Hii, i don't have that paper so i can't really give you most help but q2 is about language. Start of by: the writer (what ever their name is) uses ( a language technique eg: simile, lexical field. I would give you an example but i don't have the paper, i'm sure you can identify a simile) to show.... ( what the question is asking you to do) then out your quote in (the simile) which implies.... (explain it/ analyse it ) now choose a word from the quotes and suggest what it means, (eg: the word "dark" suggests mystery, fear but also power) now tell me what kind of atmosphere this creates and what effect it has on the reader.
if you want you could send through the 2020 paper , i could hep you with examples. If not, good luck!! Hope it helpss. Have a nice dayy (:

this is what I wrote and I got a 6/8. I hope it helps :smile:

Q2. The writer uses the adjectives 'unfamiliar' 'mess' and 'muddle' to describe the garden to the readers, this portrays a sinister and untidy image of the garden to the readers suggesting to the readers that the garden is not being taken care of.

The writer also uses the simile 'like a gigantic malformed hand' to describe the roots of the ancient mulberry tree. The use of the simile and the adjective 'malformed' suggests to the readers that the tree looks as if it is abnormal thus making the garden look eccentric, intriguing the readers and increasing the tension of the scene.

The writer also uses the oxymoron 'wintry sun' that 'hung low in the sky and gnarled growth through twisted shadows'. The writer uses the oxymoron to make the reader feel disturbed and the atmosphere of the garden feel unsettling. The use of the animalistic verb 'gnarled' also perhaps connotes to the reader that the garden is eerie and alarms the reader.

hey i can help, anyone add my insta and i’ll help you there : laurenshaw.2

if you wanna know what i wrote for question 2 or 3, it was about how the garden was presented:
i wrote about how the garden had a tree, which had personification , the personification makes out the tree is some sort of guardian of the garden, it protects those beneath it,
i also mentioned the thickness of the garden towards the gate could be that the garden is keeping those inside captive, and how the garden potentially is apart of the supernatural and blah blah,
just a few ideas :biggrin:
