AQA English Literature GCSE 2015 JUNE SUMMER *OFFICIAL THREAD* OMAM AIC

Do we get the books (plain copy obviously) in the English literature unit 1 exam?

Could someone tell me what grade they would give this and any feedback to make it better:


In the passage we see that slim is a man of authority and massiveness. For example "A tall man stood in the doorway". This representation of him makes Slim look almost heroic and something we would expect of a cow boy type movie. The fact that Steinbeck represents slim as heroic shows that he is a man of great importance and has a great influence on people. As well as this, the fact that Steinbeck presents Slim as heroic emphasises that he is going to be of aid when dark events occur later in the book. We get this idea as this is what the qualities of a hero are- To aid and to protect.


Steinbeck also uses sentence structure effectively in order to bring out the characters. This is done where it says, " this was Slim the Jerk line Skinner.". Steinbeck effectively makes Slim seem like one everybody would dream of being and then effectively ends on a simple note to show that Slim is just a general work like the others even though he has all these talents. It shows the harsh environment that prevented people from succeeding in America at the time.


Thanks

You mark harsh

Sorry to correct your teacher but these are the poems of the anthology which will only come up in the Foundation paper, not the higher paper! Them 3 have not came up for that reason and that reason only; take a look at the foundation papers and you will see they have appeared. It also says on the specification that these will not be tested in the higher tier paper. You can choose to compare the given poem with one of these three if preferred but they will not be any of the named poems.

Please don't revise only these! Your best bet is to revise them all and prepare for the other 12 poems that can be named
