Rambling?

well that might mean you need to follow a better structure
You just need a good thesis

and to stick to it!!!
I’m sure you know what those are

but they don’t have to be super fancy you can just do like one that talks about how the author uses <language technique> (a rlly broad one is storytelling u can talk abt anything) to show <2+ themes>
And then one paragraph you talk about the first theme and the second paragraph for the second theme :3
And in the paragraphs maybe you can try to follow a rough PEEL/PETAL structure to make sure you are hitting all the points of a good paragraph :3
Use quotes and evidence that are actually relevant to your themes :3
I would try to explain how to integrate them but idk how
Maybe u can ask for feedback from some people in your class? But ik that’s scary so you probably won’t do that u wouldn’t do it either


Also if you have a question or prompt then centre your whole thesis and essay around that obviously and use the words of the question/prompt a LOT throughout. Like if you think it sounds like you’re repeating yourself it means you’re linking back well :3 unless you’re genuinely just adding no substance to your paragraphs then I guess it might be bad

Idk if this is helpful sorry
