How should I structure a 6 mark literature question?

Firstly you should specify what exactly the question is looking for (i.e. how does the language used convey a sense of urgency). Make sure your responses are focused on that topic. The three points you make should include primarily the point you are making, the evidence in Greek (and translated), followed with analysis describing how stylistic choice emphasises the sense. For example, one might structure it is 'X conveys a sense of urgency through the swift pace of the language. This is demonstrated in the Greek phrase '...' (translation). The stylistic use of (insert technique, i.e. asyndeton) speeds up the rhythm of the phrase and enhances the speed.'
