AS-Level English Literature OCR Exam

its not much about how many marks you lose its bout how many marks you gain ,you wouldn't lose a lot for that ,maybe,if youre lucky ,even nothing beause they d know you got the right idea.

10 out of the 25 marks are for context, but when you link to other poems that accounts for most of it because you're contextualising his work.. But yeah you were supposed to mention a bit of context in a couple of paragraphs oh well, no use worrying now

Getting a bit concerned seeing everyone mentioning context for yeats... I thought you just had to link it to three other poems, no context needed?!

that exam was ridiculously hard!! second coming was ok but dorian gray soooo difficult, did anyone else so the lord henry and dorian q? and what did u say? cos i totally bullsh**ted!

Nope no context needed at all, only if it pushes forward your answers and is relevant, but cross linking is sufficient for A03 marks

How many marks lost for forgetting to mention language in prose section? Can't believe I did!

do you mean you only talked about context?

do you mean you only talked about context?

If language means looking at a word and saying "Bronte used this adjectival phrase to...." then I didn't do that. I did things like: "Jane says......thus shows....."

Yh I did this one - bit weird a first but managed to get my points in I mentioned:
-intro on Faust setting in relation to qu
-yellow book - influence
-epigrams spoken word - tempter influence
-sibyl and how she made him a victim n Dorian a tempter (duality of DG an sibyl and of lord Henry and issacs as tempters!!
ending of novel and how dorian die contrast to lord Henry being a victim!!
Wbu??

I just talked about Jane Just mentioned her hunger, rebllion and rage. Your points sound good!

How many marks would I lose for not mentioning language at all in the prose section? I mentioned all the other AOs apart from structure

Ohhh was it referring to the book as a whole then? Aha thanks but hopefully they were valid

I think it takes you down a band, imagery is most important though!

Don be confused - AO3 is critic (not in poetry) and AO4 is context!!!

ooh thats good i like the sibyl stuff, im sure u did well!!
well i rambled a bit but said henry's epigrams, the yellow book, fact that dorian tells both bastil and henry that they are his best friend patronising them, the way basil tells D "You have a good influence" meaning that he becomes the influencor rather than one being influenced, how henry dissapears from novel meaning he is victim of wilde's devices

so worried though found them both hard questions!! wbu for second coming? xx

Didn't mention that either What exactly do you mean by imagery though?

Quotes that create imagery :P Likeeee phrases or words that create a certain impression for the poem and perhaps links its theme which is why it is an image! For example "soldiers in line.. in white tunics" you could describe the image that is created by the white tunics. Get it?
