Explain how at least 2 literary pieces have portrayed a social group in a particular way. How might the contexts of these authors have influenced the portrayals of these groups?

(I will not write an entire answer as this is expected to be in essay form therefore I wouldn't be able to cover all of the response required)Introduction:Establish the texts being used and in particular the social groups which shall be discussed whilst giving a slight response as to why they are contextually relevant to the author.Paragraph 1:Select the particular social group and ensure you have evidence (quotes) in order to support the claim. Then proceed with the Point, Evidence, Analysis, Context method whilst ensuring that context is given the largest attention. Equally you want to have a wide knowledge of not only the author's perspective of that social group but also the general social climate at that period of time in order to give a rounded argument which cannot be flawed.Paragraph 2:Do the same as paragraph 1 but for the second literary textConclusion:essentially a repetition of the thesis statement from the introduction whilst emphasising the importance or lack of importance of context for these authors when depicting social groups and therefore acknowledging the need for understanding of context in order to fully interpret modern literature.
