    Although both 'Tissue' by Imtiaz Dharker and 'Ozymandias' by Percy Bysshe Shelley explore how power should be exercised in different ways, Dharker focuses on the importance of what holds greatest value in life - love, humanity and people, which are not found in modern consumerist societies, where the livelihoods of people are dominated by capitalism and wealth, in contrast to Shelley, who more directly warns that power should be exercised with humility, evoked in the striking description of the ruined state of a powerful figure from the past - Ramases II. While Dharker perhaps critiques the power of religious institutions and contemporary systems of government, Shelley offers a more implicit warning to powerful leaders of the present, showing that power is transcient.

      Your teacher makes important points… Context is important! Also make sure to use enough quotes to back up your analysis. You don’t rly need a lot of paragraphs to get good grades if you have really good quality and high standard analysis in your answer, but if you’re a less confident student, more paragraphs helps to guarantee a top grade because there so much to get marked on. Hope this helps! :))
