Bro everyone does aqa, it's so hard to find predictions for ocr, I do pride and prejudice (hate it, it's such a dead book to annotate), Animal Farm (actually interesting) , macbeth (love it) and love and relationship (its alright).

Ah you're so lucky, I really wanted to do inspector calls and J&H bc I prefer books like that, pride and prejudice is way too long and it's hard to pick out the right quotes to use

i did eric's return at the beginning of act three because it starts very dramatically with 'you know, don't you' 🔥🔥 then this led to the inspector's final message and exit
