I am predicted an A but i got 38/40 in courseworks and want an A* hopefully the potery can help me achieve this as well

Poetry is much more lenient in terms of grade boundaries so you should do well.

I got 40/40 for the coursework, but my teacher said if I get very high Bs in the exams I'll still get an A* ://

I thought the exam today was okay, so hopefully everyone does well!

how does that equate because isn't unit 1 45% and unit 2 is 30% so coursework (25% holds little weight)

Wow. No way. I got 35/40. What do I need to get in the exams to get an A* overall ? I usually get A and sometimes A*s for the texts and for poetry I've consistently gotten A*s.

For OMAM what did everyone say about the extract?

I said that Steinbeck uses a theme of man's relationship with nature throughout his writing and in the extract the nature that was described could be a metaphor for George and how he was feeling for example 'leaves rustled' could show how we was restless and made the reader apprehensive as to what he was going to do next. I said how 'the evening' brought darkness and an end to the day and this could foreshadow the end to Lennie's life and the light and hope being taken away from their dream. And I mentioned how the speech structure was set so that George constantly repeated what Lennie said so the reader was reminded of their close relationship and how they have always been presented as a pair and tension is created in the build up because it left the reader questioning what will happen when the pair are split. I just left no time for the part b and didn't mention context enough so messed that up really

I'm studying Of Mice an Men and An Inspector Calls and for poetry I'm doing the relationships cluster.
I heard that it is likely that To His Coy Mistress or In Paris With You or Sister Maude will come up for poetry.

I really need predictions for OMAM and AIC. I'm not confident in all of English lit but the poetry is a little better than the novel and play and I got an A* in my coursework so it shouldn't be too bad.

I predict that a question about Sheila and Geralds relationship will come up, or you could choose to do conflict. Also for Of Mice and Men, i predict that ssomething about the build up of lennies death will come and about the dreams of characters. Tell me if im right. Good luck im the exam. P.S dont stick to my predictions because they are predictions after all, anyhing could come up.

did anybody do an inspector calls : gerald and Sheila question and to kill a mockingbird? what points did you make

I put about how its male dominated as her father tries to initiate it to better himself however sheila becomes more assertive as she forces gerald to confess to eva which is a role switch and he becomes weak and vunerable when admitting his feelings then it switches back to the start after they find out the inspectors fake as he convinces her to forget about it , Priestley does it to show capitalist are going to keep overruling if you dont stand up and be responsible and it links to ouspenkys cyclic theory
