Answer 3

How i should be wording and answering these questions

Answer 4

Since this is a huge chunk of paragraphs, questions, etc. I would start by breaking it down. Consider each book and choose to answer the question based on which book relates the best to the question. For things like "big questions" think back to your readings and the essential themes in each book. Look for a connection between the major themes and the big questions per unit.

For the wording, let me know what is confusing you and hopefully I can explain further depending on the question. If say, question two is confusing you with the use of the word hyperbole then it would be helpful to know that for example, a hyperbole is simply an exaggeration that authors often use to create an impression.
