Hey! I don’t do Inspector Calls or a Christmas Carol, but I do do Macbeth and Power and Conflict poetry.

From what I’ve seen, Macbeth predictions are on the Supernatural and the witches, Revenge, Kinship, or Banquo.

For Power and Conflict, I’ve had people saying that they could do the power of nature in “The Prelude” or “Storm on the Island” OR go down a nature and conflict route with “Exposure.”

But I’ve always seen an identity theme with “Emigree” or “Checking out me history”
Hope this helps :smile:

hi there!
thank you for replying!
i've seen loads of predictions for power & conflict poetry with the poem being tissue but to be honest i don't think they would put tissue since it's a hard poem to analyse but i agree with you with the macbeth predictions because i've seen a lot of people saying the witches, kingship etc.

No problem, I don’t think that they would do Tissue for the poem to come up to compare something too because it is meant to be a poem for higher students grade 8/9 to analyse!

I think for Power and Conflict it’s likely to be Storm on the Island (I’m just going off what I’ve heard though)!
I’d have liked it to be My Last Duchess but that was the poem last year so it’s highly unlikely to (I guess you never know though…)

yes same i would've liked it to be my last duchess but you never know since a poem could repeat! i would say i've seen some predictions for storm on the island but i've also heard checkin' out me history or the emigree, some people have been saying tissue though.

these have been some predictions i've heard for the components i do:

Macbeth: Supernatural, Guilt, Kingship and Marriage

A Christmas Carol: Christmas as a charitable time, Ghost of Christmas Present

Poetry: Nature (Storm on the Island) or Identity (Checking Out Me History or The Emigree)

There’s a YouTube channel called mr salles English and I used him for his prediction vids literally night before my exams on those topics, and he is an English teacher so makes great predictions and how to answer it and apply if it isn’t that question. He got them right last year and I got 9s in both my English so check him out, odds are he’ll have it, if not subscribe and he’ll make one on it, trust me. It’s SO good

yes i've heard about some of these predictions like for macbeth i've heard about kingship but people are saying it might not because it's came up i dont know though. i've heard something about poetry being identity themed. thank you for replying!

i have no evidence to base this off of, but one of my friends said he thinks it will be about the inspector? (this may be completely wrong i am just relaying information lol)

yup i do inspector calls, many people are predicting, for the theme - social responsibility and for the character- inspector.
