hey! I'm doing romeo and juliet, jekyll and hyde, an inspector calls, and power and conflict. for aic I'm thinking eva as she's never come up before - not sure about theme though. for power and conflict, I was thinking maybe checking out me history? the ones that haven't come up yet are the prelude, checking out me history, the emigree, tissue, and charge of the light brigade (I think, this is from the top of my head). idk why I think it might be checking out me history, I'm just hoping it isn't the prelude lol

Hi I'm doing aqa macbeth, an inspector calls, a christmas carol and power and conflict, I think for aic they'll ask about eric/sheila/mrs. birling as I swear eva smith was 2025 question? Or that's what I heard... for power and conflict I don't think there will be any questions on emigree or tissue, these are the "grade 9" poems so there's only a small chance that that could come up- so for power and conflict i think it'll be focused on conflict, mainly "Exposure"? For Macbeth I think we'll be asked about the supernatural, as that hasn't came up for a while... these are only my humble predictions. Good luck for your english gcses!

I think 2025 was power or gerald and sheila’s relationship?

Exposure came up last year, so I don't think we will have it

omg real, everyone does macbeth or a christmas carol. for r+j I was thinking (and hoping tbh) mercutio? idk that's what my friends say, and he's never come up before. tbh I have no idea for j+h, I haven't really looked at many past papers for it.

Frr; I hope we get a character question for j+h, that would be easier than a theme.

i do aqa macbeth, a christmas carol, an inspector calls and power and conflict poetry and here are my predictions/hopes. I think for macbeth it might be like banquo or supernatural (idk this may just be wishful thinking lol). for acc i think it might be one of the spirits maybe idk tbh. for aic i reckon its gonna be eva smith. for power and conflict i think it might be storm on the island or prelude (i hate prelude it better not be there) anyway these are probably not accurate at all and i wouldnt trust them.

yeah, we haven't had a character in 2 years, and it's quite consistent (so far its been c,c,t,c,t,t,c,c,t,t). do you think it could be utterson? it's only been jekyll and hyde so far

Yh I have also noticed that they only used jekyll and hyde so far, it could be a diff character this time like lanyon or utterson, but idk what they would ask abt. Maybe science for lanyon ? But idk abt utterson

ooh yeah - maybe lanyon and jekyll for science vs religion. yeah I'm not too sure for utterson - I would say secrecy but that was last year.
