    Hey :) Structure it like this: have an opening paragraph that says that you disagree or agree with the given statement, why you agree/disagree and state the poems you have studied. Then move on to the body of your answer. Discuss about 4/5 poems and have a separate paragraph for each. Make a point, explain it then back it up with a quote :) link similar themed poems. Have a closing paragraph that sums up your answer, just basically reinforcing why you agree or disagree with the statement. Do not make new points in the conclusion paragraph. Relevant background information is nice to have but not too much. A quote from the poet about something they actually said also makes a very good addition to an answer

    Only if it's relevant to what you're discussing like with First Death In Nova Scotia or Sestina, it's probably worth writing that there was turmoil in her own family life.
