or social context in which the work was written.
o Quotes and Analysis: Be familiar with key quotes from the texts that illustrate major
themes or character traits. Be prepared to analyze these quotes and explain their
significance in context.
2. Films:

o Plot and Characters: Review the key plot points and character development. Focus on
the relationships between characters and how they represent or challenge themes in the

o Themes and Symbolism: Identify recurring themes in the film (e.g., societal issues,
personal struggles, historical context) and analyze how they are presented through visual
and narrative techniques.
o Film Context: Be aware of the cultural, historical, or social background of the film,
which could help explain the motivations behind characters or key plot developments.
3. Essay Writing:
o Structured Responses: Practice writing clear, structured essays with an introduction,
body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Ensure your arguments are well-supported with
specific examples from the texts or films.
o Comparative Analysis: If required, practice comparing themes, characters, or other
elements between texts and films, focusing on how different mediums approach similar
topics.
o Critical Evaluation: Be prepared to evaluate the success of the texts and films in
