AQA- English Literature at AS Level, Literature B

Of course

Well, I'm hoping to be doing it for section B, so I really need to know about the harder things like narrative gaps and setting. Because I think if character names came up I'd be pretty safe.

Anything you would like to know I've got loads on auden!

please please do! I'm studying Tennyson, Gatsby and Enduring Love

do you have an email? as I have no clue how to attach them will email them to you tomorrow!

ah okay Setting's good for Gatsby, but the important thing to remember is that it encompasses time as well as place. The entire novel is set in the 1920s, so of course all the locations featured are lavish and beautiful.

Gatsby's house - gorgeous, enormous, yet also somewhat empty; the reader connects with Gatsby's loneliness. Basically, his house is the pinnacle of life in the Roaring Twenties - it symbolises the American Dream, his reinvention, and his aspirations with regards to Daisy.

The hotel room (ch7) - again engages with the frivolity of the era; they're wealthy enough to hire out numerous rooms.

Valley of Ashes - symbolises the underside to wealth, the physical corruption perhaps?

Narrative gaps:

the entire narrative is non-linear, so it's hard to notice where information is missing. Nick is a subjective narrator, although he claims to be objective - pretty much from the first page, we can tell that he's biased towards Gatsby, and enjoys romanticising him etc. Therefore, all the unrefined, uglier details of his past are suppressed - for example, the opening of chapter 4, and quickly replaced with details that further present Gatsby in a positive light.

I think that's the most important points for those two - is there anything else? This is actually really good revision
Do you have any notes for 1st September, If I Could Tell You, O Where Are You Going etc?

Haha no worries it's [email protected]

Sorry for the delay
Having to write them up again because they're not on this computer. Sending them to you question by question now - i've just emailed you the first part of my Section A.

That's brilliant. I struggle to write with such fluency when I'm in an exam. So I can't express what I want to without sounding a total goon. I need a while to prepare and arrange my sentences. Seems that you don't have that problem!!!! That's a fantastic essay.

Haha no worries it's [email protected]

That's brilliant thanks! What kind of notes do you need? Form structure language, or just some general notes of the poems? I just wanna know so i dont type out loads of stuff that you already have.

Aww, thank-you.
Just finished writing the second part, so that is coming your way now as well.

ahh, *chapter 6, sorry! (gaps in narrative)

ermm, yeah basically any notes at all would be welcome! I have no idea what's going on etc

Aww, thank-you.

Can PM anyone Great Gatsby notes, I took that exam last year.

Would appreciate some help on Pardoner's Tale, Chaucer. But can exchange notes on Bloody Chamber and Wuthering Heights. Got a lot of those.

Of course
