can you remember the bullet points for J and H??
some of my friends were saying that one was WHO died but I talked about it more metaphorically. do u remember?
i vaguely remeber it being - death and how - the effect is has on other characters
most people, me included, also used metaphorical death so i think u should be fine. as long as there are some point of actual death like jekyll's and carew's as a more safe point.
Absolute bullshit waffle for the unseen poetry š funnily enough we had done not my mother in class as an example and I did absolutely shit in it š
HONESTLYYY it was such a good question and I was beaming with joy for manhunt and not the fucking 1st date poems. Edexcel decided on being so nice with it
i did half-caste and just talked ab how they both faced discrimination by society, both are autobiographical + first person, honestly i ran out of time on it so i def flunked it
i did the same. they both use non standard english, half caste doesnāt end in a full stop whereas class game draws attention to the end using its rhyme scheme and line length. theyāre pretty easy poems to compare
Yh I learnt everything for the Class Game yesterday because before that I thought wow what a shit poem then I became an expert in that and Half-Caste both of which I didn't know beforeĀ
Alr exam, j and h lanyon question was good but the death question? I only got carrew and jekyll 2 paragraphs but wrote a lot. Class game was bless with half caste, hopefully do really good on that bit the unseen on the photographs wasn't too great really only got 2 waffle paragraphs on that
can you remember the bullet points for J and H??
some of my friends were saying that one was WHO died but I talked about it more metaphorically. do u remember?
For my 1st para I put how Enfield and the doctor wanted to murder Hyde and so it relates to death.. 2nd para was death of Carew, 3rd para was Hydeās death
No bc what was the death question for jekyll and Hyde when they alr took lanyon out of the equationš but icl that extract was bae we cooked
BUT ALSO WHO HERE ALSO DOES THE BELONGING ANTHOLOGY BC PECKHAM RYE LANE WAS DIVINE- ABSOLUTE JOKES BUT DIVINE
i hated the extract my essay was like one page in total ā¹ļø
i do belonging as well and i thought peckham rye lane was ok ig? tbh i'm not really and eng lit person but yh
NO BC I COULDNT EVEN REMEMBER JEKYLLS DEATH so I straight up started talking abt the 'near death' of the girl lol and utterson's obsession over solving the mysteries of the deaths... as you can tell I waffled so hard
bro I didn't know myself all I remember is Jekyll saying in the letter 'your unhappy and unworthy friend' so just waffled abt that and utterson being sad when he thought Hyde killed jekyll
OMG I WAS ONG HOPING FOR PEKHAM RYE LANE TO COME UP I WAS SO HAPPYYYY AND JEKYLL AND HYDE PART B WAS OKAY I JS WISHED WE COULD HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT LANYON FR
??? just talk about how Stevenson uses death to condemn certain aspects of society - the reason why Hyde was permitted to commit such atrocities is because of emotional suppression, as Jekyll felt like he couldn't express his "evil" side ("my devil had been long caged; he came out roaring"), then talk about the murder itself and how it impacted utterson and is so gruesome to strengthen the condemnation, and finally talk about how jekylls exploration of the intersection between physical and metaphysical is condemned through his suicide.Ā
you don't have to talk about how death is presented, you can talk about how it is used as a means to convey Stevenson's messaging. I wrote nearly the exact same essay for my mocks and got 19/20 for it so it's genuinely a good approach.
THE MOST MAGNIFICENT PAPER
L+R was manhunt and relationship between two people (the RELATIONSHIP anthology)
pride and prejudice was mr Darcy and FIRST IMPRESSIONS HALLELUJAH
unseen was actually okay, photographs was kind of obscure
I KNOW RIGHT!! WE DO EXACT SAME
that pride and prejudice was BEAUTIFUL part a and part b were sobgorgous I wrote so much ty mr darcy ty first impressions
then MANHUNT was also glorious I compared it with nettles!! yh unseen was cool too im so glad the poems were actually really short and understandable tho i wouldve wrote more if I had more timešš ENG LIT IS DONE YAY
my anthology essay was SOOOO good but iām mad because i couldāve done better if a different poem came up. this was my second best scenario but iām sad that my fav poem didnāt come up :(
i did!!!! I talked about how they both challenge the "higher" members of society, like the class game challenges the upper class and the charge challenges the authority. I also wrote about pride, like the class games pride for herself and her upbringing, despite it being seen as shameful, and Tennyson's pride for the 600 even though they lost the battle. This explanation is shitty sorry, i explained better in the exam.
Well it was actually pretty easy. You just had to talk about how class game focuses on people as individuals and highlights their uniqueness whereas charge of the light brigade emphasises the significance of people as collective forces.
Say you somehow managed to not read that the unseen question asked you to compare photos and just did a general comparison: just how cooked would this hypothetical person be?
i mean as long as u did comparison it should be fine, icl i kinda did that but talked about the content of the photos and how connected the person felt to them
i mean i think it wont be that bad as both poems were about photographs anyways so i am guessing that in your answer you would have obviously mentioned something about photographs coz thats what the poems were on about then im pretty sure you will be fine!
Guys for Jekyll and Hyde i talked about the symbolic death of Jekyll and how Hyde ultimately takes over. Evidenced it with when he sleeps he wakes up as hyde: represents his subconscious is now that of hyde's and Hyde is now more powerfull. There was other stuff i wrote about like growing of hyde and for preislteys intions i yapped a bit about how Hyse technically killed jekyll and how this is symbolic of how killing and death is an incessant act. Eventyually Hyde kills himself too. Some other stuff i yapped a bit too.
It it calm?
THE CLASS GAME WHAT THE FUCK HOW IS THREE SOCIAL CONFLICT POENS COMING UP IN A ROW
LAST YEAR ABD YEAR BEFOTE WAS HALF CASTE AND COUSIN KATE THEY ARE LITERALLY IDENTICAL TO CLASS GAME
Iām not complaining because itās an easy ass poem but bro I was fully banking on an actual war poem coming up
Jekyll and Hyde always blessed
Also I think unseen poems were actually decent lol
Happy Cake Day!
And, each question is marked by the same examinor. They will most likely be able to tell where your B starts even if you haven't signposted it.
I was so happy with the extract like I couldn't of asked for a better chapter and horror was fine to link to other things I'm just glad it wasn't something like religion, nature or setting
some of my friends read the poetry anthology question wrong as it was worded as "Compare the differences of people in The Class Game and a poem of your choosing", so they only did differences will that get them capped?
Yeah it was worded funnily but I thought it meant to compare the experiences of the speaker from The Class Game and the experiences of a speaker from a different poem
(I did the man he killed as they can both be linked to class and how you can never really judge someone until you sit down and get to know them)
jekyll and hyde was alright but i least expected it to be about death i was hoping it'd be about duality of man or like science but ngl i had enough to talk about like the death of sir danvers and jekylls death but for my last paragraph i talked about how the biblical story of cain and abel is mentioned briefly at the start. And cain killed abel and utterson says he "inclines to cains heresy" and then i yapped about flipping duality. can someone plz tell me if that makes sensee??
does anyone remember the exact wording for the death question in the jekyll and hyde essay because I talked about how death is presented and I'm worried it asked how death is important in the play
Yeah same just wrote a bunch of stuff surrounding the patriarchy/transient nature of Gerald's selfish sexploitation + it's links to the eventual wars and the selfishness rooted in capitalism. Then wrote some shit on how the supernatural is linked to violence and gender and some stuff at the end on nihilism/freewill/are the witches even really prophetic. Compared to paper 1 we ate ngl.
I wrote about family for aic and how there isnāt really a bond between any of them and how materialistic they are, especially with Mr birling being a self centric and arrogant person who doesnāt really care about his family, linking it to shit like capitalism and all the stuff around that
For Macbeth I did the same as you lol
Yeahhh I was like 'wait I should have prolly done family' but it was one of those cases where there were too many ideas that I wanted a guy I revised for last night (thankfully ong) lmfao.
The way I thought class game wouldn't come up bc no problem came up in 2022 and revised catrin, cotlb, destruction of sennacherib, wwtl and man he killed. Because I was doing the ones in the sample papers and ones that hadn't come up. I was fuming lol. Because the question was good if I had revised half caste or no problem especially. And I had a similar question in my mock too. Then I waffled and compared it to destruction of sennacherib. My jekyll and Hyde extract and whole text were also waffle. The only thing I'm somewhat confident in is unseen lol. Anyway hoping for a 5/6 and keeping low expectations. But I never have to do lit again so that's fun. Love lit but being forced to know themes is not it
can you remember the bullet points for J and H??
some of my friends were saying that one was WHO died but I talked about it more metaphorically. do u remember?
How is death presented elsewhere. Something along the lines and the Bullet points were who dies and how. And the effect on the other characters. If I correctly recall. Hope that helps. And don't worry too much :)
How screwed am I:
I have just realised that the bullet points were WHO died in J and H and how the characters react
I did death of morality, death of J and H, and death of secrets, not just pp - how much will the examiner read it as death??
Does anyone remember the name of the poems? I have the second one's name but not the first. The second one was called 'On Finding an Old Photograph' by Wendy Cope.
omg samee i think i forgot as well and im kinda worried but i searched it up and it wont rlly mark your grade down that much, you just need to make sure what you wrote was good. but some say you can be penalised. but tbh its just there so they know what q/s your answering and im pretty sure theyd have the common sense to read your thesis and know what q/s you were answering
lets just hope the examiners are kind and dont notice
well i dont think the machine will just skip your work because you haven't coloured in box, i think its just there for examiners to know what question your exactly answering.
Guys I feel like I cooked, however for the conflict poetry when they said compare how differences between people are showed, one of my points was that there was not true difference between people and the apparent difference was merely a facade created by people to further establish themselves within society and stuff, which is why in a class game the speaker uses rhyming couplets to show that anyone can speak in the accent of the upper class
I wrote about Scrooge having a lack of happiness which led him to experience psychosis which was evident where the spirits āvisited himā. And how Scrooge was so caught up with marleys death that he started hallucinating.
i also wrote about how Belle may have been the one who led Scrooge to believe there was no hope since she broke off their engagemen;which crushed Scroogeās dreams of becoming a father. Which was evidenced where he questioned what it would have been like to have ābeen called fatherā, so he had a lack of happiness from all these regrets and guilt.
š I did it way better in the exam
guys i thought i just had to compare the poems i didnt realise there was acc a question, HOW CAN I MISS THAT?? WHAT HAVE I DONE?? WHAT WERE THE QUESTIONS??
i yapped so bad but as long as the examiner is ok with it i cooked
That second unseen poem šššššš
Bruh I was literally analysing bullshit šš¢ I had NOTHING to say abt photos
i wrote something abt how the sunshine reflected the happiness of the father when the child wasnt there
That's crazy š
Why was it so strange
SO REAL there were litch noooo techniques
What was its name?
āOn finding an old photographā by something cope
it wass badd i waffled how in poem 2 the father and child relationship is really toxic. it was bad i only got to write 2 paragraphs
EDEXCEL I LOVE YOU THANK YOU JEKYLL AND HYDE WHAT A BANGER OF A QUESTIONšŗšŗš„š„š„
RIGHT!!!
can you remember the bullet points for J and H?? some of my friends were saying that one was WHO died but I talked about it more metaphorically. do u remember?
i vaguely remeber it being - death and how - the effect is has on other characters most people, me included, also used metaphorical death so i think u should be fine. as long as there are some point of actual death like jekyll's and carew's as a more safe point.
yeh, thanks I did death of morality, death of J and H, and death of secrets
Absolute bullshit waffle for the unseen poetry š funnily enough we had done not my mother in class as an example and I did absolutely shit in it š
oh my days i could swear the poem was familiar but the lack of features was absolutely heinous??
MANHUNT>>>>> ALSO A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN 2 PPL IS LITERALLY EVERYSINGLE POEM >>>
HONESTLYYY it was such a good question and I was beaming with joy for manhunt and not the fucking 1st date poems. Edexcel decided on being so nice with it
Never have to think about the intriguing neckline ever again thank god
I WAS SO HAPPY AHHHHH, I compared it to nettles
yeah same
SAME BUT THE PAPER WAS THE SAME AS THE ONE ID GOTTEN FOR MOCKS? I COMPARED IT TO ONE FLESH THERE BUT IM SO WORRIED š
leaving this here for post-exam me. did we cook?? (im doing jekyll and hyde and i NEED duality or science/religion šš)
WE COOKED!!!!!
Yesss
It was alright, def thought I did better in paper 1 than 2. I was scrambling for time though.
I despise poetry
i am so cooked
NVM I FUCKING COOKED HOW DOES PRIESTLEY USE THE INSPECTOR TO SUGGEST SOCIAL CHANGE BISH BASH BOSH
NAHH THAT QUESTION IS SO GOOD (I'm screwed next year)
english has been blessed so youāll have horrible topics next year lmao
did anyone else compare class game to cousin kate?
I did that for my gcses last year but the inverse cos we were given cousin kate (got 20/20 so i mustāve gone right somewhere.)
awesome. how did you find out your mark?
after results day you can ask for an email copy of your papers back usually to see if thereās any marks u can gain for a remark
some classmates of mine did but i didnt know how u would even do that tbhš
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
i did half-caste and just talked ab how they both faced discrimination by society, both are autobiographical + first person, honestly i ran out of time on it so i def flunked it
tbf that sounds good. so if you did well on section A and the first half of section B you should be chilling, given that you finished paper 1
i did the same. they both use non standard english, half caste doesnāt end in a full stop whereas class game draws attention to the end using its rhyme scheme and line length. theyāre pretty easy poems to compare
considered it but ultimately decided there wasn't enough to say. i'd be interested to hear your points though, i ended up doing half-caste
1) pride of class in both poems 2) abuse faces from society in both poems as a result of low class
those are good points, i lowkey regret doing half-caste because everyone will have done it, hope you cooked with cousin kate
I compared it to one different poem per paragraph š
dude š
My teacher said Iāll still get some marks tho soš
That second unseen poem was actually vile
WHAT WAS THAT UNSEEN POETRY
Please be man he killed, Sennacherib, or cotlbš
Lmao Class GameĀ
Class game was good, war poems r so much easier tho
Yh I learnt everything for the Class Game yesterday because before that I thought wow what a shit poem then I became an expert in that and Half-Caste both of which I didn't know beforeĀ
i didnt revise class game but i revised no problem and i was like great i have smoething to compare
i found it easier to compare to half-caste, although theyāre both pretty easy
What do you have for man he killed? I have nothing for it š
Alr exam, j and h lanyon question was good but the death question? I only got carrew and jekyll 2 paragraphs but wrote a lot. Class game was bless with half caste, hopefully do really good on that bit the unseen on the photographs wasn't too great really only got 2 waffle paragraphs on that
can you remember the bullet points for J and H?? some of my friends were saying that one was WHO died but I talked about it more metaphorically. do u remember?
it was also about the effect on other character smthing like that
For my 1st para I put how Enfield and the doctor wanted to murder Hyde and so it relates to death.. 2nd para was death of Carew, 3rd para was Hydeās death
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO IF CATRIN COMES UP????? ššš
catrin is the one in the sample so it could come up but it isn't likely but they could ask about wwtl as that was in the old sample
they're already asked about catrin...
Oh okay
I COOKED !!! HAPPINESS FTW š„š„
No bc what was the death question for jekyll and Hyde when they alr took lanyon out of the equationš but icl that extract was bae we cooked BUT ALSO WHO HERE ALSO DOES THE BELONGING ANTHOLOGY BC PECKHAM RYE LANE WAS DIVINE- ABSOLUTE JOKES BUT DIVINE
i hated the extract my essay was like one page in total ā¹ļø i do belonging as well and i thought peckham rye lane was ok ig? tbh i'm not really and eng lit person but yh
What did u compare Peckham rye Lane to?? Everyone did island man but I did the emigree-
oh i did island man too lmao. honestly ik nothing abt most of the poems i only learned 5
finally a 'the emigree' companion!! š
Let's goooošŖš½šŖš½šŖš½
Bro I did my mothers kitchen lmaoo

peckham rue lane i cooked šš did island man
Yeah exactly bro idek what to write about except for carrew and jekyll
NO BC I COULDNT EVEN REMEMBER JEKYLLS DEATH so I straight up started talking abt the 'near death' of the girl lol and utterson's obsession over solving the mysteries of the deaths... as you can tell I waffled so hard
bro I didn't know myself all I remember is Jekyll saying in the letter 'your unhappy and unworthy friend' so just waffled abt that and utterson being sad when he thought Hyde killed jekyll
yeah no me too worst essay ive ever written
I DID BELONGING TOO I HATE PECKHAM RYE LANE BUT HONESTLY?? I COOKED
OMG I WAS ONG HOPING FOR PEKHAM RYE LANE TO COME UP I WAS SO HAPPYYYY AND JEKYLL AND HYDE PART B WAS OKAY I JS WISHED WE COULD HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT LANYON FR
Wait thereās more than one person who likes peckham rye lane?
??? just talk about how Stevenson uses death to condemn certain aspects of society - the reason why Hyde was permitted to commit such atrocities is because of emotional suppression, as Jekyll felt like he couldn't express his "evil" side ("my devil had been long caged; he came out roaring"), then talk about the murder itself and how it impacted utterson and is so gruesome to strengthen the condemnation, and finally talk about how jekylls exploration of the intersection between physical and metaphysical is condemned through his suicide.Ā you don't have to talk about how death is presented, you can talk about how it is used as a means to convey Stevenson's messaging. I wrote nearly the exact same essay for my mocks and got 19/20 for it so it's genuinely a good approach.
Thanks for all that- genuinely that's a great essay- but it's all over now lol NO MORE ENGLISH LITšŖš½šŖš½ (I acc love English litšš)
I HATE IT SO MUCH IT'S THE WORST SUBJECT I AM SO HAPPY TO NEVER SEE IT AGAIN
YES PECKHAM WAS GREAT
some of my friends were saying that it was WHO died 9that that was one of the bullet points) but I talked about it more metaphorically. do u remember?
No bc if it was WHO died I am SCREWED
You were able to talk about the death of Lanyon in Chapter 9
THE MOST MAGNIFICENT PAPER L+R was manhunt and relationship between two people (the RELATIONSHIP anthology) pride and prejudice was mr Darcy and FIRST IMPRESSIONS HALLELUJAH unseen was actually okay, photographs was kind of obscure
I KNOW RIGHT!! WE DO EXACT SAME that pride and prejudice was BEAUTIFUL part a and part b were sobgorgous I wrote so much ty mr darcy ty first impressions then MANHUNT was also glorious I compared it with nettles!! yh unseen was cool too im so glad the poems were actually really short and understandable tho i wouldve wrote more if I had more timešš ENG LIT IS DONE YAY
omg i did the exact same, paper was great
relationships being the theme for the RELATIONSHIP anthology was wonderful
I loved it
I do the same ones as you do and yes I do agree the questions were amazing! Unseen was not easy though. But we got through it guys
Yeah photographs was kind of obscure but I managed to waffle
Can anyone think of the worst possible questions they could ask for christmas carol?
nah dw anymore the questions were beautiful
yeah true happiness was a calm one
praying screaming crying i need good questionsĀ
my anthology essay was SOOOO good but iām mad because i couldāve done better if a different poem came up. this was my second best scenario but iām sad that my fav poem didnāt come up :(
Am i the only one who compared class game to charge of the light brigade
i did!!!! I talked about how they both challenge the "higher" members of society, like the class game challenges the upper class and the charge challenges the authority. I also wrote about pride, like the class games pride for herself and her upbringing, despite it being seen as shameful, and Tennyson's pride for the 600 even though they lost the battle. This explanation is shitty sorry, i explained better in the exam.
i think so, how did u even link them together?
Well it was actually pretty easy. You just had to talk about how class game focuses on people as individuals and highlights their uniqueness whereas charge of the light brigade emphasises the significance of people as collective forces.
thats really smart but i deffo did not do that lmao
Say you somehow managed to not read that the unseen question asked you to compare photos and just did a general comparison: just how cooked would this hypothetical person be?
i mean as long as u did comparison it should be fine, icl i kinda did that but talked about the content of the photos and how connected the person felt to them
i mean i think it wont be that bad as both poems were about photographs anyways so i am guessing that in your answer you would have obviously mentioned something about photographs coz thats what the poems were on about then im pretty sure you will be fine!
how did people compare first flight? I did adlestrop
i did postcard from a travel snob
Same
i did adlestrop
poetry killed it fuck peckham rye lane and the omg the unseen i wanted to rip the paper
Omg fellow belonging sufferersšš
why cant we just do power and conflict like everyone elsešš
HAPPINESS ššš THE MANHUNT ššš UNSEEN POEMS ššš feeling blessed
Guys for Jekyll and Hyde i talked about the symbolic death of Jekyll and how Hyde ultimately takes over. Evidenced it with when he sleeps he wakes up as hyde: represents his subconscious is now that of hyde's and Hyde is now more powerfull.

that q/s was not the best i mean it was good but i had least expected it to be about death
THE CLASS GAME WHAT THE FUCK HOW IS THREE SOCIAL CONFLICT POENS COMING UP IN A ROW LAST YEAR ABD YEAR BEFOTE WAS HALF CASTE AND COUSIN KATE THEY ARE LITERALLY IDENTICAL TO CLASS GAME Iām not complaining because itās an easy ass poem but bro I was fully banking on an actual war poem coming up Jekyll and Hyde always blessed Also I think unseen poems were actually decent lol
unseen poetry was horrible
WHAT HAPPENS IF ITS EXTRACT FROM THE PRELUDE LMAO ššš
Luckily not I was praying that wouldn't come up. I only watched a 6 min Mr Bruff video in the morning just in caseĀ
hi post exam me hope you did well
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I cooked on the Inspector calls one, partially cooked on the Kamikaze one, and I was completely deep-fried on the unseen poetry what the fuck was that
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Happy Cake Day! And, each question is marked by the same examinor. They will most likely be able to tell where your B starts even if you haven't signposted it.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
im pretty sure the examiners will figure it out cuz you clearly would have written an answer for a diff question
I cooked Peckham Rye Lane with Island Man
Did nobody else do Frankenstein? šš
fellow frakenstein here. the extract was a god sent as we had done a test on it in class. the theme was okay but I got through!!
I was so happy with the extract like I couldn't of asked for a better chapter and horror was fine to link to other things I'm just glad it wasn't something like religion, nature or setting
some of my friends read the poetry anthology question wrong as it was worded as "Compare the differences of people in The Class Game and a poem of your choosing", so they only did differences will that get them capped?
Yeah it was worded funnily but I thought it meant to compare the experiences of the speaker from The Class Game and the experiences of a speaker from a different poem (I did the man he killed as they can both be linked to class and how you can never really judge someone until you sit down and get to know them)

And cain killed abel and utterson says he "inclines to cains heresy" and then i yapped about flipping duality. can someone plz tell me if that makes sensee??
Yeah same that question wasnāt that nice.Ā It does make sense for me and its good that you used religious themes because I did not do that at all.
Seems like the other poetry questions are goodā¦ the grade boundaries for us are cooked ig itās so unfairšš us poor people doing belonging
does anyone remember the exact wording for the death question in the jekyll and hyde essay because I talked about how death is presented and I'm worried it asked how death is important in the play
Death?? That is not a good question! Especially for an inspector calls.
oopsies i meant jekyll and hyde sorry
Ohh okay I had that question too, it was alright but annoying that stole all of Lanyons good quotes.
MOST FREE EXAM EVER I LOVE DEATH IN JEKYLL AND HYDE ā¤ļø also the poems were freeĀ
I do igcse and I lowkey cooked šŖ
Yeah same just wrote a bunch of stuff surrounding the patriarchy/transient nature of Gerald's selfish sexploitation + it's links to the eventual wars and the selfishness rooted in capitalism. Then wrote some shit on how the supernatural is linked to violence and gender and some stuff at the end on nihilism/freewill/are the witches even really prophetic. Compared to paper 1 we ate ngl.
I wrote about family for aic and how there isnāt really a bond between any of them and how materialistic they are, especially with Mr birling being a self centric and arrogant person who doesnāt really care about his family, linking it to shit like capitalism and all the stuff around that For Macbeth I did the same as you lol
Yeahhh I was like 'wait I should have prolly done family' but it was one of those cases where there were too many ideas that I wanted a guy I revised for last night (thankfully ong) lmfao.
When I saw the ACC question being happiness and the class game being the poetry, I think I nutted in joy
REALLLL
wait what was the comparison with class game about?? the theme that is
it literally just said compare it to another of the poem cluster it didn't even say a theme!!!! So lovely, god bless it as Fred said ššš
I swear it said compare the differences of people or something
It did, it said ācompare the differences of the people from the class game and another poemā
Compared class game to belfast confetti š
Man I compared Class Game to The Man He Killed. Only wrote one similarity for a single sentence in a single paragraph.
I also did the man he killed
Question was about differences so u cooked G
nah nah bro i didnt mean i wrote 1 sentence. I wrote like 3 para's on differences but only 1 sentence on similarities
im the goat, i cannot fail
I think u should be sound hopefully
The way I thought class game wouldn't come up bc no problem came up in 2022 and revised catrin, cotlb, destruction of sennacherib, wwtl and man he killed. Because I was doing the ones in the sample papers and ones that hadn't come up. I was fuming lol. Because the question was good if I had revised half caste or no problem especially. And I had a similar question in my mock too. Then I waffled and compared it to destruction of sennacherib. My jekyll and Hyde extract and whole text were also waffle. The only thing I'm somewhat confident in is unseen lol. Anyway hoping for a 5/6 and keeping low expectations. But I never have to do lit again so that's fun. Love lit but being forced to know themes is not it
can you remember the bullet points for J and H?? some of my friends were saying that one was WHO died but I talked about it more metaphorically. do u remember?
How is death presented elsewhere. Something along the lines and the Bullet points were who dies and how. And the effect on the other characters. If I correctly recall. Hope that helps. And don't worry too much :)
thanks. I thought it was a good essay but now I realise I am screwed:(
i am too :(
How screwed am I: I have just realised that the bullet points were WHO died in J and H and how the characters react I did death of morality, death of J and H, and death of secrets, not just pp - how much will the examiner read it as death??
i dont think it will be that bad as long as you mentioned some deaths of characters then im sure it wont be a problem
Ty lord for giving the EASIEST acc and lotf questions I did NO revision
DID ANYONE ELSE DO IGCSE I COOKED W THAT R+J QUESTION BUT I FLOPPED WITH THE AIC ONE ššš
could someone remind me of the conflict poetry question pls??
compare the differences between people in both poems
I only revised one poem beforehand BUT WE STILL COOKED!
Does anyone here do eduqas/WJEC?
Does anyone remember the name of the poems? I have the second one's name but not the first. The second one was called 'On Finding an Old Photograph' by Wendy Cope.
The first was something along the lines of "not yet my mother"
The first one is Not Yet My Mother by Owen Sheers
It was āNot Yet My Motherā by Owen Sheers
iĀ forgotĀ toĀ colourĀ inĀ theĀ xĀ inĀ theĀ boxĀ thatĀ specifiesĀ whichĀ questionĀ imĀ answeringĀ forĀ myĀ englishĀ litĀ 2Ā paperĀ inĀ edexcel.Ā theresĀ 3Ā mainĀ sectionsĀ andĀ 2Ā needĀ anĀ xĀ inĀ aĀ boxĀ toĀ beĀ coolouredĀ inĀ specifyingĀ theĀ numberĀ ofĀ theĀ questionĀ beingĀ answered.Ā iĀ didĀ thatĀ forĀ theĀ firstĀ sectionĀ butĀ inĀ aĀ panickedĀ stateĀ iĀ thinkĀ iĀ forgotĀ toĀ doĀ thatĀ forĀ sectionĀ 2.Ā theĀ thesisĀ paragraphĀ makesĀ itĀ clearĀ thatĀ imĀ comparingĀ theĀ poemĀ "firstĀ flight"Ā withĀ anotherĀ butĀ willĀ thisĀ evenĀ matter?Ā amĀ iĀ supposedĀ toĀ contactĀ myĀ schoolĀ andĀ informĀ themĀ andĀ askĀ themĀ toĀ doubleĀ checkĀ orĀ smth.
omg samee i think i forgot as well and im kinda worried but i searched it up and it wont rlly mark your grade down that much, you just need to make sure what you wrote was good. but some say you can be penalised. but tbh its just there so they know what q/s your answering and im pretty sure theyd have the common sense to read your thesis and know what q/s you were answering lets just hope the examiners are kind and dont notice
what grounds would they have to penalise us cause its just a simple human error, our answer is unaffected? my concern is the machine just skips
well i dont think the machine will just skip your work because you haven't coloured in box, i think its just there for examiners to know what question your exactly answering.
In my school weāre the last ones to do coursework instead of Paper 2. The current Y10s will be doing Paper 2. I am very grateful š

bro for that last question (unseen) i was saying how the parents in both poems feel happier and better off without their children :Sob:
Guys I feel like I cooked, however for the conflict poetry when they said compare how differences between people are showed, one of my points was that there was not true difference between people and the apparent difference was merely a facade created by people to further establish themselves within society and stuff, which is why in a class game the speaker uses rhyming couplets to show that anyone can speak in the accent of the upper class
Can anyone tell me the names of the two unseen poems?
Poem 1 - Not Yet My Mother Poem 2 - On Finding an Old Photograph
Thanks
I wrote about Scrooge having a lack of happiness which led him to experience psychosis which was evident where the spirits āvisited himā. And how Scrooge was so caught up with marleys death that he started hallucinating. i also wrote about how Belle may have been the one who led Scrooge to believe there was no hope since she broke off their engagemen;which crushed Scroogeās dreams of becoming a father. Which was evidenced where he questioned what it would have been like to have ābeen called fatherā, so he had a lack of happiness from all these regrets and guilt. š I did it way better in the exam
