Are we allowed to put our own interpretations/readings into the essay?
My teacher told me that I was allowed to and it's even better because it shows that the reading really does relate to you etc. and that markers love it when you put your own life story/anecdote in. But has anyone else tried it out? I did, for my inschool assessment and I got an 18, but wouldn't I end up with the chance of getting a marker who's a bit... :S, about it? I just don't want to run into the chance of them being biased or anything...
