There are a number of ways to structure this; consider the following if you are struggling with organization:

1) Summary of the work you are examining
2) Brief biography of author
3) Example: Specific passage that connects to an aspect of the writer’s life
4) Additional example that connects to the writer’s life
5) Conclusion
