    In the comparative section paper 2 I don't have a clue how answering styles should vary depending on whether the question is based on Themes and Issues, Literary Genre and Cultural Context.

    Anyone got any advice?

    I dont study either of these in my course but i was told to use key words in the essay such as : Similar to ... & In comparison ... to link each of these texts because when an examiner sees these they will give u marks
    NO MARKS FOR SUMMERISING THE TEXTS!!

    yeah, i have no problems answering questions normally I just don't know the difference between different headings


    I really gotta hope Donne comes up on my mock cause he's all I got done and it would be pointless cramming anyone else in now because it would be half assed learning that I'd forget in a week
