Instruction manual

one

Make the most detailed plan for your future work. Remember, everything that you write should play on the disclosure of the topic given in the title. If a question is posed in it, then the composition is the answer to it. If a statement is made - your task is to confirm or deny. No lengthy texts about the book at all. Try to fully reveal exactly the given topic. All points of your plan should be devoted to this disclosure.

2

Try to quote or retell fundamental thoughts close to the text that help to draw conclusions. Refer to the actions of heroes revealing their characters. Look for non-trivial moves to show what happened in a new, sometimes unexpected light for other readers. Do not be afraid to make assumptions, the main thing is that they should be followed by clear logic, and all your conclusions will flow from the plot of the book.

3

Allow yourself the versatility of judgments, but the language, on the contrary, should be simple. Try not to allow for superb shapes as well as overly colorful ornate definitions. In the wilds of complex phrases you can easily get lost. Therefore, alternate complex sentences with simple ones, which will greatly simplify the perception of your composition. If the style of presentation allows slight deviations, make remarks.

4

Do not seek to study a large amount of literature parsing a book. Leave room for your own opinion and judgment. It is possible that certain actions of the heroes will cause you a different assessment than that of venerable critics. In the essay it is important to fix it, and, preferably, a good Russian language and in a qualitative form. Who knows, suddenly from this work your literary talent will be revealed, and someday they will write an essay according to your book.
