Hey guys! I did walking away (parent-child love) as the comparison to winter swans when it asked for romantic feelings. How many marks will I lose?
Please help

How do you write so much, I wrote 6 pages overall

Original post by Athenaxx

Omg yess I found the questions so easy but I literally had 10 minutes left to complete the 24 marker and the 8 marker... I wrote one page for the 24 marker didn't even do the 8 mark question. I should have managed my time better cos I wrote 11 pages for AIC and spent 1 hour 10 mins on it and wrote 9 pages for the poetry and spent 50-55 mins on that. Im so distraught cos i got a 9 in my mock and I feel like there is no chance of me getting a 9 now...

I'm confused to that as how would you do that....the question asked about affects of war....ozymandias does not have much of a link to war effects

Lool I'm a very fast writer, and a solid 3 pages were probably plans :frown:

I thought it was normal to write 10+ pages during Lit Paper 2 in 2 hours

I put about her it destroys the facade of her perfect family and realises that they are in fact not good people and it would lead her to question basically her whole life, like her engagement to gerald who she loved and trusted and her mother who is like a leader to her and a 'role model' in charity (in the first act when they talk about marriage and how she estranges herself from them and fights for honesty (gerald) and equal treatment (the factory) and a whole lot about how she is used therefore as a mechanism for priestley's views on socilism and how characters like her who develop like that are needed and a ww2 audience would have supported her influence ad growth... sorry for the ramble x)

Yeah sure it would be, as long as you explained how her reactions led to her change and her learning lessons about herself and society, sounds fine to me though!
