Common mistakes
- Animal Farm: confusing plot summary vs analysis: Keep plot summary vs analysis clear. Make a claim, use brief textual evidence, analyse the writer's method and explain how it shapes meaning, context, theme, character or comparison. Text-specific focus: Animal Farm is not interchangeable with the other 8702 texts. For this modern text response, anchor the paragraph in power and propaganda, then use brief textual evidence to explain how the writer develops inequality. A useful Animal Farm answer can contrast revolution with corruption, because that gives the analysis a text-specific line of argument instead of a reusable AO paragraph. Method work should notice how language, form or structure frames allegory. Context should be used only when it clarifies interpretation, reader response or audience response. When comparison is relevant, compare both texts or poems directly: whereas one detail may suggest power, another may reveal propaganda or inequality. Keep the vocabulary exact: character, speaker, narrator, writer, poet and playwright are not the same role, and the evidence must be explained after it is selected.
