    Essay Structure

    Integration is possible on a text-by-text basis. Just because a single paragraph may focus on a single text does not mean you cannot make references to other texts you are studying. On the other hand, a paragraph may focus on an argument.

    If you consistently run out of time and never get to cover the 3rd in as much detail as you'd like, don't include it. It is better to cover two productions in detail and be happy with the result than to cover three briefly without going into technical depth. However, if you feel that your...

    Creative Writing: Ideas and Inspiration

    Creative writing doesn't always have to be a story (Has someone mentioned this yet? I hope so!). Unless they specifically tell you to write in a particular form, choose one you feel like writing and go for it. Ideas? I pull ideas out of thin air. Play the word association game with yourself...

    Plot as a technique - Help!!

    Do you have a more specific example? A plot can certainly be a technique. Take for example the typical 'rite of passage' story in which a person grows and changes usually because of a catalytic event, or the 'cinderella story' (similar thing really) in which an 'ugly duckling' becomes a...
