@iblikecole91677 жыл бұрын
+Ben Nguyen That is terrible advice. Even if you disregard this video, there are plenty of exam advice advocating the use of the author and his/her life to illuminate the text. One credible example, is inthinking's paper 2 tips, point 5 clearly shows that we need to include points from the authors life. I'm sorry, but context is extremely important, especially with regards to the author. In thinking : www.thinkib.net/englishalanglit/page/2884/tips

I don't remember if you did physics and/or chem, but are you thinking of making a video with some neat tricks for those two? Also, I wholeheartedly agree with you, people overcomplicate the Paper 2. To be honest, it is kind of fun to write a paper two, as you get a question and you are forced to be in the classroom for 2 hours contemplating it, you can end up with some surprisingly good answers and thoughts. Personally, while I also feel the pressure now that it is an actual exam, I feel like people should be a little more focused on coming up with good answers(while dragging in stylistic devices).

I find it hard to comment on the context of the author in relation with the texts. I know the relation, however I am having trouble writing a paragraph on it. Could you just dedicate a whole paragraph on how the background of the author is sigificant to the content of the text (excluding the guiding questions)??
@iblikecole91676 жыл бұрын
Hmmm, I don't think that's a good idea if it doesn't have any relation to the guiding questions. However, context of the author always influences a text, usually hitting parts like language, style of writing, characters chosen etc. and usually the questions ask about this. so id recommend to research more on your author if you're having trouble finding information that connects to the questions.
