    If anyone thinks they might need this:
    25 Language Devices: Defined & Explained!
    1. Pathetic Fallacy
    Is when the weather or the atmosphere describes the mood.
    For example, when the weather is rainy people are sad and depressed
    2nd example, the dark night could symbolise something supernatural like 3AM Satan etc…
    2. Personification
    Is when a non-human is given human qualities.
    For example, the tree is waving to John as drives away.
    3. Simile
    When you are comparing two things using ‘like’ or ‘as’
    For example, his facial vision looked like a falcon’s eye
    4. Metaphor
    Is when you are comparing two things with is or are
    Example He is an orc
    5. Extended Metaphor
    Pick a metaphor and explain how --- > turn in to an extended metaphor
    Metaphor --- > Life is a rollercoaster. Now turning into extended metaphor add explanation so, Life is a rollercoaster you don’t know when you will be at the top or at the bottom, it will all happen in an instance, at the greatest heights you will be at the greatest heights and at times it will crash, but every day is never the same, just like in a turn in a Rolle coaster is never the same.
    6. Oxymoron
    2 opposite words side-by-side
    Example, the small giant
    7. Juxtaposition
    You explain an oxymoron.
    The small giant tip-toing trying to reach the top shelf, however, his small arms and puny fingers prevented him from grabbing the bar of jam.
    8. Symbolism
    Is when objects represent a meaning.
    For example, moon and the star represent Islam.
    2nd Example, if you get a priest you will think someone died.
    In Macbeth the dagger links to death.
    9. Semantic field
    Is where words are linked to an idea.
    For example, PPE, 2m and Hand Sanitiser, Head of Year link to COVID.
    10. Irony
    Is when events in the text surprises the characters. Something not expected!
    Mr Birling offering a 1000.
    Scrooge changing his nature.
    11. Rhetorical Question
    Question does not require an answer
    12. Hyperbole
    Is when you hype, when over-exaggerating.
    I am going to eat the whole restaurant.
    13. Assonance
    Is the repetition of the vowel sound.
    I am too cool for school. Oooooo
    14. Alliteration

    Example: the snake was slowly hissing
    16. Euphemism

    Where is being repeated and why is that important
    25. Noun, Verbs, Adjectives, Adverbs
    Structure
    Flashback - when you go back in time ,3 days ago etc..
    Foreshadowing - when the writer gives clue about future ‘my heart was beating fast’

    Ancient and wise, the bull swishes his tail in the ice cold refreshing water, creating zen like ripples upon its calm surface. The tail's pendulum like motion as steady and synchronised as the most sophisticated of watch mechanisms, mesmerises the other creatures who, seeking a moment's respite from the harsh, unforgiving sun, have made the long, slow pilgrimage to the watering hole. This is heaven.

So God is a god (obviously) but comparing someone to a god is not comparing them to God, but saying they are amazing and deserve to be worshiped for their abilities

    Is it allowed to write a pre-existing story for the creative writing? Not one pulled from a book, but one from perhaps a game or movie if it fit what you need to write the story about? Or do the examiners check for plagiarism? I am really not good at writing short stories. I never get past the opening and write about a lot of things that don't matter.

      You absolutely can make a description suggested by the image and then turn it into a narrative. In fact that image is just a guide you don't need to write specifically about the image but a description that is similar.

    Hi, is there any chance that you could take a look at the answer i wrote to question 5 after revising from your videos?
    so the question was: write a short story starting with "suddenly, I heard it. It was coming from the side of the passage.-
    my answer was - Suddenly, I heard it. It was coming from the other side of the passage. The approaching footstep clatters resonated through the alleyway. I knew we had made an error. I knew we had misjudged it. I thought I knew everything.
    The passage was an infinite tunnel. A trap. Crisp rolls of banknotes flooded from Lara's pockets as she gasped for breath. I could still hear it. That dreadful sound of gunshots cascading through the distorted streets. The sound that haunted me, like a sinister shadow in the dark creeping up on me. A guilty conscience. We can still get out of this, I told myself. Lara was only a child, vulnerable to this kind of turmoil. I was not. I should never have trusted him. It all started from that primal instinct to protect those closest to you, but it spiralled out of control.
    A cacophony of bulky footsteps echoed from behind us. Tap. Tap. Tap. Then in front. Tap. Tap. Tap. That was the moment. The moment I knew it was over. Lara let out an innocent shriek of terror, as she was wrestled to the ground. A single tear cascaded down her delicate skin. Her baby blue eyes gazing back at me, pleading for help. Time seemed to last forever. I let out a desperate plea. My naïve belief that someone could get us out of this. We were in too deep.
    A reflection of my life dawned on me. How we only got involved because of the poverty. "Just deliver a few packages and you'll never have to worry about money again, think of your family." I remember a voice telling me. It was over. Metal cuffs digging into my wrists as they dragged me away-
    thanks if you have read this and I'd really appreciate it if you could give me some feedback :)

    • @mrbruff
      @mrbruff  Год назад

      No, this is just one paragraph. The closest AQA have ever come to saying how long this answer should be was in the June 2017 exam report: 'A lack of planning also resulted in unnecessarily lengthy responses, where the more a student wrote, the greater the deterioration in ideas, structure and accuracy. Many students would have benefitted from a quality rather than quantity approach: having the confidence to take time to plan, and then craft a shaped and structured response in two or three sides, with time at the end to revise and improve. This would certainly have helped those who started ambitious narratives but managed to get no further than establishing the two characters because they set out to achieve the impossible in the time given.'
