Pls mark my English language paper1 Q3 My exam is tmmrw

In source A the writer creates interest. by emphasing how many material items the master has. This can be seen from lines 40 to 42 where the uniter uses s a list of 5 qualities, of the room to illustrate the amount of wealth the writer has.
Furthermore by listing these things it creates a sense of curiosity upon the reader to further see how many more materialistic items the master must have around his home master must have around the vest of his nause, which possess the reader to read the rest of the novel. This is further illustrated long through the long sentence, which places emphasis upon the plethora of items the master has, highlighting that his wealth is never ending
In Addition, in source A the writer also creates interest by making the master seem unusual and odd. This can be see from the lines 1-2. where the writer zooms into the character to illustrate he is not as perfect as he seems, Furthermore by listing these qualities of the master it creates intrigue and awe upon the reader, by showing them that even the master has flaws, it grasps the readers attention by letting them believe that they may also be like the master if they tried. This is further illustrated by zooming into the Character creating a connection between the reader and the master.

hi. if your examboard is aqa, then i'm not sure how many marks this would get because you haven't stated anyhting in relation to how the text is structured to interest you as a reader.

here's some general advice for improvement:

•

use quotes - even though q3 is about structural techniques, quotes from the extract should be used when necessary. if there's a cliffhanger, embed the evidence into your paragraph.

•

do not talk about any language techniques AT ALL - in short, you won't get any marks from them.

•

name structural techniques - students often find it difficult to distinguish language techniques from structural techniques. this table helped me a lot during my gcse's: https://www.limehurst.org.uk/attachments/download.asp?file=582&type=pdf

•

clarity + grammar - i assume you typed this all up without looking through your work, but proofreading in the real exam is very important!

•

linking back to your main point - your first point stated that the writer captures the reader's interest. the examiner will want to know how. why does the wealth of the master inflict such a keen reaction from the reader? how does the writer maintain the reader's interest? is there a climax within the extract?

•

if you're going to talk about the "reader feeling inclined to read the rest of the novel," you must also explain why.

hope this helps! :smile:
