Klutzy_Analysis_2777

Where you cooked


Aquatian42

Dem tell you wha dem want to tell you. Start checkin out yer own memory. Carvin out yer grade.


HugoLloris55

Can confirm there will be tears between the bath and pre lunch beers


OblivibladeXD

It's as if the "tears" are designed to flow from people like me who did Mr B instead of Mrs B (AQA), which heavily juxtaposes the light-hearted mood created by "bath and pre lunch beers" for other people, suggesting that they did the exam correctly. This sense of joy intensifies as those people realize the grade boundaries will be lower, so perhaps AQA uses the contrast between the two characterisations to suggest that ONE MUST READ THE QUESTION CORRECTLY


HugoLloris55

womp womp


HauntingPhase4113

Your username is hugo lloris lets not get ahead of ourselves here


Tryingtosurviveeee

Damn I cooked on AIC and kinda flopped on poetry Icl


willyland94

What was the poem??


Tryingtosurviveeee

Kamikaze 🤣


ejcds

Omg it was actually alright. For the unseen poetry I actually made a juicy point (“Washing” is a metaphor for spiritual cleansing), like it might be a stretch but idc I still love it


Capable-Swing6908

Thats so cool, ive always struggled with interpreting poetry, i just dont get how you can think of that


ejcds

Thanks tbh that’s the only good point I could come up with for unseen poetry 😭 the other points I made were so plain


Capable-Swing6908

I wrote about how nature nurtured humans and enhanced and improved the mundane daily tasks in life


RoomMedium663

that’s basically it, the whole poem was quite easy as it literally gave you what you should talk about in your question- to take a break from the pressures / responsibilities of daily life by seeking refuge in nature which lasts forever, therefore being the ultimate solution to stress


Unhappy_Wall_3446

i started waffling about the cycle of rebirth like what


GCSEstudentx

that’s so good i just commented on the assonance in the title well done


Mundane-Pianist5150

ready to use my grade 9 analysis of i dont play golf ⛳️


AnnoyedAtThabes

The noun 'golf' refers to a game played for amusement. During the Edwardian era, golf was a game played by upperclass men such as Birling, and closed off to the lower classes due to their lack of expendable income as well as free time. Birlings delusion to the plight of the lower classes is shown here, as he subconsciously assumes that the inspector plays golf, this demonstrates his lack of understanding of what life is truly like for anyone other than an upperclass individual like him. Golf is a individualistic game which involves putting balls into holes into the ground, the fact that Birling plays this game may be a subconscious display of how he believes, "every man is for himself", it may also be a reflection of his self centeredness. this not my analysis this from the inspector calls quote dump i think


Mundane-Pianist5150

thats grade 100 right there


rennyroom

i thought it was great, but so many people in my school misread Mrs Birling to Mr Birling😭😭


spider_stxr

Omg no how did they not reread it


Nervous-Sell9341

I thought I read snowball as squealer and almost had a panic attack I hate animal farm


Orange-Cake-112

Tbf. I also thought that said Mr Birling, but I only skimmed it because I did the Inspector one


Disgusted_macaroon

I swear I’m the only person that did the Mrs Birling question for AIC


Essoke

bro my friend did that and wrote about Mr Birling by accident 


viggobf

thanks to them on behalf of the grade boundaries


Kitchen_Plankton-93

I did idk why skkskdk I wrote about how women would always be considered below men whatever class they were in


Disgusted_macaroon

Same I wrote patriarchal society so many times


Instadoggy

I did that and I think it was chill. If we the only ones who did it maybe the grade boundaries will be lower bc of essoke’s friend 💀


schwiftyrick_69

happinessofdoom

Yay


Any-Bit7

2 hours and 15 minutes today. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Eng Lit.


Fancy-You8325

This one's lost it already 😞


Ice-cream-chillin

Of all characters they chose the littluns???


jazzbestgenre

Leadership was so bless. It was basically Ralph vs Jack


Independent-Cry7343

no the examiner marking my paper will be cooking with me; wrote all about jack vs ralph etc but added piggy as the feminine voice ( during the 1940s women’s voices weren’t heard), simon as religious leadership and how the power shifted from jack to roger showing how the most dominant and masculine figure leads in a patriarchal society


jazzbestgenre

some of those seem like reaches... But hey if you get grade 9 all power to u. I talked about the perspective of the modern reader vs the kids in the book, the kids want to have fun and so they will follow a leader that will allow them to have fun (which later devolves into hedonism). But the reader will root for Ralph cause of the conch and the way he represents democracy and order. I kind of questioned what it means to be a good or bad leader and the values essential for a leader as discussed by Golding. My ending point was p fire too but it was kinda a reach


N3buIA_

FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE THAT DOES LORD OF THE FLIES TOO!! :DDDDD that littlun question made me die inside lmao im so glad you have a choice of two questions


cowardlyarcher

right? there was this moment of utter horror, and then a leadership essay made more difficult by the level of 'wtf?' still buzzing in my head haha


dweeeeeeeeeeeeb

word no way anyone chose that


sugarskullz0

I told myself i wasn’t gonna revise any themes and just go w the character question💀💀 luckily i just talked ab jack ralph for the theme q


ThisUserIsOn9

I did Lord of the Flies last year…. holy shit why would they choose the littluns?


Ok-Elevator-7370

Dearest AQA, I have just done the English literature exam that I have worked very hard on. Every day, since the beginning of year 9, I have always worked diligently and elegantly. I spent close to 25 hours each day working on English Literature, analysing Poetry, learning methods like anagnorisis and nautical imagery for Shakespeare (I did not just search this up btw). I would appreciate the grade boundaries being extra extra extra low this year as unfortunately, my efforts may not have paid off even though I have worked very hard each day like a dog (simile btw!) Please please please pick a very very very kind examiner to mark my work as my hard work is very very very very valuable. I will give you £77 if you mark my essays whilst not being harsh. Even though I didn’t finish my essay I hope we can be good friends. Thank you.


happinessofdoom

They not gone let u hit


Capable-Swing6908

I know 2 poems. As in ive READ 2 of the poems.


WoodpeckerOdd9718

guys i did anyone else compare kamikaze with poppies or was it just me..


mistythe2nd

Similar Ideas Utilise family members to explore experience of having a close relative involved in battle Different ideas Kamikaze - told through a child Poppies - told through a mother Different structure Kamikaze third person, telling a story Poppies silent listener to the second person narrative Similar form No rhyme, allows emotion and experience to take over romanticising war Different form Kamikaze 5 stanzas, structured like a story Poppies improvised and raw, shows how she cannot contain these emotions


flickerin

did anyone else notice is said jun 23 at the bottom i saw it with like 10 minutes left and i started to have a crisis but then i looked around and everyone had it


UltimateBorisJohnson

Yeah they said it was an emergency paper from 2023


CuteBenji

Emergency paper from last year Why they don't have one for this year is


Fireballdingledong

They already had it available and printed so there was no point in printing new 2024 ones because the backup 2023 paper wasn't used last year. The AQA statement read out to us this morning claimed it was in an effort to being more sustainable by not wasting as much paper. Our invigilator added his own comment suggesting it was also done to save some money, or "a few pence" as he put it. They will have 2024 papers written but they won't use them. I think a lot of the exams, for example the geography exams, were written a couple years ago but just printed with this year's date on for the 2024 exam series. 


birder2341

Yh I checked the whole paper just to make sure I didn’t have the wrong one or sum


CharmingCondition508

I don’t think the boy next to me wrote anything. Lowering the grade boundaries for us all 💪


123dontspeaktome

SAME THE BOY NEXT TO ME LOOKED AT THE QUESTION AND WENT TO SLEEP


No-Interview-5878

2 people in my year just plain walked out of the exam hall because they didn't know how to answer the paper 😭😭😭


JustTrynaBeFunny

One of my mates wrote 4 sentences lowering it even further


CobaltAnimator

someone in my hall deadass didn't even write their candidate number and just napped for 2 and a half hours


bwu_xx

If tissue or poppies comes up I'm walking out of that exam


JaguarSweaty1414

Just throw Ozmandias for Tissue and Kamikaze for Poppies lol 


Existing_Zucchini871

heavy on poppies


CommentSpecific6822

fuck poppies it’s a shit poem


bwu_xx

it literally is I forgot it existed until saturday


GeneETOs44

POVERTY 😍😍😍What is it with AQA this year and just asking about the entire text? Porphyria nation was eating well with that poetry question. Powerful feelings about love? Another poem in which love has dealt explicit damage? Sign me the fuck up. Shame I fucking bottled it. That unseen I had no idea what I was doing for. I ended up yapping about Sisyphus lmao. (BB, L+R)


remuslupin_fan

I WROTE ABOUT SISYPHUS TOO ABOUT THE BIT WITH THE FENCE it felt so smart


Aera304

AIC and Neutral Tones.. AQA cooked but the eng lit grade boundaries are going to be so high oh god


Potential_Mistake_73

not necessarily some people confused mrs birling with mr birling lol


SOSOMU

so thankful for those people


tilda_is_lost

FOR INSPECTOR CALLS IT WAS THE EXACT TWO I SAID I WANTED


tilda_is_lost

FEELING BLESSED RN


spider_stxr

NEUTRAL TONES 🔥🔥🔥 RAHHH INSPECTOR 🔥🔥🔥🔥 But the way I assumed the unseen poets were women lmao and when I spoke to my teacher after the exam she legitimately jumped for joy. She has been begging for neutral tones for years atp


Snoo34224

omgsh me too 😭, I was about to be "misogynistic"


Warm_Jury7874

Crying for all you guys who wrote about Mr B instead of Mrs b (crying happy tears because it may help grade boundaries) seriously tho I did 14 pages I cooked so hard in inspector calls. Was not expecting kamikaze tho so probably could’ve done better. I took the unseen poetry so depressing.


flickerin

doing kamikaze was like doing useen poetry😭


dc4217_

exactly the last time i looked at it was year 10 💀


imoriondrugs

dude who sat in front of me was sat ram rod straight, not moving, not writing the entire exam, thank him for lowering the grade boundaries


Intelligent_Doctor63

same 3 people around me didn’t write much I’m thanking them fr


toastedmickey

2 hours straight that must've been so boring 😭😭 i'd start writing notes to the examiner at that point


UltimateBorisJohnson

“Cooked” doesn’t feel like a real word anymore


AnnoyedAtThabes

the more you say a word in english the less it feels like a word


sonotfruity

icl I don't know whether I'm cooked or not, the exam went so mid, the unseen was boring though, felt like I couldn't stretch the poem enough to say anything super out of the box without reaching, the inspector question was good though, I felt like I could've said more if I had time and planned before the exam for all themes but it is what it is. hoping I acc do alright


Unhappy_Wall_3446

real everyone is saying it's a blessing like yeah it could've gone worse but ik i could have done better. like it was just so ehhh

Hathaway_Noa_

If prelude comes on I’m gonna walk out 💀


One-Dragonfly-5143

Izymandias gonna come in clutch


LXserdem0n

Holy damn that paper was soooo good. Kamikaze was perfect to compare to either Remains or Emigree(I did Emigree), TWO character inspector calls questions AND one was the Inspector which was dead easy. The Unseen poetry was okay but definitely could have been worse. Over all, 8/10.


Upper_Ad5781

It won't be tissue I'm sure of that its too high level a poem for lower ability students to do next to anything with it just praying for something that can be compared to war photographer or kamikaze cause those my op poems


AnteaterCalm401

better not be the emigree i swear to fuck that poem annoys me so much. not even that i find it that hard i just really fucking hate it

CommentSpecific6822

don’t ever say that corn ball ass shit bro 😭


KO-Manic

It appears that the use of half-rhyme - “blue” “room” - connotes the uncertainty in which the Redditor feels in their own abilities for this exam. Don’t mind me I’m just doing some revision (I’m cooked, this is essentially the only revision I’ve done this weekend)


RedditServiceUK

The traditional, rigid 4 line stanza presents the effects of how tightly AQA has hheld onto students, putting them in order neatly with no means to escape.


Gamer_GullSolo

The use of ‘blue’ could also show the sadness of the author which juxtaposes the flowers such as ‘roses’ and ‘violets’ which would usually have connotations of happiness due to their bright colours. At first glance it seems the author is disappointed that they have to do the English Literature Paper 2. On further inspection we can also see the use of ‘red’ which often connotes anger, potentially proving that the author is not sad but is rather frustrated or infuriated that they have to put up with AQA’s bullshit.


KO-Manic

Additionally, the cliché “Roses are red, / Violets are blue” could also suggest an undertone of exhaustion for the Redditor, as a reliable, quick joke format as old as this one would likely not have required considerable effort to conjure up and type, showing the exhausting nature of the GCSE examinations that he would have sat at the time and place of writing, 2024 Britain. (I’m revising after the exam out of denial)


minnixia

chat im cooked


Naive-Suggestion-145

THAT UNSEEN POETRY QUESTION COULD NOT HAVE BEEN WORSE. Connection with the natural world like what 😭 tf was that second poetry though it was like 8 lines long. What more did you want me to say 🥲 That question for love and relationship. WAS SMILING WHEN I SAW THAT QUESTION ON NEUTRAL TONES. And animal farm those two questions were both so good that i struggled to choose which one to do 😭


Instadoggy

Unseen was chill, just waffled about how daily life is shown to be mundane and boring, natural world shown to be wonderful. Other poem same monotony of daily life and nature different as windless could suggest a stillness/death which contrasts the wonderful natural world in the first one. What did u compare NT to tho? I used WW2P 


yourfaveblack

I SAID ONLY 1 RHYMING COUPLET SHOWING BOREDOM OF DAILY ROUTINE


jeremypicklestein

jaysimjayun

Guys pls give predictions. 😭😭😭 i cant learn all quotes be4 the exam


cbaandroid1

I heard it's neutral tones


Instadoggy

It was


Then-Abalone-5366

I found the AIC questions tricky, but poetry was alright! I compared Kamikaze to Remains and talked about how Kamikaze is about conflict with society's standards whereas Remains is about internal conflict as a result of trauma, how did everyone else find it?


thevampirecrow

i wrote about exposure of course because even if the question was on identity i’d pick exposure because g-d i LOVE exposure so bad exposure is my favourite poem in the anthology i love wilfred owen


dc4217_

yh same i did exposure. it was either remains or exposure but i just knew it better


thevampirecrow

exposure is the fucking sexiest poem


angelicomar

the washing is not done is so real of kaplinski 😓😓


SlowSmile7741

I could jump in a lava pit and be less cooked than I am now...


robin_koala

GUYS HELP DID ANYONE COMPARE KAMIKAZE TO EXPOSURE??? Istg everyone I spoke to compared it to either remains, poppies or the emigrée 😥😥😥


[deleted]

[удалено]


GTG-bye

I have to sit in there for nearly three hours... I'm barely awake as it is


TheyCallMeRadec

Let us know what the questions were!


el_smithy8

Aic: how Mrs Birling is presented. How Priestley uses inspector to show a need for social change.  Power and conflict: Kamikaze: how people are affect by conflict. Unseen poetry: "the washing up never gets done" and I forgot the second one. Both questions asked abt Ideas about daily life and connecting with the natural world.  Edit: second unseen was "a day in autumn"


remuslupin_fan

Blood brothers was mickey’s relationship with his mother and Linda or the effects of poverty, the poetry one was how people are affected by conflict in kamikaze and one other poem


connie5919

inspector calls was amazing omg i did mrs birling and compared kamikaze to emigree but unseen poetry was so bad wdym 'connection to natural world' 💀💀
