Suggested timing (120 minutes)

Precise, short quotations - one or two words often beats a whole sentence. Embed them in your analysis, don't dump them.
Comment on effect - say what the language does to the reader, not just what technique is used.
Own words in the summary - paraphrase rather than copy whole phrases from the original texts.
Cover the full range - the extended analysis should explore language and structure, not just word choices.
