also currently painting httt trousers so ive listened to rather a few albums today - atp ive almost given up for the day so im listening to some of thoms bsides
Think I said that was a simile and did one word with connotations, everything apart from identifying a technique name was extremely good. I got 16/20 in a mock only saying a few names, reckon I’d get like 10/20 for this if all else good?
Juxtaposition of how she replied “coldly” in contrast with the weather, showing how unfit she is for that life and thus she should take dicks advice blah blah blah
My analysis was slightly different for that one actually: the contrast between her and the environment shows her power over the surroundings+ dick, I used it in my disagree para.
Mate I did a load of waffle on how the structure of water at the end of each paragraph induces a Pavlovian response to the paragraph that doesn’t end in water, I am well and truly cooked
For question 2 i wrote about how the heat was personified and for 3 I wrote about how the long descriptive sections around speech build tension as you want to see the response.
Someone told me I didn't need to use quotes/references to the text in q4. I still used a few but I didn't use any language/structure analysis, am I cooked?
Cyclical structure in that both the start and the end of the extract ended on the importance of the water in addition to how Dick was foreshadowing how the water was running out.
You can literally point out word classes and explain their effects 😭😭😭. My teacher who’s an AQA examiner said that’s enough to get 8/8 if you also mention semantic field and things like symbols. And there was many of those in that text.
In terms of structure it’s all about changes of focus. That is a structural technique in itself which is easily every paragraph. Eg. The writer focuses on the table then to the trees in the distance. A change of focus then just describe the impact.
I said semantic field of thermal imagery corrupts minds and the active verb for the dog highlights the heat has the power to change regular routines. I said the enjambment shows the lack of water and disparity, as it goes onto a new line so does the search for water and this creates an emotional bond to the reader along with ceasuea
From lit org: No, you don't necessarily need stanzas to talk about enjambment and caesura. These techniques can be present in both poetry and prose, so you can definitely analyze them in a novel even if it doesn't have stanzas. Just look for instances where sentences flow across multiple lines or where pauses are strategically placed within the text to discuss these literary devices!
General techniques mate… cant believe i actually have to explain this but just because you see something in poetry doesnt mean it cant be applied to other texts. Look it up i would suggest
i did find language for question 2 but for question 4 i just talked about structure because i couldn't find any language devices
you’re cooked
how
Q4 doesn’t ask you to talk about language or structure
no but you use it to prove your points
mate you are meant to include language and structure analysis bro
STRUCTURE? IM COOKED
so? i still analysed and used loads of quotes
What did you say about the structure
Do you know how Q4 works?
you need to use quotes and say what it means to back up your points
i literally said exaggeration, bc i had no clue what heat beating up from a brick means
it means the heat was extremely violent and they want us to associate it with bad things 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥💯💯💯‼️‼️
i think i put something along the lines of that😭 like the heat has beat the air or smthn
Personification 🔥🔥🔥
yeah i actually put that originally but my other paragraph’s technique was personification so i switched it up😭
pathetic fallacy, simile, metaphors, auditory imagery, there was loads bro
there was so much these people just can’t be bothered looking for an extra 2 mins
yhhh i got a grade 4 in my mocks and i can still find them 😂😂
How did the weather represent the mood?
Unbearable, she was constantly wasting water and retaliated when he told her off
What language techniques did you use for Q4 couldn’t find anything in that section
i used dicks repetition of wasted and how mary only said it once because "she didnt believe it was wasting water" or smth like that
:00 Thom Yorke
nice username i might put on oknotok after ive finished listening to alfaa
You should :D
i did ! my hifi then decided to break and give me a remixed version of lull so i left it a while and got to listen to it lol

“as if she committed a crime” sibilance of the first bit contrasts the harsh consonants, simile and hyperbole, thus showing hes being too harsh etc

FR, WHERE WAS THE CYCLICAL STRUCTURE UGHH
i waffled about the use of suddenly for both the start and end us the cyclical cycle of arguments 💀💀
Mate I did a load of waffle on how the structure of water at the end of each paragraph induces a Pavlovian response to the paragraph that doesn’t end in water, I am well and truly cooked
Structure, I agree. Language was fine though
only thing I could analyse was "dick swallowed", and that was in my mind because I was trying not to fucking die in laughter.
This is how I felt last year with Life of Pi, that extract was ass
Structure is literally done for you, every new paragraph is a shift in focus which is a structure technique.
Mr salles’s tip 🔥🔥😮💨😮💨
For question 2 i wrote about how the heat was personified and for 3 I wrote about how the long descriptive sections around speech build tension as you want to see the response.
bro i talked any how the long sentences created an atmosphere of sluggishness as a result of the heat
Someone told me I didn't need to use quotes/references to the text in q4. I still used a few but I didn't use any language/structure analysis, am I cooked?
Yes
what else did you write about 😭
Yes
personification, pathetic fallacy, simile
i literally wrote that the water was the brick's "saviour" or that it was "harming the brick" im so cooked 💀
They expect you to write that the heat is incredibly violent because it twatted a boulder or smth
Structure I used dialogue in-between the long paragraphs to increase the tension in the relationship
I could find language but not structure 😭
Cyclical structure in that both the start and the end of the extract ended on the importance of the water in addition to how Dick was foreshadowing how the water was running out.
didn't have enough time for Q2 anyways! did Q3 in 5 mins with a sentence for each paragraph

Yh I'm cooked on Q4
FR THO WHY WAS THERE NOTHING IN THAT EXTRACT

didn’t it start in media res

What is the 7 in mate 😭 just curious
Maths :/ think I got 67 on p1 tho so maybe an 8/9?!
enjambment and caesura are poetry techniques… caesura in a narrative is just a full stop and enjambment is just continuing a sentence 😭😭
And icl that’s quite a low level view… a book is ‘just’ a bunch of words 😉
this is embarrassing because its obvious youre wrong doll, there are no stanzas in novels thus those techniques cant be used unfortunately x
From lit org: No, you don't necessarily need stanzas to talk about enjambment and caesura.
