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?
Briony: I think it's a good question, because it would let you explore what she did wrong, and the different 'methods' in which Briony seeked atonement. Also, it would also be arguable, so it would allow you to look at both sides of the argument. And, it would let you look at the whole book, not only part 1, 2 or 3, which would be good for Criterion A.
ReplyDeleteCecilia: OK question, allows you to look closely at language, so it's good for Criterion B, and also let you argue on whether she is immature or not, and how she changes throughout the book.
Paul Marshall: Good question because it's very specific, so it directs you to what your IOP should concentrate on. It'll also let you look closely at the characterisation of Paul Marshall, and look at in detail at the language that McEwan uses to describe Paul Marshall.
