    you need to make sure you dont abreviate words such as "a christmas carol" you kept missing the A that will deduct marks in the exam. and with the one of the Ghosts you have to say "the Ghost of christmas Yet-to-come" because if you say "ghost of christmas future" in the exam that willm 100% deduct marks. Just the small bits, good video.

    just want to say you have been a life saver for me i used to do very poor in english although im still not quite at the top i managed to pass Literature with a C which isnt great but its massive improvement from before thanks to your simple straightforward framework for the questions especially the model answers:D
    im predicted 5 so hopefully i can get that or more for the real exams id be so grateful with anything higher than c honestly!

    For the symbolism of ‘ignorance’ and ‘want’
    Would it be that ignorance may symbolise the ignorance of the rich having an effect on the poor. And could ‘want’ symbolise the greed of society (specifically the rich).

    Thank you so, so much. You are wonderful ❤.
    I love this story. Some of my ancestors were illiterate and had to live in workhouses in Manchester during this time, others worked in the pits and dark, satanic mills. If anyone studying this can travel to Manchester, the Museum of Science and Industry has an amazing, interactive section about the Industrial Revolution (Manchester is the place in the world where it all began - Our symbol is the worker bee 🐝 ) and the life of the poor workers. This may help to give a background to Dickens' moral tale and help with the exam. It also has other amazing exhibits and activities.
    It's free to go (donations welcome). You should go on-line to check which exhibits are open before you go.
    Thank you again for your amazing lessons, you have helped us so much!
