Coming up with fascinating topic ideas is one of the biggest challenges almost for all students who have to write English literature essays. Very often, students end up in “beating a dead horse” when the final idea they have for English literature essays is something like “Symbolism in Hamlet”.

Interesting vs. challenging
 
Bet you have heard hundreds of times that the topic of your essay on English literature should be interesting to you. While it is really so, we suggest you try a bit different thing.

Develop one of these ideas in your essay on English literature.
 
Say “no” to literary critics
 
Probably, this will sound a bit strange, but we do not recommend you start your work with reading critical comments on the book or free English literature essays written by other students. You will immediately hit upon others’ interpretations of the work. Remember that the teacher expects to find some fresh, unique ideas in your essay on English literature.

What does a book mean to you? Actually, it is the main question you should answer while writing a response essay. At a glance, writing response essays may look like writing a typical essay on Literature, where you have to analyze a work, define its main message, discuss the main characters, etc. Yet, it is not exactly so.
 
Writing an essay in response to a literary work allows you to focus on your own feelings, interpretations of the text and not to repeat what somebody has already said about the work. Anyway, let us present you more details about response essays.
 
The gist of writing response essays
 
So, the main feature of a response essay is that you are not supposed to make a classic literature analysis of a work. You do not have to follow some standard plan like plot-setting-character-symbolism analysis.
 
On the contrary, while reading a literary work and then writing your response essay, you should focus on your personality, experiences, memories, values, and beliefs, look at the book from this perspective, and bring your feelings into your response essay.
 
For instance, in the response essay, you do not have to explain some “hidden” meanings of the book in the way that all literary critics see them. Instead, be sure to introduce your own vision of the author’s main message, explain “hidden” meaning in your own way.
 
A plan for writing response essays
 
Although you can express whatever you think about literary works, response essays still require a certain organization. This is one of the plans you can use to prepare your response essay.
