analyzing more examples makes essays naturally longer. don't just state points - explain WHY they matter

marking essays 5 years now. we notice period size tricks immediately. better approach: develop counterarguments, then refute them

found out how to make my essay longer last night - connect ideas between paragraphs. went from listing points to actually analyzing relationships

deeper research = longer essays naturally. hit academic databases, not just first page of google

expand context section. my film analysis doubled after adding cultural background of the era

y'all, quotation analysis is gold. don't just drop quotes - explain each significant phrase

developed this formula: claim -> example -> explain -> connect -> broader impact. fills pages meaningfully

these actually sound useful... way better than my "repeat things differently" strategy

add limitations section - what factors might affect your argument? instant length + shows critical thinking

Yo, this thread is gold. I used to just reword my points differently when I was stuck, but that never really worked. The whole ‘connect ideas between paragraphs’ and ‘analyze relationships’ thing actually makes a huge difference. Also, adding a limitations section? Never thought of that, but it makes so much sense—instantly makes your argument sound deeper. Definitely gonna try some of these next time.
