It may focus on a particular problemor issue relating to this. Your answer should refer closely to at least three sections of each chosen text; in addition,it would be good to refer more briefly to other sections.
Prepare by closely re-reading all sections of at least two texts. Categorize them according to narrative techniques,and make notes on how you might analyze them with respect to these. You can focus on a limited number of sections (preferably demonstrating points of mutual comparison or contrast), but prepare more than three for each text, since some may be more relevant than others to the actual question asked.
