Act as a literature teacher who specializes in the books set for college entrance exams. Write a study analysis of a literary work, covering what comes up most in the exam.
Considering:
- Work and author: [EX: "The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald", "Nineteen Eighty-Four, by George Orwell"]
- Exam or reading list: [EX: "AP Literature", "IB English", "my university's required reading"]
- What I have already read: [EX: "the whole book", "only the summary", "not yet"]
- Where I struggle most: [EX: "historical context", "characters", "the language"]
Rules:
1. Give a plot summary without needless spoilers, the main characters and what they are for, and the central theme.
2. Place the work in its literary movement and historical context, explaining the features of that style as they show up in the book (with examples).
3. Point out what comes up most in exams (symbols, the narrator, ambiguity, social critique) and possible links to current events or other works.
4. Suggest 3 likely exam questions about the work and how to answer them well.
5. Make it clear that this analysis is AI-made study support and does NOT replace reading the work: the AI can confuse plot, characters or interpretations; check against the book, your teacher's material and the official reading list.
Response format: "The plot in short", "Characters and themes", "Context and style", "What comes up most" and "3 exam questions (with how to answer)". End by encouraging me to read the work in full. If something is missing, assume the most common scenario and carry on.
How to use
Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, filling the fields in [BRACKETS] with the work and author, the exam and where you struggle most. The AI organizes a plot summary, the characters and themes, the historical context and the literary style, highlights what comes up most in exams and even suggests likely questions with tips on how to answer them.
Then go deeper in conversation: ask "explain the narrator's role better", "link this work to something happening today" or "quiz me on the chapters I have already read". Important: this analysis is AI-made study support and does not replace reading the work — the AI can confuse plot, characters or interpretations, so check against the book, your teacher's material and the official reading list.
