for character and voice what could you compare "Give" with, for what themes?


If this comes up I'll probably compare it with Hunchback or Clown Punk. All are characters that are isolated/alone in some way.
anyone up for revision? (relationships cluster)

Does anyone know if AQA is Changing the poetry exam for the next year 11s??

Yeah I think they are, all my teacher told us is that they are not allowed to have their anthology in the exam and have to memorise the poems and annotations
I really hope its Charge of the Light Brigade

So I guess I don't need to revise for them?

You could always use those poems to compare to, but they will never be asked in a higher paper for example, if 'next to of course god america i' comes up, you could still link it to flag

After some research I've found that your idea about the poems coming up in the higher paper is incorrect. Information from AQA clearly states that any of the 15 poems can now be chosen for any tier of paper.http://filestore.aqa.org.uk/subjects/AQA-W-ENGLIT-CHANGES.PDF
Is there any predictions that Belfast confetti is coming up?

Intro, structure,
Form, language, writers ideas and themes and how they're portrayed, and audience. Then a conclusion, good luck!
It will be on Flag and Falling Leaves. Revise those!!!!!
we were also told it would be curley! My teachers are all set on it being Medusa as apparently that's never come up, neither has hunchback in the park? at least not recently. good luck!
If it helps anyone, Right Word and Poppies came up.

So am I ! The ones that haven't come up yet are To His Coy Mistress, In Paris With You & Brothers


Ahaha congrats your predictions were correct! I was predicting THCM as well but thought it could also be Quickdraw or Praise Song For My Mother as those hadn't come up either...which question did you choose and how do you think it went? :smile:
