Is what he is asking too much?

For sixth period what is the prompt that we can write about?
Okay, did some clarification... (You're just too fast for me!)
Ok for the essay....can i add in more paragraphs instead of potentially only having two with the explain why the book is contested and my own opinion about it? So like as an example can I have another paragraph about 2 the themes of the novel and maybe another one about her purpose of writing the novel? (I would probably put the themes of the novel instead of her purpose)
