    Summary:
    - It seems like that the more explanations (interpretations, Shakespeare's purpose,..) you write, the higher your mark.
    However, grade 9 students use fewer words as they have a fantastic vocabulary, while average students tend to explain with more lengthy sentences
    REMEMBER: Quality > Quantity
    - Use a variety of quotes (average grade 9 student used 13-15 quotes) - I would recommend to use quotes that perhaps not many people may tend to use, just to make sure you stand out in your essay
    - Explore writer's methods and purpose - use subject terminology (foreshadowing, contrast, metaphor,..), also namedrop "Shakespeare" adequately to force yourself in writing about his purpose and ideas
    - Average grade 9 student wrote around 9 paragraphs (around 100 words) - you don't have to follow a certain structure or anagram, be unique !
    - Just focus on explaining Shakespeare's ideas as best as you can with the best evidence
    - Include relevant context which links to the quote or Shakespeare's ideas or message
    - Examiners reward a coherent argument, so you could follow a chronological order to write your essay which makes it really simple to build a convincing argument
    - Three-part thesis beginning followed by a conclusion ( +quote at the end which looks at the final change to the character or the theme)
    - Conclusion must link to Shakespeare's ideas - you may want to add comments about society at that time (King James, Divine Right of Kings, Great Chain of Being, Role of women,..)
    Hope this helps !

      some people are probably just really good at pulling ideas out of quotes really quickly as they probably understand the entire book AND either that they can write really fast with a pen or they speed type on a computer.
