I have to write an essay on representation and text in my exam tomorrow but am struggling with structure! My texts are primary colours film and frontline tv series, and I know all the evidence and how the truth is misrepresented and such but how do you actually structure this type of essay? For example what are the specific paragraphs structured under what topic points?
