AO1: use textual references, including quotations, to support and illustrate interpretations.

Common trap

Princess & The Hustler: 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: Princess & The Hustler is not interchangeable with the other 8702 texts. For this modern text response, anchor the paragraph in family and race, then use brief textual evidence to explain how the writer develops community. A useful Princess & The Hustler answer can contrast aspiration with performance, 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 historical context. 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 family, another may reveal race or community. 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.
