if I did not include a strapline for an article, is this a big problem?

I don't think it says in the mark scheme you lose marks or gain marks for it and people have got high marks when doing an article without headings/subheadings

For the title: if I put 'Legacy of Love' is that okay?
My article was about avoiding jobs that are devoid of human connections and explained how people in college have the wrong intentions of credit and money. Wrote about how people won't be remember for materialism but for positive contributions to society instead.

Bro thats good i waffled on abt how the environments were busy but one was both physical and mentally draining other was mentally and emotionslly


That’s good though because it’s more perceptive. I wrote something similar about how Kay’s work environment was tedious and Seacole’s was tremendously and constantly active and busy

Not really. Kay described in depth how his environment was very busy and he had to single-handedly manage lots of people and explained how it was a big burden.

For q2 is this calm:
Designated medical facility vs sea side dock and wharf, not sophisticated
Sufficient funding and advanced infrastructure 'MRI' and 'A and E' vs 'wooden bed or smthn' Correct equipment vs inadequate facilities and not even a comfortable bed.
I did that , I mentioned the MRI Vs the palette that the man is on in source B, I didn't realise source b was in a ship though

I spent an hour on question 2 and only wrote a couple of paragraphs... can I still get a good grade if I only wrote 4 paragraphs for question 4 and 5?

was the question 4 only differences because i wrote one similarity and now i’m worried i’ll lose marks?

No i think its fine because it said compare so like it can include similarities as well. Also did anyone write about the time period difference in q4? I said how like A was in like 2017 and B was in like 1857 or something so theres different feelings and views 😭

Question 2 is 8 marks, why did you spend an hour on it?

Reply 198

Guys, I wrote about Tiktok Rizz Party, CaseOh, Sigma and all the brainrot stuff - I included AF context as well. The question is - am I cooked, or have I cooked.

I put the first one- the one about lots of people wanting work, the one where he got in because of music, the last statement (him liking the job (?) ) and another one, but I forgot- was it how long the job was?
I remember I didn’t put the second one, or the one saying he thought he was a villain for having a different name.
What did you put/ do you remember any of the statements?
