GCSE English Literature Study Group 2023-2024

Personally I would say, my last duchess, ozymandias, remains, war photographer, exposure and maybe charge of the light brigade or emigree

personally, kamikaze is the best poem as it links to so many themes that could come up in the exam

Hello, can someone recommend me any revision websites for revising eng lit?

Glow up your grades youtube channel I swear by, it's epic. Also PMT and GetRevising (from TSR) has helpful analysis too.

Hi can someone tell me if three quotes are enough for comparing poems, and how to structure poem essays ?

Thank you so much!!!! But I’m always confused about the themes 😭 hope you can help me with that 🙏

No worries! Themes are basically the main ideas in a text/poem - so for example in a christmas carol, a key theme is social responsibility which is a common topic that is explored in the novella.

So what I would suggest is reread each poem and notice the type of language or imagery which is constantly used throughout it - it could be death imagery (which would be a theme of death/loss) or use of metaphors in nature (which would be a theme of nature) or a common topic/issue that is explored such as culture or discrimination (which can be seen as a theme).

When you mention a theme in a paragraph, always link it to the question asked - for examplet, if the question asks you to compare a poem to another poem on the basis of war or love then make sure that everything you talk about in your essay is in relation to that. When you talk about a theme, you can relate it to context (so what happened in the poet's life that affected the topics explored in the poem) or give analysis based off a quote which is an opportunity to discuss language as well.
