Any chance you could do some videos on leave taking? I find your videos so useful

[@insertsense]

Once again, you completely eclipse my actual English teacher. Also, thank you for your help on R&J and J&H, I've never been confident in an exam until literature paper one. All the stuff you said fit perfectly, even though the questions were different.

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

Wow, thank you!

[@somebodyontheinternet69]

Mr Salles, I have a question. In my Literature paper 1 exam, on Jekyll and Hyde, I didn't use the extract because I thought that I had much better quotes to use from the rest of the novel after watching your video on it. I wrote some really good points, but will I get capped at half marks because I didn't talk about the extract?

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

It is possible. Highly probable that the examiner will not notice. If they do, they’ll refer to a senior examiner, who will decide. It is unlikely

[@dbigd584]

Yeah I did basically the same. I mentioned like 1 quote for romeo and juluet from the extract and like 2 from the extract for jekyll and hyde. If I only mentioned them a little does this satisfy the examiners need to talk about the extract?

[@SuryanshuChatterjee]

Dear Mr Salles, For the Tilf problem, I tried breaking it up into small paragraphs but I still didn’t receive the same high quality feedback like you did for each paragraph regarding the Sheila essay you posted on Substack?

[@itzlando130]

You saved my english exams last year thank you 🙏

[@mylessmith1945]

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

That's great!

[@dubious7147]

[@ryanatfield9910]

Hi, I do eduqas and it was jack so thanks very much

[@a_2509]

Mr salles, what should I use for quotes for these, can you make another vid with quotes for each point?

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

Check out the link in the video to my Substack, which has all the quotes

[@SupMate-p9s]

could you make an animal farm one?(its over if you dont)

[@waLl1s1]

this guy is making me cook i love this guy mahn

[@wethan9569]

lol thanks sir, my teacher is so bad that I can’t survive 😅

[@Undead-wq4vq]

If I just say what happens in the novel instead of actually referring to quotes, will I still get the same marks if I had still used quotes??

[@SuryanshuChatterjee]

Thanks ❤

[@videomotioner69420]

Can you do love and relationships predicition please?

[@richarlisongoat1476]

Are you going to do an animal farm prediction?

[@gagnastabobuk]

Thank you

[@SuryanshuChatterjee]

Thanks

[@yexo303]

We will need 'judicious' quotations for the 9 though!

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

No, you don’t, you’ve just need judicious references, and that means anything that you say happens in the text. It is judicious if its strongly backs up your argument.

[@yexo303]

​@@MrSallesTeachesEnglishAh, I didn't know that. thanks very much for the advice! 😊

[@karshanapandi901]

Wasn’t jack on 2020 and human nature was on 2017, do you think it would be likely that they would repeat the questions in again so soon? (Just a genuine question)

[@chaewon6267]

They might rephrase it and it could be Jack because he hasn’t come up in a while. They usually do a character and it won’t be someone like Roger because not everyone can do him. For example this year It was difficulties faced by Juliet and another year it was Juliet as a character with strong emotions which is very similar

[@bianca.phoenix]

Hi Sir, please can you do one for Animal Farm? Thank you!

[@solarradar2.044]

Do you need a thesis or can you include in your 1st point

[@chaewon6267]

You need a thesis

[@SuryanshuChatterjee]

Dear Mr Salles, can I please send you an essay I wrote on the effects of greed in a Christmas carol? I want you to mark it for me please.

[@SuryanshuChatterjee]

Dear Mr Salles, if I send you my AIC essay about Sheila tomorrow, when do you think it will be ready to be put on Substack? No pressure sir!

[@MrSallesTeachesEnglish]

I am filming tomorrow, but probably Sunday!

@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish I wrote an essay on greed in A Christmas Carol (AQA Question) Starting with this extract, explore how Dickens presents the effects of greed in A Christmas Carol. Write about: • how Dickens presents the effects of greed in this extract • how Dickens presents the effects of greed in the novel as a whole. Turn over for the next question [30 marks] Here's my essay: Dickens manifests the effects of greed in this extract through his physical appearance. Although the following scene shows Scrooge in the “prime of his life”, his face has begun to show “signs of care and avarice” as greed has taken a toll on his physical appearance. This is also reinforced through the “eager, greedy, restless motion” of his eyes which highlights how the deterioration of his appearance is a direct consequence of Scrooge’s fixation with wealth. The use of triplets foreshadows his break up with Belle as she strongly believes that she has been replaced by his greed for a “golden idol”. Dickens may have used this phrase to deter his wealthy Victorian readership from being greedy, by attempting to scare them with the physical side effects that greed will have. The Victorians, most of whom followed a strict Christian set of rules and commands, believed greed to be a sin. Thus, this manifestation of Scrooge's greed could be seen as a punishment from God for being greedy. For example, his former partner, Jacob Marley has been visibly punished for his avarice by having to drag his money boxes on chains for eternity. Therefore, Dickens here attempts to discourage his readers from being greedy in order to shun the negative repercussions it can have on one’s fate. Dickens also presents the effects of greed in this extract through the destruction of his relationship with Belle. She tells Scrooge that she is leaving him due to his “eager” and “greedy” attitude towards money. She calls money his ‘idol’ suggesting that he not only loves it but worships it as a false god. Dickens suggests that financial wealth will lead to a poverty of love. Belle is surrounded both by a doting husband and loving children whereas Scrooge is ‘quite alone in the world’. This depiction of a lonely Scrooge contrasts with the happiness of Belle’s family as she leaves him wishing him happiness ‘in the life you have chosen’. This links back to the idea of the upper class people like Scrooge during the Victorian era who believed that greed only affected the lower classes. However, when Belle says "I have seen all your nobler aspirations fall off one by one, until the master-passion, Gain, encompasses you”, Dickens suggests how greed is so damaging that it is not only harmful to the lower classes, but also to the rich. Therefore, we understand he is driven by a negative emotion, fear, that has erased all his positive feelings and made him single-minded in his pursuit of wealth. He says there’s nothing “so hard as poverty” so it’s the fear of poverty that has driven him to greed and selfishness which in turn has meant that Belle has released him. Earlier in the novella, Dickens explores the key idea of avarice through Scrooge’s home. Scrooge lives in a building that he inherited from Marley and so costs him nothing. He also refuses to burn candles because ‘darkness is cheap’, eat anything more costly than ‘gruel’ or use more than a ‘handful of fuel’. The details of the setting convey the way that Scrooge is obsessed with holding on to money for no good reason. This results in him facing the negative consequences for his greed as we witness ‘cash-boxes, keys, padlocks, ledgers, deeds, and heavy purses wrought in steel’ as Marley’s Ghost’s chain symbolises his avaricious behaviour that he has made himself in life. Dickens uses this imagery to show how greed can imprison a person and prevent them from enjoying the true pleasures of life, such as love, family, and friendship. He also warns his readers that greed can have dire consequences for their afterlife, as Marley's Ghost is doomed to wander the earth in agony and remorse. Therefore, Marley appears as a ghost to Scrooge to persuade him to stop his sin of greed, and break the “chain” of sin he has “forged in life”. Would you mind putting this on your Substack please along with feedback and a comparison with Tilf.io just like you did for my Sheila essay? Thanks so much sir!!!

Only if it is linked to Shakespeare’s ideas

@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish. I said it emphasises her desperation to be ride of her guilt and it highlights how she has become overwhelmed with guilt and then I linked that to a little water clears us of this deed

[@Miracle4631-k6m]

also sir I linked one of your ideas to lady Macbeth saying unsex me here I said the fact that she needs to remove her feminine traits to be full of direst cruelty equates masculinity to cruelty and it highlights how women had no power in this patriarchal society and had to turn to heinous and sinful methods to attain power
