Try www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize click on english literature and of mice and men. Apart from that I dont know. What are you stuck on or feeling bad about?

So what are you confused about? I'll try and help ya both.
Themes, well the main ones are obviously loneliness and dreams. Hmm I really dont know what else they can ask us on. Probaly the language which Steinbeck uses which I reallllllllllly hope we don't get!

yep, the use of language is hardest thing for me. however even though the questions wont ask straight for the use of language, you would have to mention certain techniques structure of the play in order to gain higher marks

Structure, Theme and Language would be the 3 main factors i'd concentrate on in the exam. You have to know the techniques and explain them extensively to gain A/A* marks, and remember that if you do not know how to explain something well, dont explain it at all, otherwise you'll end up making a dog's dinner out of the exam trying to explain something and taking up time and effort writing about it. Move onto something else you do know. Keep your writing firm, accurate and structured and show off your understanding of the novel as well as you can. Try not to explain the entire story much, the examiner already knows the story, so it's no good you repeating it to him! Usually the questions on the Higher-Tier want you to go into much detail/depth and give the examiner insight onto what's going on and why the author is using such techniques in the chaper, or a certain quote. If the question focuses on dreams or loneliness (examples, it could be any theme) keep your writing always relevent to that theme and use as many quotes as you can to prove your work. Hope this helps.

tnx for help, i ll give u rep wen i can.
