Literature study guide: one work or theme, with plot, characters, devices, passage analyses and exercises

Example result

Example for the Standard package

Study guide: solving linear equations, for students aged 13–14

The one rule

An equation is a balance. Whatever you do to one side, you do to the other, and the balance stays level. The goal is to get x alone on one side.

Worked example 3: the unknown on both sides

Solve 5x − 4 = 2x + 11.

  1. Move the x terms to one side: take 2x from both sides. 5x − 2x − 4 = 11, so 3x − 4 = 11.
  2. Move the numbers to the other side: add 4 to both sides. 3x = 15.
  3. Divide both sides by 3. x = 5.
  4. Check: 5 × 5 − 4 = 21 and 2 × 5 + 11 = 21. Both sides match.

Common mistake

In 3(x + 2) = 18, many students write 3x + 2 = 18. The 3 multiplies everything in the brackets: 3x + 6 = 18, so x = 4.

Exercises 7–10

  1. 4x + 3 = x + 18
  2. 2(x − 5) = 14
  3. 7 − x = 3x − 9
  4. 3(2x + 1) = 4x + 15

Answers: 7. x = 5 · 8. x = 12 · 9. x = 4 · 10. x = 6

Files: PDF and Word. The guide is for learning: we do not do homework or tests to be handed in.

Client: a parent whose daughter gets lost when an equation has brackets or the unknown on both sides. Task: a guide at middle school level that starts from the basics and builds up to those two cases. Standard package: up to 8 pages, 6 worked examples, 20 exercises with answers and a summary sheet. Excerpt below.

The client and all details are made up.

About this service

A literature guide helps a learner understand a text, not skip reading it. It takes one work, poem, author or theme from your reading list at your level and sets out the plot and structure, the main characters and how they change, the key themes and the literary devices the author uses. Worked examples analyse a short passage step by step: what is said, how it is said and why it matters, and how to use a quotation as evidence. Exercises with answers check understanding and practise analysis. Tell us the work, the grade or course and what the exams ask for. You get PDF and Word files; Premium adds a test and an answer key. We don't write essays, reviews or homework to be handed in, and readings of a text can differ, so check the guide against your course.

Questions and answers

Will you write my literature essay?

No. We don't write essays, reviews or homework to be handed in as the learner's own work. The guide shows how to analyse a passage and support a point with a quotation, so the learner writes their own.

Does it replace reading the book?

No. It is a companion: it helps the learner follow and understand the text, and exams usually expect knowledge that only reading gives.

Can it cover a work in translation?

Yes. Tell us which translation you read; quotations and some devices depend on it.

Will it match how my course reads the text?

We give the widely accepted readings and follow your curriculum, but interpretations differ, so the learner or a teacher should check the guide against the course.
