Not sure but we’re doing Frankenstein. I hope Paris questions doesn’t include the seven ages of Paris or the letter. Quite confident for tomrrw though overall.

Same i don't really know terminology, it's quite hard to revise for English tbh. Paris and poetry are all basically device spotting, and then the prose is just learning context and knowing the right terminology?

Answer me this: from what you've been taught, what are the possible questions that could come up?

okay um maybe the DeLacey family?? Frankenstein and Elizabeth's relationship, significance of setting, science or religion, significance of family and importance of females is pretty much it

No but like the actual question itself, like character or setting? Because we've only been taught character or setting questions, and I think there's other questions that could come up?
