[@jess-r1b]

@@JustinYDaily just talk about context and how women are mistreated and treated as objects regardless of their class or social status. She is taken advantaged of by eric, and gerald. She is mistreated and thrown out her workplace by mr b rejected by mrs b because of her missuing the birling name. Talk about like how other characters misstreat eva smith. Also talk about how preiestley is like a mouth peice for women of that class. And mr b almosts rejects her gender by saying 'girls of that class' she is beind rude. Mr b calls working class 'keeping labour costs down' he refers to them as labour, whoch shows he sees eva smith as an object, and something inhuman sorry i misspelled alot i hope this helps good luckk xx

Hello Barbara. I always wanted to follow your presentation on KZbin. Actually you are very talented young lady and thank you for your videos. I would like to highlighted some aspects if that could be improved. Regarding the use of writing colours please, try to use black and red marker as others colours tend to be dull. I would like to suggest if you should use electronic presentation instead. Thank you, I am one of your learners.

You can also use this quote for the Inspector "men will not learn that lesson then they will be taught it in fire , blood and anguish". I think this quote is referring to ww1 and how deep class divisions would lose their value at that time as people of all classes would be desperate in supporting the war effort instead of securing class divisions

in english as a first language igcse, if the question says for example begin your letter with 'dear sir', or 'respected sir', are we not supposed to write the format and directly start off with 'dear sir', or are we supposed to write the format including the date address etc first and then start off with 'dear sir'

There are no quotes for Eva lad only references

Eva does not speak in the play - that is one point - could be used in the opening Then talk about how everyone talks about her e.g a good sport -> sport shows he sees her as a hobby Or how everyone calls her pretty etc Context would be gender, class,

Where are the downloads to the notes? i cant seem to find them

[@washyuk]

just done it about inspector change in society

[@yukimodz9127]

Video is good. But I’d say the quotes are a bit vague. For example, for Mr Birling you cut out the repetition of ‘absolutely unsinkable’ which people could talk about that technique in the exam. Also for Sheila the cheap labour quote. You didn’t say ‘, they’re people’ right after it which shows she understands what she’s saying. So when I look at ur quotes I have to search around for the full thing to see if u missed anything else
