@@ClairesNotes it was all thanks to you tbh, I just put your ideas in my essay.

Glad I could help!

Had her killed. I doubt he would have got his own hands dirty - he wouldn't have "stooped" that low. He says, "I gave commands". Morally, he killed her though.

Thank you!

Thank you so much! They are on the way.

I shall certainly see if I can fit it in.

I'll certainly consider 'Things Fall Apart" and "Hamlet". I already have three videos on Lord of the Flies. Check out my website at www.clairesnotes.com

The exam is today for me too!

Yes, but it's probably too late for you now. Sorry about that!

Thank you!

Thank you. I hope everything went well.

Thank you! I'm glad that you found it at all!

Thank you! I'm glad you're finding them useful. 'Telegraph Wires' is on the list of poems I'm going to do but I can't promise that it will be up before the summer exams. 'A Memory' should be going up some time tomorrow.

@@ClairesNotesthank you

@@ClairesNotescan you do also The Other?

Thank you very much. You're very kind. Eventually, I expect - but I've got my hands full with GCSE at the moment!

This took me a while to figure out, there's almost nothing to write about (i'll cry if this comes up in the exam). This is what I am going to do, I don't know if it's right at all... First stanza is a paragraph: - "they asked me" in media res, personal pronoun doesn't tell us anything, mysterious - "Ultra-super Global Special" excessive, superlatives, the tautology emphasises it and the capitalisation shows how it's important - "and they laughed." - meant to comfort the narrator and the reader into a false sense of trust, but could be interpreted as mocking, makes reader start to think something may be amiss. Next two stanzas is the next paragraph: - "revolving like a flying saucer" showing her giddiness. simile shows sort of alien imagery which is unbelievable and shocking, showing how the whole situation is unreal. - "don't be ashamed // of giving way to your emotions" the enjambment shows how the caller is excited and the words are flowing out quickly as they try to encourage the narrator. - "it isn't every day you hear" the word here makes the sentence indirect and unusual, the equivocation starts to raise suspicion Last three stanzas is the last paragraph: - "We'll give you a moment...' 'Hang on!'" - speech from different people is in the same line and the caesura - interrupts the caller's flow as the narrator starts to realise - "'But the money?' 'We don't deal in money.'" - same line again, the sentences are short and fast paced showing how the illusion starts to deteriorate and the narrator is losing grasp of the fake prize. - "You've had a great experience, right? Exciting? Something you'll remember?" three rhetorical questions in concession, the caller tries to justify their actions which makes the reader question the morality of the situation. Conclusion/concluding idea: "and the line went dead." the narrators expectations and excitement die along with the phone call. People can be gullible and fill in the gaps of what they hear with their wishes.

A good set of notes - but don't forget that you won't be writing generally about the poem, you'll be expected to answer a specific question, e.g. "How does the poet present the theme of expectation in this poem?" and your PETAL 'Point' will need to address this question directly. BTW - it's 'succession', not 'concession'

The points you make will depend upon the question that you have been asked. You write PETAL paragraphs in response to a particular question, e.g. "How does the poet present the theme of expectation in this poem?". The 'P' part of PETAL stands for Point - so each Point will directly answer that question, using key words from the question. Then you will provide Evidence that supports your point. You identify the Technique that the writer has used and then you Analyse the language/Technique to explain how your Evidence supports your Point. Don't forget to then Link back to the question.

@@ClairesNotes thank you!

Good luck!!

Thank you! I'll certainly bear that in mind but unfortunately I won't be able to provide anything before this summer's exams.

I'll certainly try.
