The literature essays have several requirements and considerations that you should keep in mind.

First, it is an in-class essay, so the spelling and grammar "stuff" is less of a concern than if you had time to write and review and draft the essay.

Second, it is a literature response written for/to an audience who has read the same piece of literature.
