I have to write a thematic essay and a characteristic essay. I have a few questions in the writing. I am in grade 11 right now.

1) what should I include in the introduction? Whenever I write anything about the story, my tutor says that is summarizing and I should not do that since the reader knows the story. Whenever I try to introduce with a few words what the next few paragraphs are about, my tutor says it is too repetitive since the readers will know soon anyways. So, what should I put in the introduction because my introductions are so short now.

2) what should I include in the body paragraphs? I usually use three quotes to support my points. However, whenever I try to say anything about what happened in the story, my tutor says it's summarizing and I should not do that. And since it's a thematic or character essay, my tutor tells me not to write my opinions or too much off topic. Then, what should I write in the paragraphs.

- since in grade 11, essays are suppose to be 600-1000 words or more. What am I suppose to write in general? There is so much that I shouldn't write, what should I write then, like just in general?
