omg i did the same i talked about george and lennie and my essay structure was all over the place!!

I'm doing C&V, can I help at all?

Wow. No way. I got 35/40. What do I need to get in the exams to get an A* overall ? I usually get A and sometimes A*s for the texts and for poetry I've consistently gotten A*s.

Will I lose marks for referring to the wider novel (outside the passage) in my part a OMaM answer?

Looool samee!! i was rushing so much! were we allowed to talk about their dream because my friend said it said to talk about dreams other than lennie and so im so scared!!! what did you say about G+L?

It's so bad i was scribbling it down and i honestly think i only made one valid point! I said that Lennie cannot understand that the idea of the dream is unattinable and if George really believes that he wouldn't go into town into the whorehouses.

I also said that George was the main perpetrator (is that the right word?) of the story yet lennie is the main believer. What did you write?

I did an inspector calls (conflict) and wrote about the impending war briefly, then went on to talk about Eric & Birling's tenuous relationship due to how Eric was never the son Birling wanted, and how Gerald was everything that Birling had hoped Eric to be in the sense that Gerald is a younger parallel to Birling with his capitalistic views and business driven attitude. I then said how Eric's stealing furtherd the rift in their relationship.
Then I went on to talk about the conflict between the classes, using Eva Smith's protest for higher wages as an example, and touching on how the higher classes are driven by greed rather than the lower classes who are simply trying to stay alive. Then I summed it up with how the whole play is a social commentary on the war between capitalistic and socialistic views and how Goole is a tool used to represent the socialistic side and Birling represents the capitalistic side.

I absolutely hated this question and probably just spent most of the time staring at the paper rather than writing. I get 25% extra time and still wrote less than everyone else 😂😂
Opinions on the points I made? Good/bad?
Hoping the boundaries are low because if not I'm screwed 😬

i said that theyre dream is very miniscule and that society at the time was so harsh because they were so close to attaining it yet it was snatched away! idk if its right!! creds to Mr Bruff haha

Does anyone have any idea what could come up in the poetry questions in conflict???

Hi sorry but this is stresing me the hell out, yknow how it said 'leave at least two lines between each answer', i left about 3 between LOTF and OMAM but between part a and b of OMAM I didnt will that lose me marks? or will the examiner know what im getting at when I started talking about the rest of the book?

ANYONE doing character and voices?!!!! How are you preparingggg
