Anyone know good phrases/words to include in Of Mice & Men/ Animal Farm Eng Lit?

Social superiority

Thanks mate. What does it mean and where can you use it?

Hey sorry for late reply.
Well it is one's social standing like class and race etc It can be used when talking about Curly and his wife and how that is there upper hand. For example (presuming you have read the book) when Curly`s wife enters crook´s little house and they all immediately reject her leading to her insulting him through her superior social standing knowing that in 1930's America she is only one above the black man in society. Sorry for vague response I am tired and this is rushed. Hope I helped a little.

microcosm, which mean exploring a big idea through a small thing. Steinbeck was exploring (for example) racism through Crooks. Racism is something big but crooks is small as he is just a character in a novella. So you could say: Steinbeck uses crooks as a microcosm by which exploring racism in the outlook of the society of the great depression.

thank you indeed ! are you studying for your gcse's?

yes i am XD, although, i havent been revising particularily hard but i got 3 weeks left... need to get straight A's, WBU?

yeah i've got mine as well. I use mrbruff for revising. You heard of him?

yes i've heard of him, yet i don't see how he helps... he just tells me stuff i already know but i never seem to get better using him i think i will get an A* in LIt though, what are you hoping for?

Yeah A*/A aswell. Is your exam board Edexcel or AQA?

yeas or A... same difference to be honest lol and my exam board is AQA, you?

Edexcel

easy?

yeah but we have to annotate poems which is quite boring. what about AQA?

yeah same wid AQA. But i don't anotate the whole poem with points that i wont even use... thats a waste of time. Instead, i make a very perceptive comment on each of the features of the poem including imagery, structure and language... just 1 point on each- a very good point. So u know exactly what to write on the exam and not have to choose between various un-perceptive points

Yeah that's quite good actually. What do you wish to study in college
