1) As you know "First impression is the last impression" so the beginning must be striking.It is the basic requisite of good communication.You know that you have to attract the examiner so you should throw a flower in the very beginning

2)You know Amna who checks your paper?Of course a professor of EnglishSo what should be your choice to impress him? Of course a 'Literary Essay'.Being a student of English literature,You have edge over other candidates as you can easily deal with a literary essay.
Let's suppose,there comes not a single literary essay,then what should be your choice?The essay which is nearest to the literary one or the one in which you can easily blend literature

I attempted in 2011,"Truth is a rare commodity despite the freedom enjoyed by media". I started it with a quotation and I gave literary touch to my essay,like as I wrote quote by Keats on truth.I got 45 marks with zero preparation and no practice at all.This time I attempted "The suffering soul in the scientific age" and I'm expecting something unexpected

Hope you got my point

Here are my two outlines of literary essays,perhaps they may help you in any way;
