Is it okay if I write two paragraphs on Module B, each focusing on a specific poem and then making minor links between the two? I go in-depth for each and critique T.S. Eliot.

Yes minimum is 2 but they would each be ~450 words
Actually most exemplars I read have 2 for some reason. Ig it gives space for deeper analysis/external critiques but I find 3 works better for me its up to you

where do you find exemplars from?

i was thinking i was going to have 1 paragraph on each poem prepared and just use 3 of them in the exam depending on the question, but i'm struggling to do that as particularly for the love song of j alfred prufrock and rhapsody on a windy night i feel needs more than just 4 quotes in a paragraph about it, and being able to write more/ go in depth about these sounds good.

but i've never heard of a 2 body paragraph essay.

you can have more than one quote per analysis, but make them shorter, you don't need the whole quote iykwim, focus more on analysis have as many quotes as you need.

my teacher said only use it if it enhances your argument, but at the end of the day you're writing a full essay in 40mins so if it doesn't enhance it, don't put it in, and you can still do just as well without it. But they've never been a HSC marker so take that with a grain of salt i guess. and i'm sure subconsciously some markers would be biased to like an essay with a little pretentious intellectualism thrown in
so who really knows.

so did mine but she was sped. squeeze a baby one in but make sure you use it to link to the purpose/textual integrity/authorial intent. that way its part of your argument and not just you restating someone else's commentary. consider someone significant to eliot. ezra pound was a big pioneer of imagism (im pretty sure that was before his time tho?). idk
