It would be great if you've got some helpful notes on the imaginative journey, its always good to get a wide range of sources and notes. Could you send any notes via PM or attachment though?

Okay, so I pretty much suck at essay writing.
I don't exactly know how to make my stupid teachers happy.

If I could just get a few pointers on how to go "deeper" into my thesis.
They didn't help me much in my last essay. All they did was correct my mis-capitalisation of the word 'Romanticism'. No constructive criticism or red pen notes anywhere to be seen.

I have no idea how to write introduction paragraphs.
They always seem really empty and airy. I feel like I don't knwo what I'm trying to say.

And I'm not sure how to balance my argument, where quantity and quality is concerned. As in, I don't know when to stop using so many examples, and rather go deeper into the examples, or something like that. basically, I'm taking a nose dive in English. I got 8/15 for my last essay, and I need to effectively lift my marks.

My teacher isn't much help cos she's pretty one mono-toned, and doesn't really answer our questions. I just don't know what i'm supposed to do to lift my marks.

Please help me!!! lol. Thnx

diedrix is a noob.
and i have the exact same problem, except im more of a delving too deep into examples, and not enough of them.
any suggestions on how many quotes should be included per text in an essay?
