This is a long question (20 marks) so leave yourself at least 25 minutes to have a good go at it. The question will be posed to ask you for your own personal thoughts. There is an example question at the bottom.
Remember: even though it is asking for a personal opinion, you need to explain your ideas using language AND structure analysis.
Also, the length of the answer should reflect (roughly) the marks it is worth. I have seen too many question 4 answers that are shorter than questions 2 or 3. This is like having a big lovely three course dinner to eat but only eating the starter...you're going to be left hungry!
...okay, perhaps it is a weak metaphor, but I just wanted to get a metaphor in there.
Here is the example question and afterwards there is a picture of some kittens in a barrel to calm you down. You're welcome.
A student, having read this section
of the text said: “The writer brings Tom’s and Atticus’s characters to
life for the reader. It is as if you are in that courtroom with them.”
To what extent do you agree?
In your response, you should:
•write
about your own impressions of the characters
•evaluate
how the writer has created these impressions
•support
your opinions with quotations from the text
(20 marks)
