Then use the point that these books have outlived their relevancy and so they are no longer the literary masterpieces they once were. About 2 pieces of evidence in each paragraph. They state a piece of evidence and prove the claim through deliberate explanation, but they don’t stick to the same format, they change it up and make it different. They keep the way they introduce information interesting and different, as well as clear and concise.
