ugh ugh ugh


I need like, an article or something (it's much, much easier to analyse)
im so stressed.

Are we meant to have two related texts?
Whilst most teachers suggest one because it is easier and less to remember, it is safest to do two texts for two reasons. Firstly, the BoS can still legally write a question asking for TWO related texts and secondly, you have a wider variety of related to talk about in your essay on the day, even if you use only one, you can pick the related that suits the question most on the day.

I'm doing the fiftieth gate and I hate it, I've only read half the book and I have a speech due in two days...
Can anyone help with writing a good "attention grabber" about History/Memory.
I have my related material, its about the Chinese Cultural Revolution.

I am currently studying it. I really disliked this book. It was extremely boring to read. Also, it was very incoherent and I struggled to find a pattern in the book. I do realise the incoherency is purposefully used to reflect the pieces of memories provided by Yossl and Genia, and also the nature of the war. It was just a shit book. Haha. I feel that Mark is a prick for putting his parents through such torture to write his book. However, Mark definitely also realises he is a prick for persisting in probing them for information... I'm pretty sure he mentions it a few times in the text.
