Hellow everyone,

I am struggling a bit in breaking down this essay question below. We also have to use two given exerpts as a starting point. Would anybody be able to provide some pointers as to how I could go about writing the essay (common links etc).

Assess the response of Joyce and Heaney’s to their context as expressed in the texts studied in this module.

Exerpts:
You ate that first one and its flesh was sweet
Like thickened wine: summer's blood was in it
Leaving stains upon the tongue and lust for
Picking.

Seamus Heaney ‘Blackberry Picking’’

Home! She looked around the room, reviewing all its familiar objects which she had dusted once a week for so many years, wondering where on earth all the dust came from…..And yet during all those years she had never found out the name of the priest whose yellowing photograph hung on the wall above the broken harmonium beside the coloured print of the promises made to Blessed Margaret Mary Alacoque.’

James Joyce ‘Eveline’- p.30 ‘Dubliners’

Thanks for your time.
