'Imagination is more important than knowledge.' - Albert Einstein

Sunday 12 February 2012

Still having trouble with your essay plan?

Consider the following things:

What do we mean by ‘settings’? Some suggestions from our lessons were:

  • · The era (Elizabethan and Victorian e.g. who has power)
  • · The houses (Capulet’s mansion; Satis House)
  • · The rooms (the street; Capulet’s room; Juliet’s room; Juliet’s tomb)

How do these different settings influence Capulet and Miss Havisham in how they treat others? You could think about:

  • · Why both characters treat their daughters as possessions
  • · What each of them think about relationships and love
  • · Whether either of them ‘learn’ anything from what they have done

Remember that EVERY paragraph must have a quotation as EVIDENCE and you must analyse the language in the EXPLANATION (say how the words or language technique suggests something about the characters.

PEEC PARAGRAPHS

  • · POINT
  • · EVIDENCE
  • · EXPLANATION
  • · CONTEXT
