Strictly use this structure for the essay as advised by my professor:

-Intro, brief outline of the subject
e.g. In this essay I will be looking at the idea of ….
little definition… you can use first person but not for opinion only if your saying, in this essay I”m going to be looking at these 3 issues

-Body
8 paragraphs – 4 ideas- 1 idea per 2 paragraphs – through that one idea more ideas come out of that
logical… make it flow on from each other
you can link by themes
e.g. this theme of blank is expressed here…

-Conclusion
no new ideas
no quotes
summarize main points
nothing new
e.g. in this essay i have argued this…. or due to the limited scope of this essay further research can be done…

a bit of information from my course reader (don”t use this as its plagiarism) : Ecocriticism is a critical framework that appeared in the final decades of

the twentieth-century, but has much deeper roots. Ecocriticism is analysis and critique of the relationship between writing (and cultural production more

generally) and the natural world. As its heart, ecocriticism aims to change how people perceive their relationship with the natural environment.
