Q1 - ensure the information comes from the specified lines (not the introductory box)
- ensure you only make one point per line (e.g. he has inky fingers and bitten nails is two points and should be made in two lines: he has inky fingers/ he has bitten nails)
- keep it simple: take the phrases directly from the passage in a way that they make sense standing alone
Q2 - you must give an overarching answer to the question before launching into identification and analysis of language devices. This overarching answer is your 'anchor' and all of your analysis must tie back to this.
This question requires one overarching answer and three quotes that back this up. for example: Brighton is described positively as a place of beauty and intrigue as shown in thr writers use of word choice: "sparkled" "glittering" "silver". If you then analysed the connotations of each of these words and linked back to the overarching answer you would get 8 marks.
You could of course have an overarching answer that Brighton is described negatively and refer to the word choice of: "bewildered" "pale" and "lost"
But the formula is:
Overarching answer, three quotes/ devices that do this and analysis of the three.
