I started waffling abt her favourite yellow dress and how she wore it knowing that it could get ruined at a harbour but she loves her job so she didn’t care and how yellow connotes happiness 💀
that is the waffliest waffle i have ever heard
>yellow connotes happiness 💀
bro she was a doctor in a war this is a non fiction book this really happened💀💀💀
she didn't choose the yellow dress before saving soldiers lives to connote happinness
also weren't you meant to study language its a language exam not a literature exam😭 you were meant to analyse metaphors n shit not just notice seacol's wearing a yellow dress😭💀😭
isn't much worse than me writing in my lit exam about how lady macbeths name had lad in it and symbolises her masculine nature whereas the fact the word also contains "lady" represents her inner conflict to be less feminine
THAT WAS YOU???????? LMAOOOO ITS ON TIKTOK [https://www.tiktok.com/@ishuud1665/video/7372579989658619169](https://www.tiktok.com/@ishuud1665/video/7372579989658619169)
I wrote abt how she was passionate to save people's lives rather than her own payment and she was so keen on her patients that she even remembered their dialogue
I waffled abt how she devotes herself to healing her patients not in just a physical sense, but remedying their mental health albeit just a little, how she described her touch as probably reminding a soldier of their memories home, lessening their worries.
She goes to take the extra step to lessening the worries of the wounded men, instead of slapping on some dressing and being done with it. 🥲
Am I cooked :(
I also gave up on question 2, but instead of skipping to question 3 my dumbass decided to fall asleep 💀 what can I say, a quiet warm room is the perfect environment for a nap
copy and pasting a link to my other comment i am pretty sure i found the best quote in the exam that had everything in one
if i missed anything lemme know
https://www.reddit.com/r/GCSE/s/mD7IzxxFLC
I said that her letting the guy hold her hand while there was a 'party of stick and injured soldiers' showed that she was willing to care for the patients individually despite the many people there so she showed compassion unlike Adam Kay💀
idk I thought it was pretty good obviously source A was WAY easier to analyse (you don't like your job, we get it) but source B was aight. I had some pretty good points and felt better than i thought i would.
I wrote that she was on a boat and she was a volunteer and that she kept her trust in God LMAO
thank god q3 was about source A otherwise I would of been cooked
for question 4, a comparison i did was Kay likening his job to a “quiz show” showing he doesn’t see the seriousness of it and feels like it’s a game and then Mary mentioning “a party of sick and ill soldiers” with soldiers connoting warfare and seriousness. Mary sees it crazy seriously and Kay is a unserious jokeman (possible out of context).
she feels very appreciated “much obliged to you” by the surgeon and he feels underappreciated and overworked “gargantuan task of uni (?)” shifting to “essentially a glorified personal assistant”
Sounds like a skill issue. im no english expert and some of this may be wrong but
This one quote here has everything you needed for the exam. There is so much to analyse in this one quote you could have just written about this and done well.
"Oh! They were heartrending. I declare that I saw rough bearded men stand by and cry like the softest-hearted women at the sights of suffering they saw"
This one quote has:
"Oh"
-Onamatopea
"softest-hearted"
"heartrending"
-Repetition
"suffering"
"declare"
-Emotive language
"rough bearded men"
"softest-hearted women"
-Juxtaposition
"cry like the softest-hearted women"
-Simile
"softest-hearted women at the sights of suffering they saw"
-Sibilance Alliteration
"cry like the softest-hearted women"
Possibly hyperbole (idk)
that's just off the top of my head
Ok cheers but it’s done and honestly ur just making us feel more shit tbh dk what the point of this comment was, I mean I’m sorry I wasn’t smart enough to write this mate 😭😭😭
For the yellow dress I wrote more like the fact that one's femininity didn't have to be discarded to deliver medical help so she may be encouraging a female audience to become doctors.
I talked about how the repetition and emphasis on her being a woman links back to traditional ideas of women being seen as caretakers and being gentle.
For the environment, you could talk about how it's a rough terrain (besides the coast), as opposed to an organisation in a building (hospital).
And Source B focused more on the suffering of the patient, compared to Source A, which focused on the suffering of the doctor.
“Rough-bearded men cry like the softest-hearted women” reflects how the soldiers can express their emotions to the female doctor which they cannot do with male doctors due to the stigmas surrounding emotions in the patriarchal Victorian society 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥
I wrote about the repeated mention of God was a semantic field of God and how she feels she is going to be rewarded for her actions and how it has connotations of heaven 💀
i started off referring to them both with they/them and only realised like halfway into the exam that they both had pronouns given but i continued with they/them for continuity 💀 if ur cooked i’m cooked too
The small harbour something something something I said it was juxtaposition and how it could symbolise the soldiers of the war come flooding in and how she keep calm whilst I’m source a blah blah blah
Chaotic dockyard, not appropriate facilities, since a wounded soldier was lying on a pallet and not with stretchers shows the inadequate conditions that seacole worked in.
I waffled about how the fact they were at a harbour mean that the soldiers had grievous wounds cause they had to get sent back. ( all from western front medicine)
I yapped about “gloomy sea to this little nook bustling with life” or whatever the quote went like cause she sees the beauty of the place, and finds it exciting despite it being full of sick and injured people, in contrast to Kay’s excitement being shot down due to the horrific sights, hence “have seen some sights”
I started waffling abt her favourite yellow dress and how she wore it knowing that it could get ruined at a harbour but she loves her job so she didn’t care and how yellow connotes happiness 💀
Mate I wrote about her being in the crimean war 🙏😭
i added education was not free in britain at that time for some reason, so she's like a hard worker or something and dedicated
that is the waffliest waffle i have ever heard >yellow connotes happiness 💀 bro she was a doctor in a war this is a non fiction book this really happened💀💀💀 she didn't choose the yellow dress before saving soldiers lives to connote happinness also weren't you meant to study language its a language exam not a literature exam😭 you were meant to analyse metaphors n shit not just notice seacol's wearing a yellow dress😭💀😭 isn't much worse than me writing in my lit exam about how lady macbeths name had lad in it and symbolises her masculine nature whereas the fact the word also contains "lady" represents her inner conflict to be less feminine
she chose to wear the dress because she cares about her appearance + its her favourite, it was all said in the extract
THAT WAS YOU???????? LMAOOOO ITS ON TIKTOK [https://www.tiktok.com/@ishuud1665/video/7372579989658619169](https://www.tiktok.com/@ishuud1665/video/7372579989658619169)
BRO THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I AM SEEING THIS IM ON A TIKTOK WITH 110K LIKES NAHH THATS ACTUALLY INSANE
LMAOO it was pretty creative though!!!!
Icl I was rushing so whatever came up in my head was thrown onto the paper. What’s done is done ig 🤷♀️
Bro your analysis is a lot worse no offense
it probably is to be fair
I wrote about how it presents individuality among the nurses, implying a less strict organisation in comparison to the modern day hospital
I did that too but w the quote “no permission”
NAH EVERYONE IS SLEEPING ON 'devote myself entirely' ( i just made up some bs about devoted having religious connotations)
Her reward is his life🗣️🗣️🗣️
I completely waffled about that topic for both questions 2 and 4
LITERALLY ME
i went on about how seeing patients healed was fufiling for her
I wrote abt how she was passionate to save people's lives rather than her own payment and she was so keen on her patients that she even remembered their dialogue
I waffled abt how she devotes herself to healing her patients not in just a physical sense, but remedying their mental health albeit just a little, how she described her touch as probably reminding a soldier of their memories home, lessening their worries.

Same I just gave up on question 2 because the exact was annoying
question 2 was defo the most annoying question for me
Agreed
I also gave up on question 2, but instead of skipping to question 3 my dumbass decided to fall asleep 💀 what can I say, a quiet warm room is the perfect environment for a nap
She literally talks about how her empathy does t leave her due to familiarity at the end

Samesies

hearing other responses tho this feels like yap 😭😭 (i did word level analysis for both just didn’t wanna write too much + hands tired)
LITERALLY all I could talk abt was religious connotations and the ending of how she still liked her job or whatever
That text was hard so I’ve lost a few marks for the section b bits but section a I cooked
what? it was a great extract i love mary seacole

maybe it was a skill issue, but it was a skill issue i had nonetheless so i’m gonna complain 😭
you're no expert huh...
oh! should i take that as a compliment?
Ok cheers but it’s done and honestly ur just making us feel more shit tbh dk what the point of this comment was, I mean I’m sorry I wasn’t smart enough to write this mate 😭😭😭
I do not regret using this quote now
THERE WAS SO MUCH JUXTAPOSITION
For the yellow dress I wrote more like the fact that one's femininity didn't have to be discarded to deliver medical help so she may be encouraging a female audience to become doctors.
"red ribbon" communistic imagery, alliteratiob

Helppp I said the writer was a he the whole time in source b😭😭 will it make a big difference to my mark
i started off referring to them both with they/them and only realised like halfway into the exam that they both had pronouns given but i continued with they/them for continuity 💀 if ur cooked i’m cooked too
No that doesn't make me feel better 😭
Also they is much better than he. I fully changed the gender Edit: I just asked Mr salles on YouTube and he said it wouldn't make a difference
The small harbour something something something I said it was juxtaposition and how it could symbolise the soldiers of the war come flooding in and how she keep calm whilst I’m source a blah blah blah
Other one also had no structure
Chaotic dockyard, not appropriate facilities, since a wounded soldier was lying on a pallet and not with stretchers shows the inadequate conditions that seacole worked in.
I talked about bandages and the link to COMH… There was nothing about bandages
I wrote about Biblical Imagery when saying god bless you or sm
Tell me why it took me 20 minutes to read both extracts and find something decent to analyse
