i mean, you could use 'this portrays' or 'this functions to provide an insight into....'

journeys end caught me off guard a bit as both questions were themes and there was no character or relationship question but i chose the bravery one and thought it was quite good

Could someone please tell me the consequences of not writing "part a" and "part b" before you've began writing them in your part 1 response on GCSE Edexcel English Literature paper 1?

it should not be too big of a deal, the examiner should recognise two different points relating to two different questions, although i don’t know exactly if you have to write in part a and b, you should be fine!

i wouldn’t assume there would be a consequence as long as there was a line gap between both of part a and b i’m sure the examiner will know what is what

If a big line gap isn't present but a nomal line gap that is typically used between responses is, would the difference in points between part a and b due to the questions for each make it clear enough for the examiner?

i’m sure it should be clear as part b is about a different thing to part a so the examiner should be able to understand when you began talking about power in the play

Ahoy! How did it go? I do those two plays too!

Ahoy! I hadn't prepared for the Macbeth theme Power, but actually I found that my points that I had previously thought about and planned for other themes fitted pretty well into it. I think the Macbeth extract was not too awful but not particularly generous either - were we supposed to include structure points in Qa? I didn't at all, and focused on the methods of manipulation, like questioning his masculinity, making him feel guilty - that kind of thing. I had also not prepared for either of the Journey's End themes, because I was so sure that one of the options would be a character or relationship! I ended up picking Bravery, and I feel like my first point was pretty strong but not so much the second.
Also I suck at managing my timings, so for the Journey's End one, I wrote a massive introduction that I had pre-prepared, with loads of context (I was pretty proud of it actually) and then only had time for two main paragraphs before I realised that I only had 20 minutes to write my Macbeth Qb... It is annoying, because I actually had some pretty solid point ideas for Power in Macbeth, and Bravery in JE, but I think that my rubbish time management and wasting time with over-planning definitely got in the way! I think the fact I wrote only 2 main paragraphs of JE, wrote my Macbeth Qb in such a frantic rush, and had no time to re-read and check my answers could be a big problem though... I'm just glad it's behind me though! I am glad to not have to think about Macbeth anymore, but I think I will kind of miss Journey's End! I really like it, the characters are so well written and it is just great.
How did you find it, and which Journey's End question did you pick?
Oops this is a very long reply, my bad...

i agree the fact that there was no character or relationship question for JE confused me too but i also picked bravery and thought everything went fine

For Macbeth I ended up including context about the daemonologie book but I can't remember how I included it 😭 and for AIC I started talking about how bourgeoise families would care more abt reputation and honour instead of raising their children w the correct morals and upbringing
