Salome Holland Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) Since 24 hours have passed now I just wanted to know how everyone did. I personally found the selections of questions hard. I chose question 5 in the end and I think it turned out alright. Edited May 4, 2016 by Salome Holland Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZhenXS Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I chose question 2, the one about the writers using atmospheres to some effects. I'm not sure if it was necessarily accompanied with sufficient analysis to warrant good marks, though. Hoping for the best! Anyone else chose question 2? 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevG Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) I chose question 5 as well and I ended up writing 8 pages haha I don't know if it's good BS or bad BS, but the BS flowed nonetheless Edited May 4, 2016 by kevG 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
#teamnosleep Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Is question 5 about the author trying to get the reader to relate to the character and ideas on both texts? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chose question 2 for Macbeth and A Doll's House It was so fun when I compared irony atmosphere and foreshadowing in the books! 😁 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Question 5. I always go for the general ones to try any narrow it down instead of picking specific one, because sometimes I run out of things to say. I did The Crucible and The White Tiger. I think it was alright. 4 pages total Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
inriya Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 5 hours ago, ZhenXS said: I did A Doll's House too! What did you talk about? For the Doll's House, I actually raised the example of Nora looking fixedly at Helmer when he threw his massive tantrum. Ibsen carefully depicted his attitude change after he received the second letter from Krogstad, he was overjoyed so he returned back to his patriarch (disgusting, personally) language. It created a dramatic irony, etc. Another point that I created was about foreshadowing of Christmas, it showed the peaceful family that Nora and Helmer used to have (which is a contrast to the end of the book when Nora left the house).

Mebenie Alexandra Ngai Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 I chose question 5 as well - Standard Level wrote 5 pages. My two books were Jane Eyre and The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea. I was deciding on Question 5 or 6 and ended up picking 5. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecsstudent Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Chose question 2 and I think I did pretty well. Talked a lot about techniques and their effect. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesisbozo Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Question 5 here. Did In the Skin of a Lion and Persepolis (book 1). I really felt that Q5 was the only viable option for me, though some at our school did 6 (or the one about homes I think). Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerezaM Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 I chose 6. about home and used Oedipus the King and Death of A Salesman Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shraddhaj Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 I thought the questions were harder than ever and a lot of them didn't even pertain to my books. I chose 5 because it was literally the only one I could justify with my texts.

And then I also linked situations and the relationships between the characters. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
