Your videos help me so much!! I’m not very confident with english literature and I’ve been scared I will fail it next year when I do my exams, but your videos explain everything so well so it gives me hope that I will maybe get a grade 6 or 7 😊😊😊 you definitely deserve more subscribers!!!
Have faith in yourself - you've still got plenty of time, just keep on working hard (or as hard as you can at the moment in these odd times), and you'll be amazed by how well you do! Glad to be able to help you in some way 😊
dude than you so much, you have no idea how much this has helped me. I really appreciate the time and effort into this video, you deserve wayyyy more subs 😄
@@DystopiaJunkie Yes it did! Tysm. I also had a surprise 30 marker today in class and I remembered a lot of your points which helped me through. Thanks again :D
Everyone says it and mean it, and I would love to add to these comments. This video is older than what I’m used too, but I still find myself making reference to him and his videos as they are a massive help to me, Thankyou.
Hello, just a quick question: Do you think that Priestly used Mrs. Birling's character to criticise the traditional views of a patriarchal society? Therefore presenting her as a victim of that society? I'm not sure if that makes sense...but, as a side note, I love your videos. They are incredibly helpful and I've managed to secure a top grade and your channel is my go-to revision place. Thank you so much. You're amazing :)

Wish me luck for my mocks! Doing iGCSE, so mark schemes a bit different; basically, there's no marks awarded for context - which everyone finds annoying and wrong, but oh well
Good luck for your mocks! It's unfortunate that context isn't explicitly rewarded in the iGCSE mark scheme, but I hope that understanding the background will help your analysis of the text anyway! Good luck once again! 😁

@@DystopiaJunkie thank you! Appreciate it! It is a bit different but not too bad. I’ve already completed paper 1, and got 40/40 on my of mice and men, still waiting on my unseen poetry tho. Just relieved, and removed a lot of stress. Appreciate these videos tho, really useful and in depth!
Honestly, all the credit goes to you, because it was you who wrote the answer! I might have given some helpful ideas, but the essay writing and argument construction was all you, so well done! 😊
Hi I’m just Abit confused as you say mrs hurling is middle class but the whole time in class we’ve been told she’s from the upper class and Arthur is middle class?
Hi there - thanks for the comment. Here's why I say what I say: - Class is more complex than lower, middle, and upper. There are levels within each level, e.g. lower-middle, middle, and upper-middle class. - I don't see Mrs B as an upper class character. She is definitely not on the same level as Gerald's parents, who have titles and land! - Because Mr B is 'rather provincial in his speech' (he sounds like he comes from the countryside at times) and is suggested to be a self-made man (he wasn't born into money, he earned it himself), we get the impression that he hasn't always had a comfortably middle class lifestyle. He definitely does now, and as such, I would place him firmly in the middle of middle class. - Mrs B is called her husband's 'social superior' and is clearly more familiar with etiquette and politeness and so on. This tells me that she has always had a comfortable life, probably one that was better than Mr B's was when he was growing up. Because of this, she has to be higher up than her husband is, but still lower than the Crofts. As such, I would say that she upper-middle class. I hope that makes sense!
Thanks Dystopia Junkie for making such useful videos! Would it be at all possible to get some feedback on a practice essay I wrote? It would be really useful for someone familiar with Wjec to mark it. I completely understand if you are very busy right now in a time like this so feel NO pressure to do so. Either way thanks for making such great content 😊
Hello! Thank you for commenting! I'll be honest and say that I wouldn't be able to mark it fully. Aside from it being a weird time, and having an urgent PhD deadline looming, I haven't marked something using the WJEC mark scheme for almost a year, so I'm a little rusty and would hate to grade something inaccurately! I ~might~ be able to give you more general feedback and areas for improvement though, but I can't guarantee it at the moment. Feel free to copy and paste your essay in response to this comment (and delete it once I've given you feedback [if I can!], if you're worried about other people seeing it!), but remember that I can't make any promises! I hope you understand?
I'd say she's upper-middle class: she's not aristocratic or wealthy enough to be considered upper class (like Gerald's parents), but is certainly from a more privileged background than her husband is ('her husband's social superior).
this is the start on my journey on becoming a professional waffler.

is mrs birling not upper class?

comic relief
first dislike
Leave Dystopiajunkie alone 😡
