BBC - Consider the Lilies


Information
Writing about literature takes a particular style of writing, and it's worth your while practising this. The style should be formal - so use the third person (there should be no 'I' or 'you'), avoid flowery language and do not use abbreviations. Using this style, you should identify the technique you think is important, quote a useful example to illustrate your point and comment on the effect of the technique. Now practice your skills with the following essay questions. Each focuses on one literary or technical feature used in the book and matches a section of this site. Choose from the list below.
