English Literature AS (AQA SPEC B) LITB1: Aspects of Narrative May 2014 HELP!

Hi guys. Just wondering if I could get any help on revising for the Aspects of Narrative exam in May this year. I am studying Pride and Prejudice, The Kite Runner, poems by W.H. Auden and poems by Christina Rossetti. I feel ok on P&P and Auden if I have to do either for Section A (the "How is the story told in..." question and as my teacher calls it the "lively debate" question), however I am less confident on Rossetti and completely lost on Kite Runner! Anyone able to give me any tips for either on these two for both Section's A and B? Feel free if you have any tips on Auden and P&P, the more help the better! Thanks a lot guys :smile:

Which Rossetti poems are you studying? My teacher loves mindmap formats. Pick an aspect of narrative, find some quotes, then analyse. If it's analysis you're lacking then I could give you a wee summary of some of the poems :smile:

We've not actually started the Kite Runner, so I can't help you there :/

The poems we are studying are...
The Convent Threshold (HELP)
Cousin Kate (HELP)
Goblin Market
Jessie Cameron
Maude Clare (HELP)
A Royal Princess
In the Round Tower at Jhansi, June 8, 1857
An Apple-Gathering
Sister Maude

The ones I've put (HELP) on are the ones I need most help with. Open to points on any of the other poems, but these ones in particular I struggle with :/ Thanks!

Hey! I'm uploading notes on the whole of the LITB1 exam over *here* currently I'm uploading Tennyson stuff but after that I'll be putting up notes and essays on the Rossetti poems you've mentioned! :colondollar:

How is everyone doing with this subject. I honestly can't bring myself to revise it it's crazy. I just find it so difficult. Any tips? : )

I'm more worried about the last, big question because I'm not really sure what to include and draw on (I'm an external candidate).

Also, I don't feel like I'm the only person that's kind of already selected which text to do the in-depth questions on?

I got the York notes on The Kite Runner on a whim and looking through them recently, they're actually quite helpful for this exam (goes through all the criteria for the first question and highlights all the themes and stuff too).

I honestly haven't started revising for this subject because I honestly don't know how to unlike all my other subjects which i started rvising long ago. I am defiantly going to FAIL. Oh well. : (. How is everyone else finding this subject? : ) anyone else in the same position?
