in my ppe i only did 2 paragraphs for this question and got 7/8 my paragraph structure was find similarity (can be simple) between 2 poems quotes + explain shortly their effect reader response for 1 of them use writer's tone/purpose (what you think they're writing for e.g. to show importance of love) to explain how the presentation of the points are different in the poems

Alan bold describes Autumn in a negative light, illustrating that it is an 'experienced robber' of the 'green stuff', suggesting that the poet doesn't like the fact that it takes the leaves of trees. The adjective 'experienced' in the simile used in 'like an experienced robber' presents Autumn as something that regularly takes away the leaves, implying that the poet does not like this. The noun 'robber' is a personification, depicting Autumn as someone that takes the leaves that aren't really theirs. Comparatively, Billy Collins' poem is about Spring (not Autumn like the last poem). The poet describes spring with the superlative 'perfect', portraying spring as the best season. Furthermore, the poet describes the 'warm intermittent breeze', which illustrates a breeze that is soothing from the adjective 'warm'. The noun 'breeze' demonstrates that it is a light wind that isn't harsh: it is able to calm you. Through this, Collins is able to successfully illustrate that they believe spring is the best season. this was done in 5 mins, but I'm just not sure if this would be near the top of the mark scheme? (for 2017 aqa unseen)

[@alexj1295]

good analysis but limited comparison, i'd guess 6/8

[@edgarboekdrukker5429]

@@alexj1295 Alan bold describes the sky of Autumn as being 'red with a quiet rage'. The colour 'red' and the noun 'rage' creates imagery of the Earth being angry that Autumn has arrived, 'cunningly' taking away the leaves like a 'robber'. Comparatively, the poet of 'Today' describes spring as being 'blue and white', which are colours symbolising purity (from the white) and tranquillity (from the blue). As a result, the poet of 'Today' presents Spring as calming and soothing, whilst the poet of 'Autumn' presents autumn as menacing and unforgiving of what it takes. right, if I added this, would it bump it up a bit?

idk id say your analysis could be developed but for 5 minutes off the top of your head its good, in the exam youd probably think of a better analysis after the flow of writing and stuff.

[@ahmed-music-prod]

im a student but i dont think you made a clear difference. I dont think one being autumn and one being spring is enough. I would have explained how one is supporting weather and seasons and the other is condemning it

Hi Sir in Macbeth will I be penalised by the examiners if I make a link to Shakespeare's poem involving Lucrece and Tarquin, and how this could link to Macbeth seeing murder as attractive?It is in your revision guide but I would just like to double check

[@Rihanna1234-h3d]

Wait could you explain this more ?

[@edithp5758]

@Rihanna 1245 Tarquin is a Roman prince I think who shakespeare wrote a poem about he basically rapes someone and Macbeth talks about him while on his way to kill Duncan. I would argue shakespeare is making the regicide seem even more horrible but you could also say he's making it attractive I guess

Hi sir, will they take our Macbeth essay and give us the unseen separately like in paper 1, also how long should we spend on Macbeth? On a separate note, I only managed to put 2 quotes in for my acc essay (one from extract and one from elsewhere) but I linked them together and elsewhere in the play, a bit of context (less than I'd liked) but I managed to write about 2 and a half pages on it. Is it a huge problem because I didn't use more quotes, I analysed both quotes to the best I could with the help of your videos (obviously) but even still, rushed over the conclusion and didn't have time to check over my work. Is it a huge problem that would force the examiners to downgrade me?
