AQA A-Level English Literature B Paper 2 (7716/2) - 8th June 2023 [Exam Chat]

Does anyone know what the section B question was for the Handmaids Tale last year, I know it was something to do with religious oppression but ive forgotten the exact wording?

if you do aqa - elements of social and political protest writing it was : ‘In Gilead, religion is used as the most effective method of control.’

omg someone else doing Harvest, so am I and i hate it, i’m just hoping the section b questions are good so i can just do it for sec C, there’s just not many resources online for it and i find it so hard to talk about sometimes. I’m hoping there might be a section C question on Punishment maybe as that’d be good.

hiya!
im doing blake, handmaids tale, and kite runner. my paper 1 was othello, keats, and death of a salesman- i knew repuattion was gonna come up because it hadnt before but i chose the women question. for THT they havent (i dont think) done anything on Offred, Luke, the aunts, class or identity. im not sure about kite runner because its not my favourite text (lowkey so predictable and unsatisfactory with the ending) but for blake i think revising nature, society, poverty and children is good for just an overview of any questions that could come up.

hoping the unseen is prose though!!!!

Yes I thought something either directly relating to Offred as a character could come up for THT or about the Aunts and how women can be oppressors maybe, I thought something on nature could come up for Blake as it hasn’t come up yet and its quite a key theme!

if nature does come up, what poems do we talk about? I'm more confident on the oppressive side of Blake

the echoing green is a MUST, the schoolboy, the lamb, the garden of love, nurses song.

theyre just the poems im most familiar with in terms of nature, though there are others like my pretty rose tree.

im honestly surprised it hasn' come up given its so central to his poetry. do you do KR too?

can someone please help me on how to write the unseen crime extract answers. We have m never properly been taught how to write these. what exactly do i include in these essays?
