of how texts are not created in a vacuum, all texts are a direct product of the contextual milieu they were composed in, and how by studying the texts, despite being composed across significantly different contexts, the responder can gain a deeper appreciation of how some thematic concerns resonates and remains timeless despite disparity of contextual values, and in some way, becomes enhanced because common thematic concerns are explored in both texts, also consider how the different mediums of the text can enhance our understanding of these concerns further. This is just a starting point to get you thinking, hope this helps
