My prediction is 'To His Coy Mistress' for the higher tier poetry paper

Please could you help me with the significance of rhyming couplets in THCM?

Be creative with your points and offer original interpretations.
The rhyming couplets may reflect his humour which he is hoping will persuade this "coy" women to succumb to his sexual desires.

Ask your teacher if you need more help, many people on tsr don't have much time to..
Hope this helped

Personally just check out 'MrBruff' on youtube it's easy to understand. Plus after watching a few of his vids you'll start getting the hang of how to analyse and probably start coming up with your own points too :biggrin:

Hey guys , did a question about Gerald croft come up in the an inspector calls Literature 2014 paper?

I predict that the 2015 paper An inspector calls will be about Gerald croft or Mr birling.

Last year for the June 2014 paper Eva smith came up. Therefore Arthur Birling is the only character not to have come up yet :smile:

Hopefully! But the examiners all know that we are expecting him, and therefore a character may not even be an option, and there might be two themes instead. Or one of the characters that came up a long time ago could be on the 2015 paper such as The Inspector or Sheila. For example, for the OMAM section George and Lennie came up in the paper in like 2011, and came up again last year (2014) despite the fact everyone was expecting either Curley or Candy as they haven't appeared yet. So it all depends really :smile:

Does anyone have any idea for what they may ask in the 2015 June Eng Lit Exam for Modern Texts: Of Mice and Men and Inspector calls ?

Any predictions?

Oh! And also for poetry: character and voice section? if anyone does it? Thanks, hugely appreciated!!! xo

i think there might be a question on Curley because they havent doe him so far but there isnt a lot you can write about him. Im doing character and voice as well and i have no idea how to revise the poems
