HELP!!!!! English Literature AQA Paper 2 2024

Help!!! In the Power and conflict poetry I compared Kamikaze and COMH, but didnt read the question so spoke about exploration of cultural identity and protest against repression instead of the effects of conflicts!!! Overall it was a pretty good essay but how many marks could I lose for this?

If it's well written you'll definitely get marks, did you include anything to do with conflict, inner conflict maybe? Because that could link in a way

sadly i didnt even use the word conflict at all, but it was alluded to in my answer and i briefley spoke about japan losing the war in my context? i also spoke about how the pilot saw the boat so saw his enemy as the same as him but thats about all tbh

Did you link it to conflict in any way? At least mention conflict?

I mean if it's well written you'll get marks, I reckon if it's alluded to just have faith in yourself and hope for the best, with essay subjects it's always better to stop thinking about them as soon as you can, imo at least, I'm sure you did great tho
