Probably Unrelated Incidents or Search for my Tongue


I actually kind of hope it's unrelated incidents. I am so worried about this exam because I have only done two exam papers and only one in the time period we are supposed to. If that wasn't enough, I have zero practice on writing to describe which is what I think I might go for, and I havn't even revised all my poems :s-smilie: I don't really know why I do this to myself :|

Btw, does anyone have any idea if writing to explain and advise can sound like writing to persuade/argue?

Same.

I don't htink they should sound like persuade or argue. Explain may do because you are putting your point across.

Can someone help? How would you anwser

Compare the ways the poet reveals feelings about a place in 'Nothing's Changed' with the ways another poet reveals feelings about a place or places in one other poem?

Thanks and Good Luck!

Yeah, the explain option can sound a lot like argue/persuade but that doesn't matter...just remember that you're explaining something that happened in detail and aslong as you do that, youll pick up marks.

So remember rhetorical questions and what not are still allowed.

My cousin compared Limbo to Nothing's changed and he got an A....I know Two Scavengers and Nothing's Changed would be a good one though.
