You must have a thorough and insightful grasp of your text in order to write sophisticated essays. In the various articles, I include the most relevant examples, anecdotes and quotes that I often use from the text.  I hope these help.

I also include essay-writing tips across a range of disciplines – expository, persuasive and creative.
