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!
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
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!
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
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
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!!!
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 😌
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.
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.
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!
@@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!
I get if hard can mean Firm, Difficult, Intense, Harsh, Tough, Diligent, Forceful, Extreme, Severe, Mineralized but how can it also mean empathy, that doesn't even correlate to scrooges appearance and character and first impression
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?
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 RUclips 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!!
Hi there! Ive recently been watching your videos and are soooo Helpfull!! quick question: where can i find your top set analysis videos since I'm new?? thanks a lot for your help and support Cant wait to see your channel grow!!!
hey again! is this the top set analysis👇? also, would you prefer watching the top set analysis or this video?? thanks!! ruclips.net/video/e98F6whQUFM/видео.html
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 😒
hey again! is this the top set analysis👇? also, would you prefer watching the top set analysis or this video?? thanks!! ruclips.net/video/e98F6whQUFM/видео.html
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.
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!! Lmao ruclips.net/channel/UC2nHeMGCkc8qDghb_hZ1ODQ here check dystopia junkie videos for more in-depth videos however i still highly recommend this channel!!

@@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
I get if hard can mean Firm,
Difficult,
Intense,
Harsh,
Tough,
Diligent,
Forceful,
Extreme,
Severe,
Mineralized but how can it also mean empathy, that doesn't even correlate to scrooges appearance and character and first impression
The adjective ‘hard’
suggests that he LACKS warmth and empathy.
Thanks you Mr Bruff
Best analysis ever
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?

Absolutely top class video, thank you!
You're welcome - thank you for the kind words!
Aight, I passed my English test of this video. Thanks.
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'
Please can you make some videos on blood brothers?
I have one video on this in the student exemplar playlist.
I actually love you so much
When are you covering the themes ?
There are already some on themes such as loneliness, time and ignorance and want. Possibly more to follow!

Take a look at my playlists - I've got videos going through all the questions on paper 2.
