Separate observation and inference
Identify what a character says or does, then explain what that might suggest. Consider another reading where the evidence allows it.
Clarify figurative language
Explore the literal image, its context and possible associations. Avoid treating the explanation as a guess at a hidden answer.
Define the essay’s purpose
Unpack the command word and scope. Plan the points needed to answer this question rather than everything known about the text.

Yes. A useful discussion tests readings against the text and considers their limitations. You should be able to ask why an interpretation is persuasive.
No. Confirm your board, course code, chosen works and route before selecting practice tasks.
