A simple hack

 A SIMPLE 'HACK' IS TO ALWAYS MAKE REFERENCE TO WHAT THE AUTHORS WERE TRYING TO SAY. Both authors criticise the onset of advertising, both criticise expectations of marriage and relationships, both criticise the class system, both criticise the power held by the wealthy. If you remember this and ALWAYS make reference to these facts in your paragraphs, you will always have something to compare. Have a look at this for example:

Imagine your question is 'How do the writers present their attitudes to dreams?', start by thinking about their overall message...

Both writers criticise marriage within their texts, which reveals how the DREAM many people have about getting married is a facade>

Both writers show criticism of the class system in their texts which shows how foolish people are to DREAM about anything more from life.>

Both writers criticise the intrusive nature of advertising which reveals how people in their contexts are being missold DREAMS in order to keep them compliant in a capitalist society>

Both writers include characters whose appearance is totally different to their real state, which shows how people are often encouraged to create a version of themselves to achieve their DREAMS which has no substance in reality.

See how, by focusing on what the authors were trying to SAY, you can ALWAYS turn it into a point that answers the QUESTION!
