To anyone doing English literature next year, you’re doing the right thing by watching these videos! In my mock I received a grade 4 (D) and was so disheartened. However I started watching these videos as well as working really hard to get better. In my exam in May I got a grade 8. In paper 2 I received 30/30 marks on the anthology question, so watch those videos as well. Work hard and you can definitely do well!
Edit- I also received a great 8 for English language in my GCSE’s so once again mr bluff works if you put in the effort!
That's great: well done!
BAS 18 well done 🎊
Grade 8 that is amazing!!!
BAS 18 well done babes
I have my English MOCK tomorrow, wish me luck
Definitely worth while watching Mr Bruffs videos. I did my gcses last year and got an 8 in English lit. I consistently watched these vidoes and this is the best source of revision. Your helping everyone Mr Bruff so I thank you
Thank you and well done!
Truth.
cmonn classes of 2020, we've got this
update: nvm
C'mon 🙏
shut the fuck up
Let's gooo

@@fatapes5068 year 10 and 11
Same
Omg this is amazing!! Came like 3 days before my mock (we've been told the question is on scrooge as an outsider) tysmmm
this video was amazing: no intro and diving right in, it was quick yet filled with well paced and useful information and gave us all things like quotes and what they mean. Thank you
These are amazing videos, although barely anyone in my school knows about you. Our whole family line pretty much use you for our english gcse. It's my time now. You have been helping us for about 6 years. I sure will spread word around you in our school!
Good timing especially when I have a Lit exam (Yr 10) in 2 weeks
Arzzier year 10 don’t matter
L2a Luke and alex it’s still good to start revising early I wish I did
This is sooo helpful, thank you. We watch some of your videos in our english class because everyone loves you. :)
This really helped me with my gcse i got all nines in my english and the teahcers say that when theyre was questions on the christmas carol i answered them PERFECTLY
If only Mr bruff can swap brains with me for exams. :(
BTW your analysis is amazing
no capppppp
Thank you so much for the playlist. I'm in year 9 and I'm stressed about english gcses. But thankfully I found your videos which helped me a lot.
Sweat
it’s year 9 it’s not deep😭
honestly mate dw abt exams in year 9 it's fine as long as you do the work and make sure you have a general understanding of what you're being taught then ur good
You’re a hero for this
I'm glad it is useful.
got me a 9 in my literature mock :’) thank you man
How did your end of year exam go chickensalad1991?
Im in my 2nd year if my english and politics degree and im still subbed!
Thanks!
Right, who disliked this then?
People who failed lol
@jack Sparrow what an excuse
@@ayaanyousuf6999 people who watched this at LEAST passed......right?
Me
Dickens even hates this
Guy: give some money
Scrooge: uh no🚫
What does 2019 tell us about 2020 ?
It was worse than 2019
I am literally doing a GCSE mock on this in like 2 hours
I am very thankful for this video
everyone from my school would be v grateful if you could do a video on the themes of christmas, redemption, and poverty
What about Scrooge being characterised as a redeemed soul over the course of the novella?
Please can you make videos on the themes in a Christmas carol?
This video was absolutely amazing, the playlist will massively help with my mock. I'll update with what I get.
These videos were honestly so great, watched them the morning b4 the exam and they were really helpful, im hoping for a 6 and will be back on results day to say my results 😌
thank you for this it really helps me can you make a video on macbeth because i'm finding it hard in school i do not understand the words so if you don't mind can you please? And William Shakespeare has the same birthday as me!!!
I have 50+ videos on Macbeth already! Check the playlists.
@@mrbruff alright thanks didn't know!
GCSE 2021 where u atttttttt
I bought your books from Amazon and they are so good helping improve at English
Great!
Thank you so much for this!
thank you so much for your videos, they have really helped me out with revision for my mock exams.
Great to hear!
mr bruff knows his stuff, thanks sir
Thank you for the encouragement!
I have my final exam on Wednesday, so thanks for the extra revision!
Happy to help!
Thank you so much for this! I'm doing my GCSE's in May and I'm starting my revision early so this was really useful. Do you think you could do some videos on A Taste Of Honey, I'm doing that play as well for GCSE but I cant find anything on TH-cam that can help my revision for it. I dont think many schools do it to be honest, but we do and I could really use the help. Thank you!!
I’m afraid I’ve not read it.
Thanks you Mr Bruff
Hi Mr. Bruff, I know this comment is nothing to do with A Christmas Carol, but for An Inspector Calls I am trying to revise by doing different scene analysis to break it down and I am really struggling to do that with only acts. I am finding A Christmas Carol and Macbeth easy to analyze because you are uploading the analysis scene by scene whereas An Inspector Calls is fairly difficult to do that without having the scenes. Please help! Thank you so much!
Well if you watch my videos on AIC, you can pause after each point and note down which Act it is in if that helps?
@@mrbruffokay thank you, I shall try that and see how that goes. I am really happy I discovered your channel, i am taking the English literature paper 2 mock on the 3rd of December so I hope I will do well because of the amount your channel has helped me!
@@liamjamesstudios How did you do?
@@maximillianmus4273 it was alright section C was a bit difficult but other than that it was fine
@@liamjamesstudios what were the questions
Best analysis ever
is anyone making notes while watching like I am
lol im literally writing down what he says word to word for each question and paragraphing it and then memorizing it
That's the best way to learn
annnndd now it's all meaningless because we're not taking exams anymore! :)))
Right here, my friend.
Yr9. At home. Bored as hell, shortage of staff as many got notification from track&trace app at same time, so have been off school 3 days each week, this is the third week of this. Help me.

Is it ok to use long quotes when answering an exam question?
I think you have to shorten them or something.
Make them as short as possible otherwise they become impossible to dissect without being very convoluted and your sentences will probably end up being grammatically incorrect and you'll make a mess of it. So focus on one or two words at a time
My teacher told me with the long quotes you have to put an ellipses … to represent the part of the quote you dont want included in what you are zooming in to. Key words and phrases are all you want of a quote. Hope this helps! :)
Faatimah Ahmad so for @3:32 if i wrote “ I went forth last night on compulsion... let me profit by it” would that be correct for shortening down a quote?
Denise Smallworlds you use (...)
Who's done the Eng Lit Paper 1 for OCR and what where the questions that came up for Macbeth and The Christmas Carol
Cheers this should help for tommorows mock
Can you make a mind map for each of the significant characters from Christmas carol
Revisiting before the mocks, very helpful :D
I actually love you so much
Sir, could you make a video for us of the character joe who sold scrooge's cloth after he passed.
I'm afraid not.
@@mrbrufffair enough, not enough information on that character to make a video
helpful
Hi Mr. Bruff, I need help with English language paper 2, so I was wondering if you could make a video about it. Thank you
Take a look at my playlists - I've got videos going through all the questions on paper 2.
Thank you loving these vedios!!
I have my paper 1 exam in a few hours aaaaaaaaa
Please can you make some videos on blood brothers?
I have one video on this in the student exemplar playlist.
5:38 facts my man, facts
Once you’re done with A Christmas Carol, please do Macbeth.
I have 50+ videos on Macbeth.
mrbruff can you send me a link of the playlists from a Christmas carol I don’t understand
Megan Lazenby I meant a Christmas carol but I need to use this soon anyway so thanks
Yeetus Beetus no problem
while all of this is valid, in my opinion these imageries all contradict themselves, and shows the character development over time, for instace, flint has a much softer core showing how his heart softens over time, so i do not think that it is valid to descrie him as hard, and use flint to say it.
Why couldn’t a have done this it’s me fav Christmas film the muppets one every Christmas Eve we watch it
I got all the bad ones
Macbeth
An inspector calls
Jekyll and Hyde
😒
I love mr bruff
When are you covering the themes ?
There are already some on themes such as loneliness, time and ignorance and want. Possibly more to follow!
Very useful thank you
Scrooge also said I'm as Giddy as a Drunken Man, Denoting that Scrooge is Drunk on the Lessons learned and Drunk on Life.
Am I the only one that prefered Scrooge prior to the transformation?
Fr, christmas has a dark backstory.
Ma’am gave this for literature:)
yr10 check
we are all using this for ELA class
Who else is going into y11 without learning a Christmas Carol during lockdown?
Mee got a test on it tomo
ilysm
It took me an hour and ten minutes to take notes on this I’m done for lol
Everything is written down in my revision guides (linked in the description) for this very reason.
Cool video bro.
Year 10 homework hear I come my Sunday night is ruined.... I did this the night before lmfao 🤣
thanks
Can u give it by writing ✍️ 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
where's the 2023 gang at ?
i am doing this for my teacher, I am in year 7
0:54 this is shown rather than implied because it talks about flint and fire in the next line 'from which no fire was ever struck'
hey again! is this the top set analysis👇? also, would you prefer watching the top set analysis or this video?? thanks!!
th-cam.com/video/e98F6whQUFM/w-d-xo.html
All of the animated videos contain ‘top set’ analysis.
@@mrbruff thanks a lot!!! but what would you recommend? like which video do you think is better for taking notes??

hi mr bruff, i'd greatly appreciate if you could mark this response to paper 1 question 2 to give me an approximate mark/band so i can see where i am working at and what to improve.
Thanks, and sorry if i took your time
the extract for this response is from russia with love by ian fleming chapter 13, or you could find it here gutenberg.ca/ebooks/flemingi-fromrussiawithlove/flemingi-fromrussiawithlove-00-h.html#tocchapter13
How does the
writer use language to describe the effects of the storm?
The writer uses dark imagery to convey the effects of the storm on the plane. For example,
the writer personifies the rain to be “hammering” on the windows, implying that
it was viciously attacking the vulnerable windows. The verb “hammered” connotes
penetration, as if the rain is trying to break inside the plane, like a burglar
breaking into his victim’s house. It is almost as if the rain was given a great
power by the mighty storm, which it should not normally have. This creates a
sense of aggression to the reader. Moreover, the plane “heaved” and “bucketed”.
These dynamic verbs portray the weakness and fragility of the plane as it helplessly
struggles to remain stable. It also creates an image of the plane involuntarily
devastated by the storm, almost like it jerks and spasms as if in terrible agony
- like someone suffering a terrible seizure.
In addition, the writer emphasises how terrifying the storm must have been for the
passengers. For instance, he uses a violent verb when he states the storm had “ambushed”
them, hinting that the storm could eliminate the passengers without them even
realising. Also indicating that the passengers had no chance of protection. As
if all that was left for them was to pray and hope to live another day. As a
result of this, the reader may feel concerned for the potentially gloomy fate of
the passengers. Furthermore, it is stated that bond smelt “something like the
sweat and electricity you get in an amusement arcade” this simile heightens the
tense atmosphere inside the plane. It shows that even the “danger” could be
smelt, the repetition of the “smell” reinforces the reality of the scene,
showing that it is undoubtedly unfolding before their eyes - because your senses
can not lie. The abstract noun “sweat” could represent the panic and anxiety
felt by the passengers, while the noun “electricity” might symbolise the danger
and severity of the storm.
2 pages of notes of a 5 min video
ok now thats so true
i watched videos from dystopiajunkie which is pretty good too however he does each stave separately and each vid is like 25min long
one video only gives me 2 pages
and this 5min video gave me the same amount with the same quality!!
