    Its the easiest by a long way out of the three. I wish Cultural context was up for us too, it seems really easy! Typical!

    But anyway, its not likely because it came up last year, but of course your gonna get 2/3 so its something you should study...

    I'm hoping it will come up. I don't really know how to approach the other types of comparative questions.

    Anyone got some tips for me, on how to answer lit genre/vision and viewpoint?

    for lit genre..
    just some basic points to consider...

    NARRATION....................... omniscient/third person etc

    CHRONOLOGY.....................linear/time span/flash backs

    LANGUAGE.........................dialogue/discriptive/close up shots,stage directions

    HUMOUR...........................type of humour used/black comedy/farse etc

    compare with these aspects in mind.. i hope thats what your looking for! :)

    Theme or Issue and Literary Genre both came up last year... So it looks like General Vision and Viewpoint is the likely one this year

    Ya know when they say refer to a "key moment" what exactly constitutes a key moment? Do you think if you just made lotsa little references to things in the texts thatd itd be ok?

    I think a key moment is anything that you see as important in the text. It could be anything so long as you explain why it is key.
