Hi,
A quick reminder about the second unseen question:
My advice is:
A quick reminder about the second unseen question:
- it's only worth 8 marks
- you only have around 15 minutes to do it
- it is only assessed on AO2 (comparing the writer's methods)
The question will be in this format:
In both ______ and ______ the speakers
describe _________. What are the similarities
and/or differences between the ways the
poets present these attitudes?
[8 marks]
My advice is:
- Read poem 2, just thinking about methods (language and structure)
- Note down anything you notice and look for similarities and differences with poem 1
- Write 2-3 Both/However paragraphs.
Typical comparisons might be:
- Both poems use an extended metaphor to get across _________________. (Discuss how the use of metaphor is similar in the poems by commenting on quotes) However, (Discuss differences and interpretations of the two metaphors)
- Both poems use rhyme. In ______, (discuss the effect of the rhyme in poem 1 and compare to poem 2). However, in ______, the structure is much more regular. Perhaps this represents _____________________.
- Both poets use powerful verbs.... However
- Both poems feature a motif/symbolism of nature.... However...
Easy peasy.
