Daily Revision Post 12 - Language Analysis






Revision - English Language Unit 2 - Writers Voice - Of Mice & Men and Creative Writing:

Task:
 In your Of Mice and Men section of your exam, the main skill the examiner is looking for is language analysis.  You will be given an extract from the novel and they will expect you to read, annotate it and then write about it.  You will need to link the story with the section they give you and analyse the language in detail.  You cannot know what extract they will give you, so the best thing you can do is practise the skill.

This link has some ideas for you to think about.  You should pick any section from the novel and try to apply some of the ideas in the link to the language you see.  A link to the text of the novel is here.
