That's a good question, I'm quite good at explaining stuff about the dog actually, I would like to include my interpretations at some point.

I like that there's a choice of two for TWIB cause I can pick the one I'm more confident with. There's usually one about overall themes which is helpful as they like you to link to the novel as a whole throughout it, but then there's usually one based around a chapter which is good to focus on one particular point; a lot about a little.

Good luck! Not many people are doing TWIB on here, most seem to be doing An Inspector Calls. But I think TWIB is more interesting and because less people have done it, the examiners might not be as bored by it cause they won't have read as many answers...


Yeah, it does make it slightly annoying though because there's much less revision material, but the last thing I want to do is bore the examiner. It's probably too late, but good luck to you too! :smile:
Ugh, didn't get to sleep until 3am...not worried or anything, just my stupid thought to drink 2 redbulls an hour before I went to sleep...NICE ONE.
Do I risk drinking one before the exam so I don't feel groggy in the hall? Really contemplating it...

It's gonna be easy just give ya best shot; all you have to do really is remember to use PEE and give more than two or even three interpretations and be original (:

Does it really matter if you don't finish the conclusion for the last question? Part (B) on of mice and men i didn't finish the conclusion
AIC Question was alright but TKAM question was awful.

Goodbye, A*.

The Crucible question was easy but I found the OM&M passage quite difficult. What devices did people get? I just got semantic field and hyperbole. Part B was fine for OM&M.

Development of Proctors' relationship, the 1st one.

The 2nd one was about the witch trials and looked a bit vague.
Woah...tsr predictions on it being slim was correct! :tongue:

OMAM fairly straightforward. IC required but more thinking I did one on ending, you?
Ah I really did not enjoy that

Yes, I agree with you. I found OMAM straightforward. What language devices etc. did you spot? There was hyperbole, that's for sure!

The 'An Inspector Calls' question was tricky. I discussed the main feature, but what interpretations could be made? And did you focus on the ending only?
How did people find the crucible and of mice and men? I thought the cucible was quite straightforward but I spent too long on it and had less time for of mice and men which I thought was more difficult. I don't think I talked much about structure either...Is this important?
