[appleali]

i dont think they will specify a poem if there is no extract lol

 

[la_sportive]

if its a prufrock or rhapsody specified with no extract im cooked

Nah Eliot's chill tbh live laugh love

 

[weeze]

i dont think they will specify a poem if there is no extract lol

it would genuinely be SO evil but i have such a good feeling that we are going to get a really easy paper 1 and really difficult paper 2

for mod A hagseed tempest i did 2 large bodies with comparison of both texts and 4 quotes in each

for mod B ts eliot i did 3 paragraphs with 3 pieces of evidence and 2 poems in each paragraph but analysed 3 poems total so like
poem 1 & 2
poem 2 & 3
poem 3 & 1

 

[genenian]

3 evidence each or total

each
and for larger ones like 5 each

 

[lyingsalsa]

each
and for larger ones like 5 each

yeah i mean 3-5 is probably right. 3 each with good evidence would be pretty standard to get out in a 40 min essay i would say

poem 2 & 3

How did that work out? I rarely hear of people doing only 2 body paragraphs, but if it worked out then that's all that matters.

poem 2 & 3
poem 3 & 1

same as me except i did 2 poems in each with 4 poems total, i had like 5 quotes per para

poem 1 and 2
poem 3 and 4
poem 1 and 4

 

[appleali]

also for mod a i did 4 paragraphs,
idea 1 tempest
idea 1 hagseed

idea 2 tempest
idea 2 hagseed

each with around 3-5 quotes

 

[radagastthebrown]

also for mod a i did 4 paragraphs,
idea 1 tempest
idea 1 hagseed

idea 2 tempest
idea 2 hagseed

each with around 3-5 quotes

Wow, this is exactly what I do too! Except the ideas tend to be ones that link up well (like a problem/solution). E.g. idea 1 is imprisonment, idea 2 is freedom

yep nice the only problem i found is that my ideas (power of theatre and revenge vs hope) sometimes don’t link with given extract questions
although i think it’s unlikely because they’ve already done it twice

 

[weeze]

at my school they wanted us to do two body paragraph each is really fat and compares both texts throughout idk they said structurally its more complex

so only 2 themes overall that contributes to one overarching theme like the transformative power of the arts or something

 

[DoubleTrj]

Any good trial papers for paper 1 someone can recommend?

 

[bellyballs]

guys mod c by deduction should only be 15/5 or 20... last year 12/8 and they've done 10/10 twice soooo i dont think we need a reflection cause if its a 15/5 the 5 would be the stimulus
