ive heard english markers really like it if you ponder the nature of writing / being a writer in your work, just get really poetic about 'what it means to write' and they eat it up (source: my english teacher, who is a senior marker)
real my teachers sample piece that he wrote and gave us for inspo was about the love and need for writing lmao

Guys I have a question for essays in general. Say I integrate 2 quotes per paragraph for 3 paragraphs, how many techniques do I use per quote? I've heard its one per quote otherwise the essay gets rushed and less in depth but from others I've heard that it deepens the analysis, hence getting more marks. So, is it one technique per quote or more?
As many as you can as long as its relevant
2 quotes per body isn't a lot so you would want to go really in depth into each of them

I *think at least 2 is good, but only if they have a purpose and help reinforce your argument.

I think doing 3 quotes per parra is better. I usually just do 1-2 techniques per quote

3-4 quotes in each para with 1-2 techniques per quote if you can find 2 then always do 2

Also maq early entry will be pretty easy so now it's just reassuring me that even if my mental health goes down from here it won't affect my future too much hopefully
