A. not to create a simple plot outline
B. not to incorporate directly quoted excerpts of the literature
C. not to put events in sequential order
D. not to include a description of events as they occurred

Answer 1

When writing a chronological essay that provides a literary analysis, it is important to not create a simple plot outline. This is best represented by option A.

Instead of creating a simple plot outline, one can focus on the more significant literary elements such as character development and themes within the context of a chronological perspective. Rather than summarizing the plot, the essay should put its attention more on the significance of events.
