As always, your essay should be: an attempt to inquire about something worthy of your attention. It should not be a summary or a report. Just closely focus on some aspect of what you are writing about and try to use that feature of the work to illuminate the meaning of the whole. Essentially, I am asking you to read an image, which more or less involves the application of the same skill as for reading texts, but to a different medium. Your essay should be 600 ??" 700.
