Are you struggling with how to analyze Purple Hibiscus? Do you need steps to help you with how to analyze Purple Hibiscus? Do you find that you make mistakes which harm your grade such as:

Or have a prediction for the extract

passage was sooo bad😭😭 but I lowkey loved the text Q, just talked about Jaja leading the progressing defiance vs papa, being protective, selfless and stepping up when it matters to protect his luvd ones which evokes respect. Thank u for the videos, you are saving teens year on year!!

Hi Mr.P 😀😀 your videos are so helpful!!!! If i choose an extract question and I want to analyse a sentence that’s pretty long (but has the keywords to zoom in), could i use ellipsis to not waste time? for example, “I lay in bed after Mama left and let my mind rake through the past, through the years when Jaja and Mama and I spoke more with our spirits than with our lips.” change to ➡️ “I lay in bed…mind rake through…spoke with our spirits than..lips”. & start my word-zooming-in analysis after? Or should i just write the whole sentence and just break it down by each part after e.g. The sentence “I lay in bed after Mama left and let my mind rake through the past, through the years when Jaja and Mama and I spoke more with our spirits than with our lips” emphasises the relief Kambili feels. This can be seen in the phrase “lay in bed”, an action kambili displays when she feels safe, contrasting to~~~. Also, it can be seen in the verb “rake”~~. I’m scared i’d lose marks if i use ellipsis but waste unnecessary time if i dont. I hope my question makes sense😅😅

Hi Gloria. Your question makes sense. Yes, ellipsis is fine. As a rule try to keep quotations as short as possible to support or illustrate the point you are making. Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have further questions or need more clarification on the quotations. Good luck!
