Writing an (AOS) Essay by continously comparing prescribed text with related text(s)

Hi, I'm a little confused as to how I would go about this. Just the structure of the essay I need help with.

does it go like this:

New Essay Structure Plan

Paragraph 1: Introduction (7 - 10 lines) - introduce the texts and authors + dates created

Paragraph 2: Prescribed Text # 1 (3 technqiues/quotes with links to the question)

Paragraph 3: Related Text # 1 (How many techqniues is required for this paragraph if i'm going to continuosly anaylyse it with the 3 other prescribed, could I do 1 technqiue/quote here?)

Paragraph 4: Prescribed Text # 2 (3 technqiues/quotes with links to the question)


Paragraph 5: Related Text # 1 (How many techqniues is required for this paragraph if i'm going to continuosly anaylyse it with the 3 other prescribed, could I do 1 technqiue/quote here?)

Paragraph 6: Prescribed Text # 3 (3 technqiues/quotes with links to the question)

Paragraph 5: Related Text # 1 (How many techqniues is required for this paragraph if i'm going to continuosly anaylyse it with the 3 other prescribed, could I do 1 technqiue/quote here?)

Paragraph 6: Conclusion

Now, if the question said to refer to AT LEAST ONE related text, that means it is recommended for two related text. How would I go about merging a 2nd related text? can i just replace some of my related text # 1 with related text # 2? (keeping this same structure mentioned above).


I'm trying to refine my Essay, because my current one need work and uses a basic structure, that is:

Old Essay Structure

P1: Introduction

P2: Prescribed 1 (includes 3 techqniues/quotes in one big paragraph)

P3: Prescribed 2 (includes 3 techqniues/quotes in one big paragraph)

P4: Prescribed 3 (includes 3 techqniues/quotes in one big paragraph)

P5: Related text (includes 3 techqniues/quotes in one big paragraph)

P6: Conclusion

I'm just not sure if I'm allowed to make three short paragraphs for my related to attach after each prescribed text, will it look better?

Thanks in advance.

Why not just have 3 body paragraphs where you conjoin your prescribed and related ?

I was thinking that, but then it would turn into a comparative essay, like the frankenstein and bladerunner one (which my teacher said is the hardest essay to pull off) He said a comparative essay is not neccessary for the AOS essay. But I was reading back at some of my past papers and a previous teacher wrote, "Make better use of your related text, do more study on your selected scenes and look for more techniques (I did three film technqiues). Make links to your poems." Now by that comment it means my related has to somehow refer to the 3 other poems.

Am I getting confused here between a comparative essay and just doing 3 body paragraphs with (prescribe + related in each)?
