Hi sir and great video, really appreciate you doing all this for all of us. Just a question, so u know for the inspector calls question, is it true that there is always a choice between a character question and always a theme question. As for poetry, i am planning to revise by essentially pairing up all the poems, and then just writing model answers and hoping that i can recall them on the day of the exam. That way whatever the poem, ill have a model answer ready. Is this a good strategy? Only doing it as i am limited on time. Only have 1 day left for poetry allocated in my revision timetable.
MR SALLES! Please could you do a predicted question video for macbeth ,an inspector calls , jekyll and hyde and power and conflict poetry thanks pleaseeeee asap
Good afternoon Mr Salles, do you think they could ask something relevant to how Macbeth is influenced to do the things he does and if so could they link that to free will and fate or the witches or turn it into a comparison between Banquo and Macbeth or even Lady Macbeth? What’s your opinion on this? Thank you!
Hi Mr Salles, thank you for the video as always. You have been of great help for me especially since i really dont enjoy english at all, maybe due to the layout of exams, etc. I have a question though to do with the power and conflict poetry essay guide that i have bought. I understand that the essays are comparison essays for each pair of poems, which you have already paired up in the book in long and short versions. However from what i see, it's been set out so that in each essay it analyses a single poem, before moving onto the next and analysing it in its own respect without much comparison. Are we supposed to rewrite them as comparative essays ourselves or am i missing something?
No, if you look at what I write about the second poem, it always compares back to the first. This is very much the easiest way to compare. However, it is perfectly possible to compare a point from one poem, with a point from the next, for all your points. Which ever method you prefer works. Thanks for buying the book!
@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish Ohhhhhh, ok thank you mr salles. I was confused since the way we've been taught is to embed your comparison throughout your answer, and we've been told that's the method that gets more marks, which always annoyed me a little bit as it is somewhat difficult to do. Thanks so much sir, really appreciate all of this. Just hope i do well in the exams - really dreading english literature.
Hi Could I please send you some English Grade 9 essays that you could show to others as help with revision. Thank you. Also, what is your TH-cam work email? Thanks.
hi sir, i’ve been watching your videos from year 10 but i’ve been stuck on a grade 7+ in literature throughout the past 2 years, i never seem to get the extra edge but i get a 9 in language. my teacher is not very clear with the structure of a literature essay: he either says that it’s your ideas which are most important but then the next day he might say your quote analysis is. can you clarify what should be most significant in my essay?
Your logical argument first, so the order of each point, quote and context to prove your point, detailed analysis of 1-2 quotes second, having 13-15 quotes third.
@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish thank you so much, i have the skills but i just struggle to structure them but that helped a lot! in my unseen poetry i got 22/24 but 21/30 on my AIC mostly because i wasn’t sure how to structure my arguement :)
hey, your videos have been really helpful and I have my real thing this summer. what advice do you have to make sure I get 7s and above like I have been in mocks I'm aiming for 8/9 particularly in literature
Hi Mr Salles. I did my lit paper 2 and i got a grade 5 on it. I believed i didnt deserve to because i felt like i put a lot of work into it. Do you have any general tips onto how to develo analysis as that was what brought my grade down cause i got level 5 in AO1 level 4 in AO2 level 3 in AO3 for AIC and P&C. Thank you
Yes, learn a thesis statement for each text, with 3 of the author’s ideas in it. Find a key moment from each text to use to show each idea. Write a paragraph on each. Keep testing yourself on these paragraphs till you remember them for each essay you write.
Hi Mr salles, thanks for you videos. Pls could you make predictions videos for AIC, Jekyll and Hyde and Romeo and Juliet - it would be so, so helpful. Thanks
Hello Mr Salles, do you have a text for A level, The Tempest that I can purchase please? I know you do a lot of GCSE, but I would like to buy resources specific to AQA A level, The Tempest. If you don't, could you recommend a online resource I can purchase? Thank you for all your amazing video's too, I just love your analyses, always so interesting and helpful.
I dont know whether its relevant but for mrs birling ive always had this idea that her refuses eva/daisy was decently justified Because imagine someone comes to your charity and their name is exactly as yours and they are using it mockingly Seems reasonable to refuse even if she is in need
Does she use it mockingly? And is it really justification for refusing charity? I do think there is some justification for Mrs Burling‘s reaction, because it is clear that Eva has lied to her. This is Priestley’s point. Unemployment benefit is not given to people, simply because they have good moral character, it is given to them because they need it in order to survive. The moral choice of society outweighs the moral choice of the individual.
hi mr salles, i hope you are well... I just wanted to ask for the poetry comparison question, will we be given the whole poem for the one that's asked in the question or was it just the previous years that were provided with the poem?
Hi, my highest is a 23/30 on essay but I'd love to try push my self for 25 or 26. I am good at analysis and context but I still can't get into higher marks. My question is, I don't understand how to make my writing critical over understanding? Also I love your videos so much you have helped me boost my grades so much thank u!!!
I know this may seem a bit of a silly question, but I always struggle with sentence openers to make my points stand out, they tend to always be basic. Have you got any suggestions??
For unseen poetry do you need to write a thesis statement and conclusion and how many paragraphs would you recommend for top marks? Also is it necessary to have conclusions for any other English literature essays?
I don’t get it when you say “the reason Eric can’t change the future is because he would’ve died at war”, how do you know he couldn’t change the future?
Hi sir other than practice essays what would you say is the best revision to be doing at this point before the exams? I just got your guides and found your channel about month ago so I probably won't have time to go through everything is there anything you'd say to prioritise? thanks
Hello, I am desperate for help. I am sitting 2023 gcse Could someone please have a look and give me some comment ? It will be of great help to me. 🙏 In Priestley's allegorical morality play, Priestley uses the contrast of the exploitation on lower class by upper class due to higher statues and more privilege, to compare with hardworking attitude of the lower class which builds up a responsible and good society, to teach the Edwardian audience, especially the upper class to take up social responsibility to build up a more fair and equal society, preventing tragedy like the ‘titanic’. One of the main characters, Mr. Birling, is presented as an ignorant character who is blinded by the ridiculous capitalist views. In stave 1, when Mr. Birling refers to the community as ‘bees in a hive’ if the people are all ‘mixed up together’, we can see that Mr. Birling is mocking the proletariat by using zoomorphism and degrading them as ‘bees’. However, his words are very ironic as ‘bees’ are very hardworking, helping each other to build a strong community, which are all very excellent qualities that lead to a better life for all of them. ‘Bees in a hive’ also symbolizes the working class, as they are the fundamental part in the society, and they work hard for capitalism so capitalism gains ‘a higher profit’, including Mr. Birling. However, here we can see that Mr. Birling is totally dismissive of the working class and calls the community ‘nonsense’. Besides, Inspector Goole then refers the death of Eva Smith as caused by ‘a chain of event’. This shows how little event of mistreatment can have a devastative consequence, Eva’s suicide, which is caused by the unimportance put on Eva by the Birlings and Gerald, including low wage, firing Eva just because of jealousy of beauty, sexual exploitation, and refusal of help. The actions all Birlings and Gerald have done show that they are totally uncared for by Eva as she is just a ‘girl from that class’. In addition, the symbolism’ a chain of events’ can also present the effect of lower class can have on upper class, if the lower class is the start in the ‘chain’, they can affect all the ‘events’ faced by the upper class afterwards .Priestley uses the construct of the Birlings and Gerald, as a representation of the bourgeoisie, presenting how ignorant they are as they think the working class is unimportant, though in fact the working class has huge importance to them. Perhaps Priestley wants the 1945 Edwardian audience to be complete distasted with the working class, and support for the Labour Party in the 1945 election, to bring an equality in the society which the working class can gain more respect and importance despite their low status. Priestley also conveys the hierarchy which is built by the upper class to get higher profit, reflected by Mr. Birling’s line ‘it’s my duty to keep cost down’, can have destructive result on all the people in the society. The business noun ‘duty’ is almost dehumanizing the lower class, showing that the upper class utterly doesn’t care about the lower class who are just a tool to get more money for them, to enjoy life no matter how terrible the working condition of lower class is. One of the consequences of the unimportance put on lower class is the ‘Titantic’ which is seen as ‘totally unsinkable’ in the eye of Mr. Birling. This totally shows how ignorant and ridiculous Mr. Birling is through the dramatic irony, making the Edwardian distrusts him and distastes the capitalist views, and incline towards Priestley’s socialist view to be ‘bees in the hive’ and helping each other's. Also, the tragedy of the ‘Titanic’ sinking later is a symbolism of the idea that the society will be also sunken and destroyed if the hierarchy is maintained, just like the three decks for upper, middle, and lower classes in the ‘Titanic’. In addition, Priestley is teaching the Edwardian audience to work to reduce the difference between gap in society by paying them high wage and treating them better, and the most important thing is changing their view and get rid of ‘pink, intimate light’ which symbolizes ignorance with Inspector Goole as a mouthpiece. The Inspector said, ‘if men doesn't learn the lesson’, the society will end in ‘fire and blood and anguish’. Th violence imagery is an allusion to the Bible and symbolizing the world wars, presenting if upper class doesn’t change, more wars will be caused and eventually lead to the destruction of society. Perhaps Priestley is teaching the Edwardian audience that their views and perspective on the working class must be changed, that they should value the working class better and put more importance on them, to achieve a peaceful society and get rid of any unnecessary life loss.

@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish thank youuu!!!
Mr Salles, do you do English literature predictions for EDUQAS exam board???
No
I know this may seem a bit of a silly question, but I always struggle with sentence openers to make my points stand out, they tend to always be basic. Have you got any suggestions??
Your point stands out with your interpretation after the quote. How you start the point doesn’t matter!
Is the guide to 100% in English Language the same as all the separate smaller books for each question or are they different ?
Different- the smaller books are totally up-to-date, whereas I wrote the English language guide when this new GCSE first came out.
@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish hello, should we not buy it then?
Would you ever consider doing alevel videos? I used to get 9/8s at gcse but now I'm really struggling
Send me an A level essay you’ve written and I’ll do my best

Hi sir, is it possible if you could make predictions on the 2023 exams
Hi sir, how do I answer questions if they ask how a character like Sheila has changed throughout the play?
Characters Must Change!
hi sir can you please show us how to structure our essays and paragraphs as thats what i struggle with??
I have videos on that already
For unseen poetry do you need to write a thesis statement and conclusion and how many paragraphs would you recommend for top marks? Also is it necessary to have conclusions for any other English literature essays?
All essays need a conclusion and thesis statement. Without them they are not essays, just a list of ideas
I don’t get it when you say “the reason Eric can’t change the future is because he would’ve died at war”, how do you know he couldn’t change the future?
Because of the symbolism of the second phone call
Are these quotes you can use for the whole AIC or just quoted for the Inspector
The inspector quotes fit every essay!
@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish thanks because I am going to learn these 10 quotes only
Hi sir other than practice essays what would you say is the best revision to be doing at this point before the exams? I just got your guides and found your channel about month ago so I probably won't have time to go through everything is there anything you'd say to prioritise? thanks
Practice essays are the best. Prioritise the main characters and themes and write about them in the same essays
@@MrSallesTeachesEnglish thank you!

Hello, I am desperate for help. I am sitting 2023 gcse
Could someone please have a look and give me some comment ? It will be of great help to me. 🙏
In Priestley's allegorical morality play, Priestley uses the contrast of the exploitation on lower class by upper class due to higher statues and more privilege, to compare with hardworking attitude of the lower class which builds up a responsible and good society, to teach the Edwardian audience, especially the upper class to take up social responsibility to build up a more fair and equal society, preventing tragedy like the ‘titanic’.
One of the main characters, Mr. Birling, is presented as an ignorant character who is blinded by the ridiculous capitalist views. In stave 1, when Mr. Birling refers to the community as ‘bees in a hive’ if the people are all ‘mixed up together’, we can see that Mr. Birling is mocking the proletariat by using zoomorphism and degrading them as ‘bees’. However, his words are very ironic as ‘bees’ are very hardworking, helping each other to build a strong community, which are all very excellent qualities that lead to a better life for all of them. ‘Bees in a hive’ also symbolizes the working class, as they are the fundamental part in the society, and they work hard for capitalism so capitalism gains ‘a higher profit’, including Mr. Birling. However, here we can see that Mr. Birling is totally dismissive of the working class and calls the community ‘nonsense’. Besides, Inspector Goole then refers the death of Eva Smith as caused by ‘a chain of event’. This shows how little event of mistreatment can have a devastative consequence, Eva’s suicide, which is caused by the unimportance put on Eva by the Birlings and Gerald, including low wage, firing Eva just because of jealousy of beauty, sexual exploitation, and refusal of help. The actions all Birlings and Gerald have done show that they are totally uncared for by Eva as she is just a ‘girl from that class’. In addition, the symbolism’ a chain of events’ can also present the effect of lower class can have on upper class, if the lower class is the start in the ‘chain’, they can affect all the ‘events’ faced by the upper class afterwards .Priestley uses the construct of the Birlings and Gerald, as a representation of the bourgeoisie, presenting how ignorant they are as they think the working class is unimportant, though in fact the working class has huge importance to them. Perhaps Priestley wants the 1945 Edwardian audience to be complete distasted with the working class, and support for the Labour Party in the 1945 election, to bring an equality in the society which the working class can gain more respect and importance despite their low status.
Priestley also conveys the hierarchy which is built by the upper class to get higher profit, reflected by Mr. Birling’s line ‘it’s my duty to keep cost down’, can have destructive result on all the people in the society. The business noun ‘duty’ is almost dehumanizing the lower class, showing that the upper class utterly doesn’t care about the lower class who are just a tool to get more money for them, to enjoy life no matter how terrible the working condition of lower class is. One of the consequences of the unimportance put on lower class is the ‘Titantic’ which is seen as ‘totally unsinkable’ in the eye of Mr. Birling. This totally shows how ignorant and ridiculous Mr. Birling is through the dramatic irony, making the Edwardian distrusts him and distastes the capitalist views, and incline towards Priestley’s socialist view to be ‘bees in the hive’ and helping each other's. Also, the tragedy of the ‘Titanic’ sinking later is a symbolism of the idea that the society will be also sunken and destroyed if the hierarchy is maintained, just like the three decks for upper, middle, and lower classes in the ‘Titanic’. In addition, Priestley is teaching the Edwardian audience to work to reduce the difference between gap in society by paying them high wage and treating them better, and the most important thing is changing their view and get rid of ‘pink, intimate light’ which symbolizes ignorance with Inspector Goole as a mouthpiece. The Inspector said, ‘if men doesn't learn the lesson’, the society will end in ‘fire and blood and anguish’. Th violence imagery is an allusion to the Bible and symbolizing the world wars, presenting if upper class doesn’t change, more wars will be caused and eventually lead to the destruction of society. Perhaps Priestley is teaching the Edwardian audience that their views and perspective on the working class must be changed, that they should value the working class better and put more importance on them, to achieve a peaceful society and get rid of any unnecessary life loss.
