For your 2.5k follower thing (congratulations yaay) my face/selfie tag is non-existant (not comfortable with it sorry) + show preference: the 100 + pronouns: she/her

Universe: The 100Affiliation: SkaikruFriends: Lincoln, Monty, MillerEnemies: Lexa, NiaBio: She prefers the dropship days, even though they were harder than anything she had experienced on the Ark. Avoiding death was so much less complicated then, and less wearing on everyone. She sees the pain in her friends’ eyes, in her leaders’ eyes. Bellamy and Clarke are doing the best they can to fix everyone, to fix each other, but even they can’t do it all. So it is up to her to help where she can. She stands up and says in a clear voice to whomever looks like they need help: go eat something, get some sleep, take care of yourself. She pushes through to the front of the crowd and pulls the fighting boys apart, yelling at them to find a better, more peaceful way to solve their differences (they’ve all had enough of fighting in this endless war on the ground; they don’t need to be fighting each other). She is the one who stands by Lincoln’s side when camp members still look at him warily, stepping up to glare until they back away, realizing their mistake. Bellamy and Clarke (and Monty and Miller and Raven and Octavia) may be the ones who lead the delinquents, but she is the one who protects them all--with her body and her words, with her heart and with her soul.

no more please <3

Hiya it's me again! I found your advice to be very helpful, but I'm a bit confused about what you mean by 'narrative blocks?' Could you expand a bit more please? And holy crap, how did you manage to get an A for your mocks?! I'm finding it almost impossible and I lack the confidence. Could you please make a post of what you do for your english revision, with a picture of the sheet you had in one of your posts, please? Thank you for all the help :)

Heya! I’ve posted the ‘Aspects of Narrative’ sheet as well as the mark scheme and some texts that I’ve annotated so hopefully they are useful!

By ‘narrative blocks’ I mean the different techniques used by the author/poet. For example, there is form, structure, voice, tone, setting, destination, characterisation, time (maybe a shift in time - so use of prolepsis or analepsis), use of lexis/vocab (perhaps colloquial language/terms), symbols, motifs, descriptive language (you could go into similes, metaphors, hyperbole ect here) and even types of verbs/adverbs (violent verbs, present participle ect). I think there are a couple more but these should suffice. 

For writing you essay in Section A Part i, this is basically ALL you need. And to be honest, within the time given, I can’t write about more than 4 ‘narrative blocks’, tops, so it is not the end of the world if you only know a couple. My way of incorporating as many ‘narrative blocks’ as I can is through embedding form and structure into my intro. This means that I have 2 techniques ticked off even before I am into the body of my essay! 

I used to write in sections (every time there was a tone change) but I could not write as much and it was very disorganised because I was jumping back and forth between techniques. I then changed the structure of my essay by writing about each ‘narrative block’ which I would totally recommend! (it is by far the best way to write the Section A Part i essay). 

Regarding the exams, it is absolutely crucial that you are confident! Be sure of what you are writing - trust yourself and just argue. A group of friends and I were talking about how English Literature at AS is literally about how well you can argue your point of view. For Section A Part i, as long as you can argue that the techniques/’narrative blocks’ are used to tell the story, you can get the marks and for Part ii, it is basically all argument. Write the essay as if you are convincing someone. And for Section B, you are basically arguing between the three texts as you evaluate - come to a conclusion about which text is the most effective. So, to sum it all up, the most important thing is to believe in yourself as you write - you have all the knowledge, it’s just about putting it all down in the time!

If there are any other things you want to know, feel free to ask! And good luck, you’ve got this! xx
