Can you guys mark my Q3 answer for AQA English Language Higher Tier 3rd June 2014? And mark it out of 8?
In paragraph one, there is a feeling of unbearable experience by the writer. The
use of emotive adjectives such as 'hot' and 'unbearably' to describe the weather
and atmosphere of Vanuatu. This reflects the writer's own feeling of desperation
about being stranded in a new lovely but 'unbearable' island from his conventional
day to day life with 'movie theatres, Starbucks on every corner and his beautiful home'.
Paragraph one convey's the early feelings felt in island of Vanuatu.
In paragraph two the negative feeling are continued, 'hostile darkness descends'
shows us that when it gets dark then the place is the writer's enemy. The quote
'that fact alone has me totally creeped out' reflects the writer feeling and thought
of being scared.
In paragraph nine the writer compares the island of Vanuatu when he was a little kid
and he lost his parents in a department store. This shows that the writer is distraught
and he just wants to go back home like when he is in the department store where he just
wants his parents. The comparison of being lost in the department store helps the
reader create an image of being left alone because it's easier to understand the feeling.
