How do you include personal response in an essay about analyzing a theme?

Question

I find it hard to incorporate that kind of thing in an essay of all facts. Can anyone give me suggestions or tips?

Answer 1

Relating facts to yourself personally is one thing; if, of course, you are "able" to make that relation; say the facts have nothing to do with you, and you have never related yourself to them in any way.  

This would depend on the theme of the essay- the subject's backdrop- and if you can not relate to these facts because e.g. you have never experienced them etc, attempt to connect with them from your inexperience.  If you were in that position, how would you respond to this or that stimulus etc. Even if you can not relate, connect the facts to which you can not relate with your inexperience of them and how you would be if faced with such facts.  

In this way, you would be able to demonstrate your personality in t he face of such facts without having to experience them (for a number of reasons).  

Cheers.

Answer 2

Relate the facts or theme to yourself. Has anything like this ever happened to you? or also have you read anything like this. Compare it to any music literature or movies.
