Someone answer my question

Is enjabment okay for the mango poem

Paper 1 gets scaled down to 40

So basically its (Your mark)/45 x 40, and then added onto paper 2's 60

Ah, that clears things up, thank you!

Yeah well I used it. I guess it depends on how you were using it, like, what meaning you said it conveyed.
I talked about how it was used to create a sense of frantic, childish playfulness which resonates with the opening line of "eight years old"
It's a two marker anyway so you'd probably get away with anything unless you wrote something completely nonsensical.

Should be since it was a very obvious technique

Also they get your mark 105 then scale it to 100 then scale each text then you have your weighted mark

I feel like buying Mangos now.

I used 2 techniques for the first text. Enjambment to show the excitedness of the narrator and sensory imagery of the "taste of the mango and squeeze of the cheek" for the delight of experiencing it for the first time

Same techniques here but didn't put an example for enjambment I just said throughout the poem is that okay?

Lol I think don't think about it for now because you can't change anything haha.

Yeah pretty sure that's almost exactly what i did lmao

 

[HitoKage13]

Just sprinkle BS throughout, it'll be fine for me ahah ^^

 

[fuzionx3]

My whole newsfeed is overloaded with people complaining about a two mark question regarding the poem titled 'mangoes' ......

 

[pikachu975]

The poem wasn't bad but the fact I used it for the 6 marker made it sound bs... "the unexpected taste of the mangoes" hahaha

 

[HitoKage13]

I did texts 2 and 3, how the unexpected nature of reading literature can enlighten individuals and like how future civilisations can find meaning in the landscape of the third text. I wrote rly fast and finished section 1 and 3 in an hour so I had an hour for my creative. Esp since it's my weakest, felt rly good.

Oh hey I used it for the 6-marker too... mainly because I hated the one about the bookshop. But yeah I said some bs about how the establishment of a child narrator/persona and emphasis on the meaningfulness of friendship (yeah the boys) positions the audience to perceive the discovery of all the
other stuff (taste of mangoes, birthday) as new and therefore immediately meaningful.

I thought it was pretty solid, ended up making a 2 page response, with stuff about the soccer field and spiritual imagery and all that. Honestly I thought that was an easy Section 1 compared to like, 2016.

Three words: Mangoes...

Oh haha I said the unexpected taste of the mangoes through enjambment and the audience's unexpected discovery that it is his birthday tomorrow through the sudden pathetic fallacy of "clouds break". Text 3 was even more bs so overall I put in 8 techniques for the 6 marker cause I was writing bs so had to add more to cover it up haha

I reckon some of the band 1 answers are going to be really good this year, pity I'm not an english teacher marking it

Could've chucked in personification -> squeezed the cheek.

Copy and paste that as a URL

Your welcome

You're* rip english

In the end, Paper 1 wasn't that bad for me.
Wrote 7 pages for the creative and 6 for the essay, but got caught out in the short answer and only wrote 4 (finished all the questions though).

 

[A E S T H E T I C]

That URL thing that got posted didn't work for me, even when I removed the spaces. Anyone else try it?
