1. Make sure to bring in specific details from the text. While you may not be directly quoting the text, there are memorable motifs, symbols, and character behaviors that can be incorporated into your essay.
2. Your diction can add touches of voice and reflect your understanding of the text. In one essay by ML, she used the infinitive "to drown" to describe Edna's struggle with gender roles in her society. Her word choice was quite apropos for the given text.
3. Little components of writing do add up. Make sure you are analyzing literature in present tense, avoiding "to be" verbs, removing contractions, and maintaining third person.
Tomorrow we turn to the Anglo-Saxons, a time far removed from QE II.
