    What could they ask?

    If you don't include various readings/interpretations of King Lear in your response, REGARDLESS of the question... then you're ignoring one of the dot points in the rubric. Hence, you won't get a good mark for that response.

    LINKING TO THE QUESTION - Let's get this down straight.

    You shouldn't exactly memorise an essay... but memorise the skeletal structure of an essay. I personally have a set/defined methodical structure I use for each body paragraph in the physical journeys essay. With linking to the question, its important you use appropriate quotes/references...

    Is anyone using already prepared essays?

    lol my teacher really stressed the top and tail thing... and stressed the fact that we need to continually thread in the question consistently throughout our analysis. i personally do have a pre-defined structure for each essay, but i havent really memorised word for word what i'm going to...

    Is anyone using already prepared essays?

    Same as me... Memorising generic essays and trying to adapt it to the question will most likely end up in you not answering/addressing the question as specifically as you should to get a good mark. Threading in question's key words, and using SPECIFIC examples that directly address the...
