 Hello, hello, welcome, welcome, welcome to yet another poetry revision live. So guys, today is gonna be the last day I go over power and conflict because I went over it yesterday. I put up a poll and people still voted for yet another power and conflict live where I go over a worked model response. Obviously, as you can see on the board, I've basically kind of set out a plan just to show you guys how you can structure a response and more generally just a general idea of how to structure any power and conflict response. But then I'm gonna specifically relate it to how you can write about the question that came up in the 2022 exam, okay? So what I'm gonna begin by doing is walking you guys through this plan and then afterwards, I will literally work you through a live model response for the 2022 exam, okay? So guys, welcome to yet another GCSE revision live. Now, when it comes to the 2022 exam for power and conflict, as I mentioned, I'm gonna be going over how to answer that exam, but more generally, for those of you that are doing power and conflict on Wednesday, how you can structure your response. So my approach when it comes to power and conflict and what I suggest when writing a response for any power and conflict poem is always try and go for three major kind of chunky paragraphs, okay? So when it comes to power and conflict, it was given one main poem and then you compare it with another poem. Now, my suggestion when approaching any question that comes up is, of course, be aware that there are four general themes that are gonna be tested on. And I went over this yesterday, okay? So the four general theme could either be power. So how is power shown? Either say power of the government, power of institution, power of individuals, okay? So for example, in poems like London, My Last Duchess, that's the first major theme. The second theme is to do with nature. So yesterday in my live, I talked about how you can talk about nature and the poems that you can discuss. And I gave a specific example of Storm of the Island and how you can compare Storm of the Island with the prelude, for instance, if that came up. The third theme is to do with war slash conflict, which is what I'm gonna be looking at today. So how you can write about this theme and more specifically the question that came up in 2022. And of course, the fourth and final theme is identity, okay? So you could anticipate one of these themes coming up. So the question is always thematically based. You're then asked to focus on like one poem and then it's up to you to choose from the other remaining 14 poems, which is the best comparison. Now, let's talk about the 2022 exam and the question that came up. And I'll show you how with that structure, literally just apply a similar structure for any power and conflict question, okay? So in terms of approaching power and conflict poetry, my suggestion is always go for three body paragraphs. It could either be similarity, similarity difference between two poems or difference, difference, difference or a mix of both, okay? The question doesn't always ask you or never ask you to say, okay, either only talk about similarities or only talk about differences, okay? Meaning that let's say you get a question where you've got like a really nice overlap with another poem. So yes, say for example, I was talking about Storm of the Island and it has some really, really nice similarities and overlaps with prelude. If you decide you wanna just purely talk about similarities, write similarity one, two and three and then just develop your response based on that, then go for it, okay? And obviously if you wanna talk about very contrasting poems and talk about only differences, you can do that as well as of course, as long as of course you mentioned context, you also show an awareness of terminology and you obviously can show that you've memorized quotations from the second poem in addition to the first poem, okay? So as you can see behind me, I've put together like a plan. When it comes to the power and conflict and the question that came up in last year's exam paper, okay? So people who were sitting this exam in your position last year, this is what they had to answer. So I'm gonna walk through this particular plan and then I'm gonna literally move my phone and then show you guys how I would approach actually answering and writing these three separate paragraphs. So the question itself that came up last year is how poets present ideas about conflict in their net charge and one other poem. And I've underlined this because this is the keyword, this is the theme, right? So when literally you almost want to be like a bloodhound in your exam on Wednesday morning, right? So when you're answering, you know, you've flipped over, you've finished off your modern texts and then you've then gone into poetry and the theme poetry question. Now you're almost looking for the theme, right? And as I mentioned, you're either gonna look for a power theme, a conflict theme and nature theme or identity theme. And of course in this question, the theme that came up is how conflict is illustrated. Now, in terms of generally structuring your responses, always start your first paragraph as kind of your major paragraph, talking about context, okay? So you either talk about similarity in both, whichever poem that you've decided to select, as well as the other poem, but consider making it a context point, okay? So how does this illustrate the context that the poet in both poems want to illustrate, okay? So for example, let me walk you guys through how this plays out in bear net charge, okay? So of course this question has to do with conflict. How is conflict illustrated in bear net charge? Now when it comes to this initial paragraph, which is gonna be a bit chunkier because I also just get in conflict out of the way in your first paragraph. The similarity that I'll draw between the two would be both soldiers in bear net charge, and I would elect to compare it with charges like brigade. Both soldiers illustrate how being surrounded by death affects their sense of patriotism, okay, the loyalty and the duty to their country. However, the soldiers in charge of the light brigade is still charged, so being faced by the prospect of death, still not only traumatizes them, but it still makes them bold. They are brave and they charge directly into the war. However, the soldier in bear net charge seemingly flees. He's just running, okay? Now the quotations I would contrast bear net charge when talking about charge of the light brigade is with bear net charge. I would mention this simile. So like a man ellipses who jumped up in the dark and runs. Of course, what this is showing is the soldier in bear net charge is just absolutely petrified. Conflict leads him to lose his sense of patriotism. In contrast, however, I would just suppose this quotation from charge of the light brigade, okay? So how the soldiers, the light brigade still charged into the valley of death. This reference to Psalm 23. Now the context I would mention is when it comes to bear net charge, so I'm gonna get the context point out of the way in my first paragraph. When it comes to bear net charge, I would mention how Ted Hughes's father, so much like the young soldier in bear net charge, and we can assume that probably this young soldier was serving in the first world war, much like Ted Hughes's father, also served in the first world war, but also Hughes himself's Ted Hughes had direct experience of war because he served in the royal air forces. So that's the context point I'll talk about with bear net charge. And what I'll compare it to when discussing and comparing bear net charge to charge of the light brigade is how Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote this poem to celebrate the British soldiers who acted on incorrect and mistaken orders during the Crimean War in 1854. So that would be the first point I would make when comparing how conflict is shown in bear net charge and my elected poem would be charge of the light brigade. So going back to just more generally speaking with param conflict, your first paragraph after you decided, okay, so, you know, if it's a nature question, these are the two poems I'm using, if it's an identity question, these are the two poems I'm using, if it's conflict, these are the two poems, get your context out of the way. So like write it, but then think, do you know what? So that I don't forget to mention context and I don't forget to get my AO3 points, right? Assessment Objective 3. Let me just get the context point out of the way in my first paragraph, okay? And as I mentioned, guys, I'm literally gonna write this out afterwards. So that's my first point and it's a similarity point. Now my second point for this essay, how conflict is illustrated in bear net charge because I've got in my AO3 out of the way, I'm done with AO3. All I'm not gonna be focusing on is AO1, AO2, okay, so AO1 is, I might answer the question correctly, showing an awareness of quotations in AO2 is stuff like, am I using subject terminology, right? Using language form and structure in my responses. So in my second point, when comparing how conflict is shown in bear net charge and charge like we gave, I would discuss how bear net charge, the soldier is so traumatized by conflict that he loses his sense of patriotism and as he's running and he sees even the hair that's blown out of the ground, he literally forgets everything that led him into war, okay? And this is shown through the quotation, King on a human dignity and the listing here illustrates that he has completely abandoned his sense of patriotic values, okay? So conflict here in bear net charge is used so we can see that conflict traumatizes the soldier to accept that he forgets his sense of patriotism. And what we'll compare it to with charge like we gave is how they don't lose their sense of patriotism. The prospect of certain deaths, they know they're gonna die, however that doesn't affect them because they still went into the war and they were shot out with, or rather they were stormed out with shot and shell, okay? So here you've got lots of alliteration and what this illustrates is whilst the soldier in light brigade loses his sense of patriotic values, the soldiers or rather the soldier in bear net charge loses his sense of patriotic values, the soldiers in charge of that brigade don't. Now my third and final point is to do with how they actually are also still quite similar in terms of how they are affected by conflict, okay? So then I'll finish off by stating that both soldiers in charge of light, in charge of that brigade in bear net charge, they clearly don't understand the war that they're fighting in, okay? So of course the soldier in bear net charge is fighting in World War I, soldiers in charge of that brigade are fighting in Crimean War. Both of them are just there waiting for orders. They don't quite understand why they're even fighting, okay? However, this leads for the bear net charge soldier, this leads him to forget his sense of duty and just run intuitively whilst the soldiers in charge of that brigade still blindly follow commands and orders even if they're fighting in a war that maybe they don't understand, okay? So they still follow orders blindly. Now the quotations that I'd use from bear net charge support this is firstly how the soldier is described as this terror in his heart is sweating like molten iron, so that first simile, but also I will tie it to the end when we learn that he has his terrorist touchy dynamite, okay? Both these feelings illustrate his fear and his intense panic, which makes him forget about following all of these orders blindly and he just kind of, we sense that he's just running for cover. He's running not necessarily to fight, but just running for cover, okay? This is in contrast to in the charge of that brigade, obviously we know that somebody had blundered and we know that they were faced with cannon too and then I'll put ellipsis right and left and Alfred Lord Tennyson celebrates them at the end by calling them the noble 600 who valiantly just went straight for it, fought and still even if they knew that they were gonna face certain death, okay? So when it comes to power and conflict and in terms of just a general structure and a general framework, this applies obviously to this question for conflict but really to be honest, if it's a power question, if it's a nature question, if it's an identity question, my suggestion is start your first paragraph with a chunky kind of point where you talk about how the main poem and the poem you've selected, are they similar, are they different, but also tie it into a context point. That's your first paragraph, irrespective of the theme, right? So let's say you sort this out for nature, identity, or even power, right? You start off with a similarity or a difference point but add in context so you can get context out of the way and you don't forget to mention context, okay, so you can really lock in AO3. Then the last two points where you either talk about similarity or difference, literally talk about how they're similar, then some evidence, and then you explain, talking about technique, analyzing what this illustrates and of course, your final point, similar kind of structure where you add your opening point, talking about are they similar or different, some evidence, then you're kind of going to detail as to how technique is used by both poets to illustrate the keywords and the question, in this case, how conflict is illustrated, okay? So as I mentioned, guys, I'm going to be looking at pound conflict one final time today and looking at how to write a model response for this particular question. So what I'm going to do now is I'm literally going to move this and then walk through the actual paper and then actually hand write the answers using this exact structure. So you can kind of see how to piece together an actual concrete response, okay? So I'm going to move this and then you can kind of, hopefully, I know in the Macbeth live it was like a little bit pixelated, but hopefully, guys, you're going to be able to see clearly the exam paper. So it seems like it's clear, so I'm going to kind of shift it and literally dive straight into it, okay? Oops, let me just try this once more. Sorry, guys, the way my setup is, how do I do this? The way my setup is, I usually have this thing that I take it on, here we go. Hopefully you guys can see it a bit more clearly because I know last time it was a little bit unclear, but hopefully now this is a tad bit more clear. So let me just move this, perfect. Right, so guys, hopefully you can see the entire paper, as I mentioned. Now I'm going to show you how you can actually apply the plan that I've walked you guys through to this question, okay? So as I mentioned, looking at the 2022 exam that came up, how conflict is shown, and more specifically how you could answer and write a model response for the question that came up, okay? So let me just study this and obviously have my highlighter ready, okay? Guys, in terms of whether you're given the poem, you're always given one poem, but then you're not given the other poem. And because you don't know what's going to come up, the whole kind of challenge of this part of the paper is you need to memorize quotes from other poems because you don't know what's going to come up, right? So as I mentioned, guys, so obviously on Wednesday, you're going to obviously have this list of poems that you can choose from, then you always just get just one poem, okay? So you're only given one poem. And the challenge is that because you don't know whether it's going to be a conflict question or a nature question or an identity question or a power question, you need to be able to memorize different quotations so that you can know what to use and which relevant quotes to use, okay? So as I mentioned, guys, looking at this, how would I approach it? So of course, I know that I've got about 15 minutes for this question and 15 minutes to answer this question within the exam. It's obviously going to be one of three separate sections. You've got your modern texts and spectacles. You've also got your power and conflict and unseen poetry. You're always given the poet's names, by the way, guys. Okay, you're even given this list to help you, okay? So if you're like, you then, if you look at this, for example, and decide, okay, I'm going to compare this to Charger Lap Brigade in Power and Conflict, then you then, and you're thinking, oh, actually, I can't remember the person that wrote this. You can literally look at the list. You're always given this list, okay? So don't worry, you always get this list of poems and the poet's names. But of course, you also get the actual main poem that's given to you, right? So obviously, if you want to add even more quotations from the main poem, that's good. But make sure you don't lose sight of also adding your own quotations that are memorized from elsewhere. You can't wing it and just basically try to come up and make up quotes on the spot, okay? So the challenge with the Power and Conflict is you need to try your best to memorize different quotations from this list. So let's have a go at answering this question. As I mentioned, guys, I'm going to just dive into actually writing this model response and this is going to be the last time I look at Power and Conflict before the exam, okay? So obviously having my highlighter handy and ready. The question is how poets present ideas about conflict in bear net charge and one other poem from Power and Conflict. So of course, I know when I look at this question and especially how conflict is presented, one of the best poems to compare this to is Charge the Light Brigade. Because both of them explore ideas to do with patriotic values. It explores ideas to do with soldiers who really don't quite know why they're fighting in the wars that they're involved in. And both soldiers, so the individual soldier in bear net charge, he's faced with this prospect of death, right? So it's not certain. It's not for sure if he's going to die, but he's kind of threatened by the idea of death, right? He's literally charging and being faced with death and even seeing this hair that literally is blown up out of the ground makes him forget his sense of patriotism, right? So he stops kind of caring about the patriotic values that led him to serve in his country, right? Whilst Charge the Light Brigade being faced with the idea of certain death in this conflict still makes them quite brave, quite bold and they still charge directly into this war. So of course, when I'm looking at this question, I think, okay, do you know what? It's awesome we talk about conflict and bear net charge on one other poem. So I'm probably going to think about Light Brigade because there's some nice similarities and some nice differences. So of course, the opening stanza where we learned that suddenly he woke and was running, obviously it starts off in media ray, right? So obviously you don't only have to just have three quotations from bear net charge, minimum three, but you can also add other quotations. So obviously it starts off in media rays, which means in the middle of action, hair mentioning technique already. So I'm getting my AO two points. And then we learned that the soldier was running raw, raw and seemed hot and seemed hot khaki. His sweat heavy, stumbling across a field of clouds towards a green hedge that dazzled with rifle fire, hearing the bullets smacking the belly out of the air. So also this is a really nice quotation. He loved a rifle, numbers of smashed arm. The patriotic here that brimmed his eye, sweating like molten iron from the center of his chest. So this is the quotation that I really, really liked. So this one is definitely going to be one of the quotes that I'm going to mention in my response. So of course, this is a simile. I can obviously include the others, but this simile is really particularly powerful in illustrating his sense of terror and fear. And then we learned that in bewilderment, he almost stopped in what called clockwork of the stars and nations was the hand pointing that second and he was running like a man who's jumped up in the dark and run. So again, what is this simile showing me? This simile, and of course also we're being told that he's in the dark, so he has no idea why he's even running. So this simile illustrates to us that he's just running for his life, right? He's in this charge, but we get the sense that he's just running for his life. He's not really running particularly to find the enemy or to fight. He's just kind of like, oh my gosh, I just want to survive. Listening between footfalls for his reason of his running, his foot hung like a statuary in mid stride. Then the shot slashed forest through up yellow hair. So this is the hair that he sees this innocent creature that's murdered, which obviously makes him remember that he too, just like the hair can die, that rolled like a flame and crawled in a threshing circle. It's mouth wide, open eyes, open silent. It's eyes standing out. He plunged past with his bayonet towards the green hedge. King on a human dignity, et cetera, dropped like luxuries in the yelling alarm to get out of that blue crackling air his terrors touchy dynamite. So as I mentioned, guys, this listing here, so King on a human dignity, he forgets his patriotic values, right? So conflict leads him to abandon his sense of patriotism, his sense of patriotic values. Now, if I were answering this question, as I mentioned, how I would structure my response is I'd begin my first point with a similar idea between how conflict affects the soldiers in bayonet charge or the soldier in bayonet charge versus the soldiers in charge of that brigade. Of course, the point that I would make here is the trauma of conflict and being surrounded by death affects their sense of patriotism. Patriotism, again, meaning loyalty to one's country, okay? And what I would tie this into is this simile for my opening point. So where he's like a man who has jumped up in the dark and runs and I'd use this simile and the charge of that brigade, the simile or rather the evidence I tie this into is how they charge into the valley of death. And of course, I'd make this opening paragraph a context paragraph. As I said, Ted Hughes's father served in World War I so maybe Hughes was writing this, perhaps trying to empathize with the fright his father might have felt, maybe the panic his dad might have felt as a young soldier but of course also Hughes himself served in the RAF, okay? So also this is based on his own direct experiences of war and the context I'd compare that to when talking about charge of that brigade is how Alfred Lord Tennyson is illustrating probably he's imagining how the soldiers in the light brigade, the British soldiers might have felt really terrified as they were charging into certain death during the 1854 Crimean War which was when they were given wrong orders to charge with a way smaller group of soldiers, way smaller Calvary, just 600 men but in spite of being faced with certain death they literally just charge into this valley of death, okay? So whilst conflict in charge of that brigade emboldens the soldiers, they see the certain death but they still decide to fight valiantly, in Bennett charge conflict affects him as he starts losing his sense of patriotic duty. Of course, the second point as I mentioned once I get my context out of the way my AO3 has been secured, I'll probably talk about the main difference being Bennett charge soldier loses patriotic or patriotism because of conflict whilst the soldiers in charge of that brigade they maintain their patriotic ideals and they maintain their duty to Britain and here for this second point I'd probably use this listing in Bennett charge in Bennett charge and link that to in charge of that brigade so whilst he loses his sense of duty he loses the sense of patriotic values shown through this listing so conflict makes him lose his sense of duty to his country in charge of that brigade we learned that they were still stormed at with shots and shell, so this is alliteration and in spite of that they still fought they still charged directly into the war and my final point when talking about how conflict is presented in Bennett charge and charge of that brigade my third and final point would be how both soldiers so this would be a final similarity the poets in both poems are showing that the soldiers did not understand the causes so there were just these young soldiers who didn't understand the causes of the war that they were fighting in but they still fought blindly so they did not understand the war or the wars they were fighting in but they still fought bravely and of course, well actually no but the Calvary, but I'm forgetting my point but the Bennett charge soldier ran so he was almost like this terror caused him to want to flee yet the light brigade fought bravely and dutifully, right? So both of them didn't quite understand why they were losing their lives for this war both of them didn't quite get why they were fighting in this war however, soldiers in charge of that brigade still followed orders quite blindly soldier in Bennett charge he decided to just try and flee for his life because he kind of forgot the reason why he was even fighting his terror, which is the metaphor his terrorist touchy dynamite, this metaphor as well as I suppose this simile illustrates that even if, so the war broke out conflicts, the trauma of war just made him lose his sense of patriotism and he just was running for cover these are the three main points that we'll talk about for this question so literally diving into a response for all three, okay? So I'm literally going to start off with this first paragraph it's going to be a bit more chunky so I'm going to title this parent conflict and this is the 2022 exam model answer. Now, I usually like to start off with an introduction a nice opening thesis statement perhaps just to ease myself into the discussion but also to show the examiner and the person that's mocking my answer okay, I kind of have an idea of the question what the question is asking me but also broadly when I'm discussing my elected poem as well as the main poem what do the, how do they relate to the keywords? Okay, so in terms of conflict so this is my introduction which I would start with obviously if you don't have enough time to do intro and then three chunky paragraphs just off to do the three chunky paragraphs but an intro is really, really nice it's a nice touch to add to your essays, okay? So I would mention in both and I'd also use my introduction to indicate which poems I'm going to be talking about, okay? So in both Bennett charge and the charge of the Light Brigade Conflict serves as a powerful catalyst that makes the soldiers reflect on their sense of duty to their countries Nonetheless, conflict keyword in the question, okay? So I need to keep on making sure that I'm alluding back to the keywords how is conflict shown? Nonetheless, conflict proves so traumatizing to the soldier in Bennett charge that he abandons his sense of patriotism to his country as he seemingly runs for cover On the other hand, the soldiers in the charge of the Light Brigade I'm gonna shorten this, the charge, maintain their patriotism as they charge into certain death So I've began by opening my discussion mentioning keywords in the question, how is conflict illustrated? But also what I've done is I've summarized what are the similarities I'm gonna draw between Bennett charge and my elected poem which is charge of the Light Brigade and equally what are some of the key differences, okay? So I've introduced my discussion nicely in my introduction and I've really shown that I kind of have a strong handle and a strong sense of mastery over this question, okay? So going into my introduction, this is how if I were answering this question on conflict and how is conflict shown, this is a 2022 exam, this is how I would open my discussion when comparing Bennett charge and charge of the Light Brigade So both Bennett charge and the charge of the Light Brigade conflict serves as a powerful catalyst it charges them into action or it kind of powers them into action and this catalyst, so it's a powerful catalyst that makes the soldiers reflect on their sense of duty to their countries. Nonetheless, conflict proves so traumatizing to the soldier in Bennett charge that he abandons a sense of patriotism to his country as it seemingly runs for cover. On the other hand, the soldiers in the charge maintain the patriotism as they charge into certain deaths or put charge in speech marks here but also because the charge of the Light Brigade is quite a long title. I spell it out one time and then I just use ellipsis afterwards, okay? That's my opening introduction done. So now I'm gonna go into my first paragraph and this is gonna be my biggest paragraph because I'm also gonna ensure that I include my AO3. So I'm gonna get my context out of the way to make sure that at least 7.5% of the overall marks are available for this part of the question that's secured, okay? So here I'm gonna begin with my similarity point. So moving into my first paragraph. Firstly, in or it is evident that conflict creates a deep sense of fear and panic in the soldiers in Charge of Light Brigade or Bennett Charge and the charge dot, dot, dot. Nonetheless, as they are actually as they are surrounded by death. So I've opened my opening point talking about both. Now one thing that people tend to get wrong with power and conflict poetry and to be honest, any comparison questions that also this ties into the part B question and unseen poetry is when you're comparing, they think, oh, if I write about one poem and one paragraph and then another poem and another paragraph, that's comparing. That's not comparing. You're just talking about two poems and they're just parallels, like a parallel discussion you're having. When you are comparing poems, you need to integrate that comparison, okay? When you're talking about two texts, they need to be integrated in the same paragraph, okay? And that's what I'm doing in my opening point and I'm gonna develop this a little bit further, okay? So I've started off firstly, it's evident that conflict creates a deep sense of fear and panic. The soldiers in bayonet charge and the charge as they are surrounded by death. Nonetheless, so maybe the soldier in Hughes's, this is Ted Hughes poem is alarmed and actually here I'm also gonna probably mention when he sees this yellow hair, right? So he's alarmed when he sees this yellow hair. So the soldier in Hughes's poem is alarmed when he sees the innocent hair killed during conflict and the soldiers in the charge anticipate being murdered. And this affects both their sense of patriotism. This is my opening point, okay? So here in my opening point I've already included both charge and abrogate bayonet charge but equally discussing how conflict is illustrated, okay? So this is my opening point. Firstly, it's evident that conflict key word from the question creates a deep sense of fear and panic in the soldiers in bayonet charge and the charge as they are surrounded by death. The soldier in Hughes's poem is alarmed when he sees the innocent hair killed during conflict and the soldiers in the charge anticipate being murdered and this affects both the sense of patriotism or both the senses of patriotism. Now I'm going to embed my evidence. The soldier in Hughes's poem poem was evidence like a man who has jumped up in the dark and runs once conflict broke out. That's my evidence for bayonet charge but I'm now going to compare it to charge and abrogate. Nonetheless, the soldiers in Lord Tennyson's poem knew they faced certain death yet they still rode into the valley of death so I'm going to explore the evidence This is the evidence. The soldiers in Hughes's poem that's the evidence I'm using from bayonet charge. Now I'm going to contrast it with the evidence from charge and abrogate. Nonetheless, the soldiers in Lord Tennyson's poem knew that they faced certain death they still rode into the valley of death. I've gotten my evidence out of the way now I need to make sure I talk about technique but also get some context points done. Hughes or Hughes's simile is powerful in conveying the young soldiers so it's powerful in conveying the young soldiers so let's go back young soldiers sense of panic and fear once he realised the gravity the importance of the situation Hughes in a straights how conflict so I've mentioned techniques or started off by mentioning the idea that um he uses simile so that's my area two now I need to talk about my area three which is context Hughes illustrates how conflict can affect any person even soldiers who have pure intentions of fighting and serving fighting for their country contextually Hughes arguably wanted to convey the fear and panic men must have felt during the first world war having a father who had served in the war Hughes debatably debatably wanted to portray how terrifying such conflicts were so we can empathise with soldiers who experienced intense fear that's my context paragraph for Hughes okay so I've gone into how conflict is shown but equally not only ever mentioned technique that Hughes is using so simile but I've gone into what is this illustrating how is conflict being conveyed in benefit charge and what does contextually and Hughes want to illustrate he probably wants us to maybe empathise with how soldiers must have felt in the first world war they were quite young and so on now I'm going to compare the use of tech a technique by Hughes with how Alfred Lord Tennyson uses technique but also now tying into context of the 1834 Crimean war so or rather 1854 Crimean war similarly so similarly Lord Tennyson employs so here I'm talking about the valley of death so employs a metaphor valley of death or the metaphor valley of death as an illusion a reference to Psalm 23 in the bible which described facing conflict and adversity he contextually wanted us to empathise with the soldiers in the 1854 Crimean war who faced certain death but still charged forward so in this paragraph what I've done so I'm still not yet done okay so as I mentioned this first paragraph is quite chunky okay because you want to try and get your AO3 out of the way so this is context you also want to make sure you've got your AO2 which is terminology and of course quotations relating to the question hence why I suggest with this type of question and this type of essay for parent conflict you want to go for three paragraphs okay so your first paragraph similarity or difference but then tying it to how is you know context illustrated in both poems and then your second two paragraphs are kind of going to be shorter because you then you've got your context out of the way so you then just go straight for your analysis and so on okay so here is my explanation and this is an explanation where I include both hues so I'll start off with Bennett charge house complex shown and then contrast it with um Lord Tennyson charge okay so after I've added my evidence um I've mentioned um the where is it so nonetheless okay so here's where my explanation starts okay so my explanation I've added technique as well as context so my explanation hues a simile so I've mentioned simile in Bennett charge is powerful in conveying the young soldier's sense of panic and fear once he realized the gravity the importance of the situation hues illustrates how conflict can affect any person so this is Bennett charge even the soldiers who have pure intentions of fighting for their country context reduced now here I'll go into context hues arguably wanted to convey the fear and panic men must have felt during the first world war having a father who had served in the war hues debatably wanted to portray how terrifying such conflicts were so that we can empathize with soldiers who experience intense fear that's my context for the first poem then I'm going to click for the second similarly Lord Tennyson employs the metaphor value of death technique as an illusion reference to Psalm 23 in the bible which described facing conflict and adversity he contextually wanted us to empathize to sympathize to feel really bad with the soldiers in the 1854 Crimean war who faced certain death but still charged forward so then I simply finish off by linking so thus both poems reveal how the soldiers experience intense fear when surrounded by conflict yet hues or the soldier in hues's poem begins to question his patriotism yet these soldiers or the brigade in Lord Tennyson's poem maintain their bravery so this is the link back to the question so thus both poems reveal how the soldiers experience intense fear when surrounded by conflicted the soldier in hues's poem begins to question his patriotism right so whether he wants to be um serving his country yet the brigade in Lord Tennyson's poem maintain their bravery okay so that's my first point done and this is um context finished it's worth 7.5 percent of the mark so I've just gotten my context point out the way in my second and my third paragraphs Alicia I'm just going to talk about difference in similarity how in Bennett charge the guy who uses his patriotism um charge like brigade they maintain this sense of duty so now I'm going to go into my second paragraph so this is to do with conflict now this is a difference point um nevertheless and now here I'm talking about difference nevertheless the soldiers um or the soldier in Bennett charge loses his sense of loyalty and patriotism during the conflict on the other hand the soldiers in the charge bravely and courageously courageously run into or um head towards their deaths never forgetting their patriotism so that's my opening point talking about the differences between the two nonetheless the soldier in Bennett charge loses his sense of loyalty and patriotism during the conflict on the other hand the soldiers in the charge of the brigade suggest the charge bravely and courageously head towards the deaths never forgetting their patriotism so um the soldier in Hughes's poem um forgets or discards which means throws away the notions of king honor human dignity as he runs yet the light brigade charge into death and they are stormed at with shot and shell so I've added my evidence and the soldier in Hughes's poem discards the notions of the ideas of king honor human dignity as he runs that's my evidence for uh Bennett charge yet the uh light brigade charge into death as they are second bit of evidence stormed out with shot and shell now with um Hughes I'm literally just only going to go into techniques so this is my A02 and then I'm then going to move into technique in a light brigade and what this illustrates when it comes to the keywords conflict in the question Hughes uses listing when highlighting the patriotic values and ideals that led the young soldier to sign up for the war however when faced with his death or when faced with death these ideals these values dropped like luxuries so I'm making a reference to just this bit so they dropped like luxuries when or as he simply wanted to escape the battle alive on the other hand lord Tennyson uses listing when or rather uses alliteration when referring to the violence way the brigade were stormed with shot we can see they still heroically fought in the war for Britain so here's my explanation so I've added my evidence here's my explanation what I've included techniques for both poems Hughes uses listing when highlighting the patriotic values and ideals that led the young soldier to sign up for the war so this is related to Bennett charge I'm using Hughes's surname to show that I'm talking about Bennett charge however when faced with death these ideals dropped like luxuries so these ideas of patriotism fighting for his country dropped like luxuries as he simply wants to escape the battle alive on the other hand lord Tennyson uses alliteration technique when referring to the violent way the brigade were stormed out with shot we can see they still heroically fought in the war for Britain then now I'm going to simply link it back to the question hence whilst conflict causes the solitary soldier in Bennett charge to run and seemingly hide for cover the soldiers in the charge bravely fight to their deaths so this is the link back talking about how they are similar so hence whilst conflict again about keywords in the question okay so how is conflict shown in Bennett charge so hence what's conflict causes the solitary soldier in Bennett charge this is a lone soldier in Bennett charge to run and seemingly hide for cover the soldiers in the charge bravely fight their to their deaths okay so again started off with my opening point talking about both poems in this case how they are different then added my two bits of evidence from both poems in this question in this paragraph because I've got my context point my AO3 out of the way in the first paragraph the first really chunky paragraph I'm simply just getting in my AO2 points talking about technique so then I talked about Hughes's use of listing versus who's the guy lord Tennyson's use of alliteration then I simply ended by linking to the question how conflict is conveyed okay so I've started I've started off my introduction had my first chunky similarity point then now I've finished off with my difference point now I simply need to end with a final third point comparing how Bennett charge in childhood like the gate illustrates conflict before I conclude my discussion and of course I conclude this live okay so this is the final similarity that I'm going to draw I'm going to use a fresh page to discuss how the soldiers in charge of every gate are so patriotic that they like they blindly follow orders versus the soldiers in Bennett charge you know he realizes it doesn't understand this war and this is also one of the reasons why he's even less loyal to his duty right he loses this sense of patriotism because he doesn't even understand why isn't this war right so this is the third and final paragraph before I conclude and actually this wouldn't be a similarity it would be a similarity in the sense that both of them didn't understand the war but the soldiers in charge of that brigade they still blindly follow orders however so actually this would be a difference I guess um soldiers in like brigade blindly follow orders soldiers in the soldier in Bennett charge he doesn't blindly follow orders he doesn't even understand right and he's so terrified this is shown in this simile but equally his terror is shown here through this metaphor and we've also got some alliteration and what this is showing is that the conflict makes him even realize that it's not even worth dying for this conflict so this is going to be my final point before concluding so finally um the or rather um the conflict which the soldier the soldier's witness leads them to act in dramatically different ways even if they both do not understand the wars they are fighting in the brigade in Lord Tennyson's poem blindly follow follow orders yet the soldier in Hughes's poem decides to try and save himself as he runs in terror so this is my final opening point so finally the conflict which the soldiers witness leads them to act in dramatically different ways even if they both do not understand the wars they are fighting in the brigade in Lord Tennyson's poem blindly follow orders yet the soldier in Hughes's poem decides to try and save himself as he runs in terror now i'm going to add the evidence so um uh the soldier in Bennett charge felt fear or felt um petro uh terror which was sweating like molten iron in his chest and his terror's touchy dynamite led him to seek cover yet nonetheless the brigade in the charge dot dot dot so the brigade in the charge um realize that even if their commanders blundered they and they were and they had cannons surrounding them they still fought as the poet uh calls as the or even noble 600 so here's the evidence for both poems so the soldier in Bennett charge felt terror which was sweating like molten iron in his chest and his terror's touchy dynamite led him to seek cover nonetheless the brigade in the charge realized that even if their commanders blundered they had cannons surrounding them they still fought as the noble 600 that's my opening point and my evidence now i'm going to add my explanation so um Hughes's simile coupled with um his the use of alliteration at the end of the poem in the final line of the poem line of the poem conveys to us how the conflict led the soldier to question his orders as he grew consumed with sheer terror on the other hand the uh Tennyson Lord Tennyson uses repetition of cannon to show the soldiers still charged even if um and blindly followed orders and his final exclamatory sentence celebrates their sacrifice sacrifice so here is the explanation talking about technique here's the simile coupled with the use of alliteration a o2 in the final line of the poem conveys to us how the conflict led the soldier to question orders as he grew consumed with sheer terror on the other hand Lord Tennyson uses repetition of cannon to show the soldiers still charged and blindly followed orders and his final exclamatory sentence celebrates their sacrifice therefore whilst the conflict leads the lone soldier in benefit charge bayonet charge to abandon his duty due to fear conflict emboldens the brigade to die as heroes here's the link back to the question therefore whilst the conflict leads the lone soldier in bayonet charge to abandon his duty due to fear conflict emboldens the brigade to die as heroes so as you can see once more I started off with my point for both poems then my evidence including both poems and my explanation this is where I added techniques so a mix of language and structure techniques that's my a o2 okay obviously my opening point and evidence that's my a o1 points then I finished off by linking back to the question and talking about how conflict is shown in both bayonet charge main poem and charge block brigade which is my elected poem so now that I'm done with the entire essay I'm literally going to simply conclude so I'm going to end by saying in conclusion it is evident that conflict inflicts terror on the soldiers in bayonet charge and the charge dot dot dot nonetheless the trauma of war and the possibility of death leads the soldier in he uses poem to simply run for cover as he abandons his sense of patriotism on the other hand or nonetheless conflict and the certain prospect of death still leads the brigade in Lord Tennyson's poem to charge bravely and die valiantly which means bravely there's my conclusion finishing off my discussion in conclusion it's evident that conflict inflicts terror on the soldiers in bayonet charge and the charge so this is the charge block brigade nonetheless the trauma of war and the possibility of death leads the soldier in he uses poem to simply run for cover as he abandons his sense of patriotism nonetheless conflict and the certain prospect the certain idea of death still leads the brigade in Lord Tennyson's poem to charge bravely and die valiantly so as I mentioned guys so I'm going to move my camera just a little bit further up I have answered the question that came up in the 2022 exam and more specifically so I don't know if the entire page is in view anyway so more specifically I've examined how to write a model response if a conflict question came up and let's say you know aqa decided to ask about bennett charge yet another time but also if they still decide if they decided not to go for bennett charge but went for a charge like brigade and then you're given charge like brigade another question say you can still use a lot of these points and recycle them if you were talking about conflict or war as I mentioned there are literally four themes in power and conflict that you're going to be tested on you've got your conflict and war theme which is what I looked at today you've got your nature theme which has never actually come up I talked about that yesterday and showed you guys a model paragraph what you can consider and also ideas you can write about for nature if that comes up equally you can also get an identity question that's never come up possibly that could be one question that could come up one theme and finally you've got power okay so power is the final theme and of course if you want to see how to you know memorize quotations according to all of these four themes watch yesterday's live and then just make note of the quotations that suggested okay so as I mentioned guys when answering any question that comes up for pound conflict next uh not next week on wednesday my suggestion of course when it comes to the 15 minutes the timings um spend 10 minutes planning and around 40 minutes writing or maybe like 35 minutes writing and then at the end kind of um five minutes at the end checking your response if you don't feel like that's realistic then just kind of go over it for 40 minutes okay nonetheless when answering your question start off with a nice introduction showing you kind of understand the question you understand the assignment and then your first paragraph is where you get your a03 out of the way throughout all of the paragraphs you're getting your a02 and your a01 a01 is like are you able to answer the question correctly are you able to interpret the poems correctly and are you able to kind of support your response with quotations a02 is can you show an awareness of subject terminology language structure techniques as well as form and a03 is context a01 and a02 I believe it's worth 22 percent or 22.5 percent of the marks I'm going to double check that but a03 is worth um 7.5 percent of the marks okay so you know it's not going to dominate your essay but you still need to mention it and I will suggest getting your context your a03 out of the way in the first paragraph then just focusing on you know how else is you know um the keywords shown through a range of language structure and also talking about kind of analyzing it and going to detail okay so as you can see before I finish off starting off my introduction then my first point talking about um both poems but how context um is how they are similar but also from a contextual perspective then in my second paragraph talks about a difference between both and my third and final paragraph it's kind of a mix of both to be honest I think my final paragraph was like a similarity and difference in the sense that both of them um you know acting really dramatic in dramatically different ways because of conflict but um you know Lord Tennyson's people they um blindly follow orders Bennett Charge Kid doesn't okay he's a young soldier he doesn't really blindly follow orders when he's faced with his death and then of course I ended with a conclusion so guys uh I'm gonna put the camera and I'm gonna position it back to um where it was before um just in case uh anyone wanted to look at the plan uh oh god how do I move this um but guys thank you so much for joining in um so this is the plan let me move this a little bit back um I'm going to see if there's any questions if there's none I am gonna end tonight's live or to date evening's life even if it doesn't feel like evening okay um so guys it doesn't seem to be or it doesn't seem to be any questions um so I shall guys um um let's see so that answer is long um right so guys um I'm kind of looking at by the way um this is going to be the last param conflict live that I do I think tomorrow I'm going to do um unseen poetry so unseen poetry um I'm going to be doing that tomorrow it's going to be a late life um and am I going to go live tomorrow yes so tomorrow live is going to be late though so um my live is going to start at 8 30 p.m guys okay so um live's going to start 8 30 p.m and um I'm going to be looking at unseen poetry okay so guys um best of luck with revision this evening and uh so let's have a look um glad you found it helpful um with themes guys with themes literally just create a table okay um look at the table that I showed you guys in the live yesterday so this is a table where you've got a kind of created a grid um so this is in yesterday's live where you've got the quotations that you can go with um for power the quotations to go with for nature the quotes for um conflict and the quotes for identity look at the live yesterday I literally started off by showing literally if you don't have any time to revise the quotes that would go with power if you've got a power question the quotes that would go with nature if you've got a nature question the quotes that would go with conflict if you've got a conflict question and the quotes that would go with identity I will suggest that's the best way to tackle this paper or this part of the paper. So guys, I'm going to head off. Paper one lives are going to start from half term. I'm thinking maybe half term or the week before, so the first week of June. Definitely going to be looking at language, paper one. So tomorrow is going to be last time I do literature, obviously because that's going to be the Wednesday is going to be exam. Then possibly at some point in half term week, I'm going to be looking at language, paper one, then paper two at some point. So guys, thank you so much for joining in and I shall speak to you guys who are going to be up maybe tomorrow evening. So my life is going to start at 8 30. It's going to be a bit of a late one. Going to be going over unseen poetry. So put a vote whether people want to do unseen poetry for Edexcel, AQA, vote and then I'll decide which one I'm going to go for. Guys, thank you so much for joining in. I'm going to end this live and see those of you who want to practice unseen poetry in tomorrow's live from 8 30 p.m. Love you all guys. Bye-bye.
