Totally going to avoid Brighton Rock for section B! Such a hard text to write about!

I do find it annoying!! I feel like there are certain aspects that are easier like characterisation but even then Atonement and the poems are going to probably be easier for me. guess it depends on the question! I usually choose based on the section c question tbh

2023
Selected Poems – George Crabbe, Robert Browning and Oscar Wilde ‘the criminals in these poems fail to show any feelings of guilt’
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner – Samuel Taylor Coleridge ‘The mariner continually searches for forgiveness which he never receives’
Atonement-Ian McEwan ‘Cecilia is simply an innocent victim’
‘cruelty, either physical or mental, is an essential element in crime writing’
‘explore the significance of death’

Does anyone have any predictions for the section C for social and political protest? After the pretty bad choice in paper 1 (friends is such a bad question for Keats i did the happiness one lol) I'm not looking forward to it, anyone have any predictions on what might come up?

For handmaids it was ‘Offred is admirable in the ways she responds to the control and power of the Gilead regime.’ To what extent do you agree with this view of The Handmaid’s Tale?
