In my school we use the structure -what how why- it makes writing so much easier you basically ask yourself “what is the writing telling the reader?”, “how does the writer use structure” via methods and quotations and then “why have they used this, what messages do they convey?” I hope this can help anyone struggling

Things I picked up on: - Establishing narrator as vulnerable, exposed in the beginning, then shifting the tone from one of anxiety and an almost nilhistic view to a hopeful tone with the introduction of Keckwick - So the immediate demise of Keckwick amplifies the sense of dread and adds weight to the narrator's predicament - Uses of rhetoric questions like "what use would that be" and "surely he must carry one" builds upon the narrators' uncertain and disorientated feelings of dread - Hyphens such as "sobbing - ... hard to decipher- but with horror I realized" emulates and alludes to the labored breathing of a distressed individual. (Can't think of the effect. Unfortunately) Quick question: If I made a comment of the phrase "sound that lifted my heart" foreshadowing the eventual catastrophe to come due to the narrator relying on his senses - "sound", which his senses are already proven to be unreliable, would that be language analysis or structure? Thanks!

[@franklesthepickle]

I believe that would be language analysis, as it does not comment on the effect it has on the reader (which is what structure is used for.)

The questions at 5:53 are good ones to ask when you read an extract.

[@cetvies-author-writer]

J'avais trouve votre serie GCSE quelque fois un peu lente, mais bien. mais votre A level tres interressant. i am surprised there are not more courses on A level on KZbin. so thank you even more for this series. in fact, my opinion is that so much more of these are needed, you might be on a gold mine in terms of audience's need. it is so very interesting and endlessly deep textual analysis. I can remember a teacher at university that once she finished explaining a text symbolically, historically, socially and psychoanalytical, she had written a classic just adjusting another.

Just transitions from French to English lmao

@@thegamingpunk6117 if you are into text analyses it is always good to have notions of latin. or linguistic or cultural cross-references corresponding.

How do I avoid panicking and freezing up in exams? I'm a pretty decent student in class, but I always end up writing nothing in exams :(

[@wilbius]

my maths teacher always tells me to do power poses and breathing in my chair. by power poses, i mean letting your chest be open and your body to be more spread out in a sense instead of hunching over as that makes you feel trapped and increases your anxiety. make sure you take deep breaths!!! as someone who is autistic and highly anxious as a result, these techniques have worked wonders for calming me in exams!!! ❤️ sending the best of wishes for your GCSEs!!!

[@lollyla7048]

Close your eyes and take small breaths in and out through your mouth. Try not to think of anything and just breathe out slowly. If you do practice any faith, for me as a Christian, I always say a little prayer before by saying, " God give me peace in my heart." It works ALL the time! Good luck in your exams. 🙏

[@barneyt4019]

don't overthink it. just go with the flow

[@AKA-Annoying]

Just don’t panic

[@naomiparsons462]

It can be difficult when you don't know where to start (for English and other essay subjects), so I would suggest using a starting sentence which you can adapt depending on the question.

Covered on page 10 of this AQA document: www.nusa.org.uk/data/uploads/english/files/Paper_1_Q3.PDF

[@naomiparsons462]

I would be incredibly grateful if someone could read and give feedback on my answer (before edits): The extract begins with the narrator deciding to turn around and go back, which instantly sparks tension because the reader knows that he must be in danger if he stays where he is, and the sudden change in direction is disorientating right from the start of the extract - similar to how the narrator feels on the walk back when he is surrounded by the uncertainty of the mist. This may suggest to the reader that worse is to come because since he is already afraid right at the beginning. Because the extract is in first person, the reader's knowledge is limited to the protagonist's own confusion surrounding the experience which makes the reader uneasy since they don't understand all that is going on. At the climax, the narrator stands in indecision while describing the sounds that he hears, which frustrates the reader because they don't want him to help the child, and his inaction contrasted with the detailed description of the action he hears emphasises this agonising desire for the narrator to move. By the end, the narrator is safe and the ending seems resolved, but the reader still has a lurking sense that something horrific has happened and is desperate to have their questions answered about the event.

[@tropicalland4552]

7/8 use more ambitious vocab

[@naomiparsons462]

Thanks you, I didn't realise ambitious vocab was one of the criteria. 😄 Also I realised I accidentally put the reader doesn't want him to help the child. Oops lol

[@naomiparsons462]

Thanks, I didn't think you had to cover the whole text - just multiple parts. Would I need to talk about the ending as well?

[@Your_mum2008]

@@naomiparsons462 perhaps...our teacher suggests its better to use the start, middle and end, since its a better gaurantee to get a higher grade....
