Answer 1

Hi



well my advice would be to search it on google

Answer 2

Say the question is something like "how is imagery used / how does the author show..." 1. Look at your 4 poems. Look for a pattern. Maybe 2 or 3 of them use a similar style e.g. they use a recurring image. Can you find words which are repeated throughout the poems? Explain why this image is used (e.g. to evoke a certain memory, to convey a certain sense or mood). This is one section (not necessarily one paragraph. You might want to break it up into smaller paragraphs). 2. New section. Does 1 or more poem use a different image or style to evoke the modd/image which you have described in section 1. Explain what the difference is and how it is used. 3. New section. Do 1 or more of your poems have the same theme (e.g. the poet's mother, the countryside) but describe them in different ways? Describe the similarities and differences AND what the effect of using the same or different ideas is (do the poems give you a different view of e.g. the mother? Does the second poem reinforce the idea of the first?) the question will tell you how many poems you need to compare. If it says at least 2, you will probably need three (the third should be the one that has differences to the others) the key words are SIMILARITIES and DIFFERENCES. Good luck :)

Answer 3

You should discuss the memory from your point of view. Maybe if other people remember different aspects you could throw that in too.



Don't forget to say how it made you feel at the time, immedaitely afterwards, and now further along in your life. What impacts it has had on you as a person, and maybe changed you?



How your persepctive of the memory has changed over the years and maybe what you felt once is not what you feel now. Whether there are any photos or proof to go with your memory, or have you adapted the story as you got older?

Answer 4

Think of some momentous occaision - and describe it it chronologically in detail.



Some memories stick in the mind better than others - being orphaned comes pretty high on the list or having a relative paralysed by a stroke, or death of a sibling. Being invoved in a car smash also stays in the mind (surprisingly as if in slow motion).



How about a holiday that you enjoyed or a trip to an amusement park ? - something you can recall in detail and that someone else will want to read about. something that you were wowwed out about - if you can capture that kind of feeling an convey it - you will pretty much be there.
