Yes I do too!
And okie dokes I'll get it!

Hey could you do me a favor and instead of grading one (problems) could you give me a general outline of exactly how you attempt the paper?

Also, mention what effects a punctuation has, for example, "The writer uses '...' instead of a full stop to make the reader keep reading", or, "The writer uses numerous commas to make a list sound long.", or, "The writer uses a dash to make the reader await further information." Again, remember a given passage will have MANY punctuations. You don't mention all of them, just the important ones.

One more thing is mentioning conjunctions, for eg, "The writer uses a repetition of the word 'and' to emphasise in the sentences: 'The earthquake had hit Florida. And San Francisco. And Seoul.'"

Finally, whatever you mention won't get you a mark for it UNLESS you mention something and describe the EFFECT it has on you as a reader: it will get you many marks. Saying that 'The writer uses a simile in the next sentence', is not enough.

You should mention in more detail, like, "The writer uses a simile in the next sentence: 'John was as brave as a lion.", this creates an effect of power and since the lion is generally regarded as a king, this simile makes John seem a bit royal too.
