COMMENTS ON MY IOP and IOP QUESTIONS ON EACH CHARACTER.

Criterion A: I have analysed on how McEwan portrayed war through the main characters. I looked on the effects that each character has on the novel to depict war, and looked at how war existed not only on the battlefield, but also within them.

Criterion B: I did not analyse the extracts and the quotations well, but I have analyse a couple poem extracts to depict WWI and the Edwardian society. I have not used a lot of literary techniques and devices. I should have commented more on the work of McEwan, rather than focusing on the characters themselves.

Criterion C: I have not have a logical structure, sometimes there are still confusions within my IOP.

Criterion D: The language in my IOP is not considered very advanced, and I have not used various literary terms.

BRIONY: To what extent does Briony achieve atonement in the novel?

CECILIA: How is Cecilia described as immature through looking at her actions, behaviours and attitude?

PAUL MARSHALL: By having a close discussion on Paul Marshall’s class status, why do you think class divisions lead the Tallis family to misinterpret Paul Marshall, resulting in Lola sexual invasion?

Comments on my IOP

Comments on my IOP

Criterion A: I think I had a lot of connection back to the Edwardian idea, where masculinity was dominance and how the genders were being reversed. I had very extensive quotations to prove my points

Criterion B: I believe I have put a lot of personal though into this IOP, many of the sentences later on starts with “I think” and “I believe” which emphasis my personal view on the specific topic. I also analyze literary techniques that were shown in the quotations I choose as a bonus.

Criterion C: I think I fell down a bit on structure, but I tried my best to make my structure clear and well-built by introducing clearly at the start of each new section. I also had a clear introduction and conclusion to initiate and end the flow of the IOP.

Criterion D: Most of the language I choose to use in the IOP was quite complex and had a flourishing element to them; which helped boost the flow of the IOP in general.

Comments on my IOP and questions on characters in Atonement.

Criterion A: I looked at the novel in context of society in World War One, the Edwardian period, and I looked at many parts of the novel, not only concentrating on one part.

Criterion B: I did analyse the quotations pretty well, but I could identify more literary techniques and analyse in greater details the quotations. And also consider the intentions of Barker, rather than only considering the character.

Criterion C: I think I did follow a logical structure, and that there is an argument being made towards the end. However, I should link back to the argument that Rivers is regenerated throughout my IOP.

Criterion D: I didn't use much literary terms, but my style and register is appropriate.

Questions:

Cecilia: What are the changes in Cecilia throughout the novel? How is Cecilia characterized by Ian McEwan in the novel?

Briony: To what extent is Briony atoned in the novel Atonement? How does the author Ian McEwan uses Briony to foreshadow the events that are to come in the novel?

Paul Marshall: What is the significant of Paul Marshall to the novel Atonement? What is the author trying to depict through the character Paul Marshall?
