A* essay examples for GCSE English Literature?

Does anyone know where to find essay examples that are A* standard?
Or if anyone has any essays they wouldn't mind sending to me?

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

The things I'm studying are
Lord of the Flies
Of Mice and Men
Carol Ann Dufffy
An Inspector Calls


Hi, I'm in my AS year now but I got A*s for English last year, and of those I studied LOTF and Duffy for my exam and Inspector for my coursework.
I did most of the lotf stuff by hand but I still have some things on my computer so I can send you them if you want? I'm not sure exactly what grade they would have got but probably around the A* mark.
I don't have any essays for Duffy but I do have notes, would you like them too?
If you're doing Inspector as an exam it won't be very helpful but I got full marks for my coursework so if it's relevant I could send you that.

Yes please, that would be very helpful :smile:
I don't mind if they're handwritten - I'd be grateful for whatever an A* student sent me :biggrin:

I've private messaged you the essays :smile: Sorry, I can't send you any of the handwritten ones as our scanner doesn't work :/ Hopefully the ones I've sent will be useful though :smile:

I remember that for my revision for LOTF I did essay plans for possible questions - your teacher might've told you what hasn't come up yet and is likely to so definitely do a few plans around those ones (and maybe the older ones if they have to start repeating questions by this point). One of the plans that I'd made ended up coming up in one of the questions so I already had a good idea of how to structure my essay and what was important to say/important quotes!

Hey, would you mind asking one of the people I've sent them to above as I have a horrendous number of documents on my computer and I can't be bothered to find them all again :tongue:
Let them know it's fine with me, they should be able to forward my message to you from their inbox :smile:
Haha, well I've got my certificates so I don't really mind :P

Carol Ann Duffy..

would you mind sending all of them though?
I really really want to see how an A* essay looks like in comparison to the lower grade essays and what type of things I need to improve on..

Thanks in Advance!:tongue:
Could anyone possibly forward those documents to me? I'm studying the same texts, so they'll be quite convenient for me. Thanks
