This is the type of essay that you’ll find at the college or university level, as well as in A-Level exams such as AQA English Literature ‘Modern Times’, OCR American Literature ‘Comparative and Contextual Study’, WJEC’S Unseen Component 3 and more. It is suitable for OCR, AQA, Edexcel, and WJEC Literature A-Level.
