If anyone thinks they might need this: 25 Language Devices: Defined & Explained! 1. Pathetic Fallacy Is when the weather or the atmosphere describes the mood. For example, when the weather is rainy people are sad and depressed 2nd example, the dark night could symbolise something supernatural like 3AM Satan etc… 2. Personification Is when a non-human is given human qualities. For example, the tree is waving to John as drives away. 3. Simile When you are comparing two things using ‘like’ or ‘as’ For example, his facial vision looked like a falcon’s eye 4. Metaphor Is when you are comparing two things with is or are Example He is an orc 5. Extended Metaphor Pick a metaphor and explain how --- > turn in to an extended metaphor Metaphor --- > Life is a rollercoaster. Now turning into extended metaphor add explanation so, Life is a rollercoaster you don’t know when you will be at the top or at the bottom, it will all happen in an instance, at the greatest heights you will be at the greatest heights and at times it will crash, but every day is never the same, just like in a turn in a Rolle coaster is never the same. 6. Oxymoron 2 opposite words side-by-side Example, the small giant 7. Juxtaposition You explain an oxymoron. The small giant tip-toing trying to reach the top shelf, however, his small arms and puny fingers prevented him from grabbing the bar of jam. 8. Symbolism Is when objects represent a meaning. For example, moon and the star represent Islam. 2nd Example, if you get a priest you will think someone died. In Macbeth the dagger links to death. 9. Semantic field Is where words are linked to an idea. For example, PPE, 2m and Hand Sanitiser, Head of Year link to COVID. 10. Irony Is when events in the text surprises the characters. Something not expected! Mr Birling offering a 1000. Scrooge changing his nature. 11. Rhetorical Question Question does not require an answer 12. Hyperbole Is when you hype, when over-exaggerating. I am going to eat the whole restaurant. 13. Assonance Is the repetition of the vowel sound. I am too cool for school. Oooooo 14. Alliteration Words in a row begin with the same letter. 15. Sibilance Is when words in a row have the s letter or the s sound Example: the snake was slowly hissing 16. Euphemism Is when you say something in an indirect manner. He is not with us anymore. 17. Emotive Language Is when the writer makes the reader feel emotional. By making them angry. 18. Onomatopoeia Words describe the sound Boom bang skirr pop 19. Ruel of 3 / Power of 3 / Triplets Words or phrases in a row describe something (3) The table is black, hard and wide 20. Facts/ Stats Uses evidence to support their facts. 50 % of the students prefer using email rather than social media . 21. Plosive Reptation of harsh sound Words such as 'P' 'D' 'B' 22. Zoomorphism Is when you give a person animal features. Example John barked at me / John shouted at me. 23. Opinion 24. Repetition Language Device and Structure. Is when the writer uses the words repletely to create an effect. Where is being repeated and why is that important 25. Noun, Verbs, Adjectives, Adverbs Structure Flashback - when you go back in time ,3 days ago etc.. Foreshadowing - when the writer gives clue about future ‘my heart was beating fast’ Zoom in - focus on one thing for example ‘pen’ , ‘specific character ‘ Zoom out - normally used to talk about setting Dialogue - when the character speak ‘hey there !’ New character New setting Change in tone Short sentence - to build up tense Long sentence - add details and slow down the narrative Short /long sentence - may show importance in both Shift in focus - talks about object then talks about another object for example ‘pen’ to ‘table’ Cyclical structure - similar stuff happening with beginning and ending Juxtaposition Extended metaphor Pace List Pov Overall tone Chronogical order Climax Repetition Links Mood , pathetic fallacy 1. Abhorrent/Heinous (means bad) 2. Euphoric/Jubilant (means happy) 3. Melancholy/Morose (means sad) 4. Indignant (means angry) 5. Swift/Rapid (means fast) 6. Colossal/Gargantuan (means big) 7. Minuscule/Microscopic (means small) 8. Bemused/Befuddled (means confused) 9. Astute/Shrewd (means smart) 10. Feeble/Decrepit (means weak) 11. Dash (means run) 12. Plunge (means jump - may not always fit so be careful how you use it) 13. Cordial (means nice) 14. Lackadaisical (means lazy) 15. Paradoxical/Outlandish (means strange)

If anyone wanted this I took the time to write it out (4:31): Ancient and wise, the bull swishes his tail in the ice cold refreshing water, creating zen like ripples upon its calm surface.

@@reginaphalangephalange6152 my teacher said it specifically has to be a descriptive or a narrative, not a mix

[@AngelDelight69]

​@@ifesjournal It can be a mix your not going to lose marks because you switch it up. As long as you can show most of it that it's a description a narrative is okay. You absolutely can make a description suggested by the image and then turn it into a narrative. In fact that image is just a guide you don't need to write specifically about the image but a description that is similar. The question mainly assess your ability to use a wide range of language and structure devices and your punctuation and grammar.

[@AngelDelight69]

​@@ifesjournal for example if the image is a random old man standing up you can write about any old man For example you could write about what he looks like What he is seeing What is happening around him What happened to him What he is feeling In fact I'd outright advise going astray from the picture but keeping it on topic

Hi, is there any chance that you could take a look at the answer i wrote to question 5 after revising from your videos? so the question was: write a short story starting with "suddenly, I heard it. It was coming from the side of the passage.- my answer was - Suddenly, I heard it. It was coming from the other side of the passage. The approaching footstep clatters resonated through the alleyway. I knew we had made an error. I knew we had misjudged it. I thought I knew everything. The passage was an infinite tunnel. A trap. Crisp rolls of banknotes flooded from Lara's pockets as she gasped for breath. I could still hear it. That dreadful sound of gunshots cascading through the distorted streets. The sound that haunted me, like a sinister shadow in the dark creeping up on me. A guilty conscience. We can still get out of this, I told myself. Lara was only a child, vulnerable to this kind of turmoil. I was not. I should never have trusted him. It all started from that primal instinct to protect those closest to you, but it spiralled out of control. A cacophony of bulky footsteps echoed from behind us. Tap. Tap. Tap. Then in front. Tap. Tap. Tap. That was the moment. The moment I knew it was over. Lara let out an innocent shriek of terror, as she was wrestled to the ground. A single tear cascaded down her delicate skin. Her baby blue eyes gazing back at me, pleading for help. Time seemed to last forever. I let out a desperate plea. My naïve belief that someone could get us out of this. We were in too deep. A reflection of my life dawned on me. How we only got involved because of the poverty. "Just deliver a few packages and you'll never have to worry about money again, think of your family." I remember a voice telling me. It was over. Metal cuffs digging into my wrists as they dragged me away- thanks if you have read this and I'd really appreciate it if you could give me some feedback :)

All pieces of narrative contain a description, so no.

I managed to get a 6 on my resit and I’m glad I don’t need to do this again, this whole subject gives me ptsd

[@Celeste_51]

Sir if you decide to write a story but don’t get to finish will you lose marks? We only get 45 minutes and I often find it hard to finish a full detailed story in that time, like the first half is fine but the second half becomes a bit rushed. So also do you think it is better to not finish fully or to have an ending but it’s a bit more obviously rushed then the beginning?

[@pblockguardian3646]

do the last question first then fella

I’m taking it a year early and my target is a 4 but in my mock I was 2 marks of a 5 so I really do wanna get that 5

[@mrpulse6387]

@@harrybrooks6124 why are you taking it a year early?

[@JackWeller]

Harry Brooks it’s a bit late, but did you get that grade 5? Most people in my school also took it early and the questions where really easy - but the grade boundaries where terrible.

@@pavandeepkhurana3998 question 1-4 was about the text that we were given (something about a dinosaur) then question five we could either write a description about a photo or describe what we think the future will be like in 200 years :)

How much should you write when doing a description

[@mrbruff]

Whatever you can achieve in 45 minutes (including planning and checking).

[@callumj2444]

Are mocks harder than the actual GCSE?

[@hasantariq869]

Tu Tu I think so but depends on GCSEs this year

[@huzafah]

Hi mr bruff would there be one thing you would consider doing in the language analysis questions that would immediately get you into Grade 7/8/9 territory.

[@iuliusconstantcornelio2018]

Nope. It's too subjective...

[@iuliusconstantcornelio2018]

Somebody could give you a 5, someone else could give you an 8, so...

Does anyone remember Question 5 this year trying to remember what I wrote.

are there any hard books you know that can really help someone write paragraphs like that end one?

[@nellyb.9340]

Dear Mr Bruff, is it alright to use informal vocabulary? Do we get the same marks or less than we would if we’d used formal vocabulary? If you have already answered this question previously I do apologise, perhaps you could create a “frequently asked questions” video. Thank you

sir can i embed the extract given to make a story?
