GCSE English Lang question 2 - Just started y10 and want feedback

the writer uses language to describe the t-rex as inhumane and machine like. The author describes the T-Rexs lower leg as a 'Piston', this noun gives the audience the feeling of an unstoppable, driving force. The writer may also be trying to tell us about how the tyrannosaurus rex is specifically adapted for killing, therefore emphasising its machinelike qualities through this embedded purpose.

Furthermore, The Writer describes the t-rex as a 'great evil god'. The juxtaposition of the words ' great' and 'evil' show the tyrannosaurus rex's almost omnipresence and at the top of the great chain of beings. This highlights its inhumane, Godlike qualities whilst also emphasising its vicious, tyrannical and merciless nature.

For the first paragraph, explain further about this "unstoppable, driving force" and link it back to the point. Furthermore, zoom into a word or phrase of the quote, in this case, zoom into the word, "piston".

For the second paragraph, expand more on the omnipresence and link it back to the point. Also mention the reader's response of the effect that the writer uses.

My advise to you is to follow a structure that clearly allows you to make sure your paragraphs are good. I personally use PEETZARC (Point, Evidence, Explain, Technique, Zoom, Author's intention, Reader's response and Context, when applicable). However, you are free to use any other structure that you find more comfortable. Just make sure that mention the technique, its effect, author's intention and reader's response.
