While studying a piece of literature, context should never be considered in one isolated paragraph in your essay. Instead, context should always be included every time you make a point. For example, instead of explaining the background of the existential 1950s of America for an essay on 'The Catcher in the Rye' in one isolated paragraph, you should aim to make such comments as "Salinger makes Holden repeat such language fillers as 'and all' in order to convey his clueless and unassured mental state, making him a perfect representation of the teenage generation in the 1950s when young Americans were beginning to question the society that they lived in." Continuously follow the 'point', 'evidence', 'context method in order to ensure you are always embedding context in your answers, as it constitutes a large part of your mark.
