A Level English Lit: CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF/ THE HELP THEME TABLE

A Level English Lit: CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF/ THE HELP THEME TABLE

(0)
I have made a table of all possible themes (20!) with a definition of the theme (as I always define the theme in the introduction which allows me to break it down into an essay plan), synonyms (so vocab is varied throughout the essay) and a mini essay plan (3 points for 3 paragraphs). Most of my essay plans repeated as most themes overlap/ mean the same thing. Having 4 main essay plans which you can use for any Q means you will never be caught out in the exam! :)

A Level English Lit: CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF/ THE HELP ESSAY PLANS

(0)
Here are all of my essay plans for all of the possible Qs for a comparison of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and The Help! They are structured as follows: Each plan has three paragraphs and each paragraph has its subject matter listed in black capitals. Each paraghraph contains a character/ relationship from Cat and a one from The Help - the chosen pairs are obviously related in some way and are able to be compared well. Under the character/ relationship is two or three main quotations and a context point (in orange) and a critical opinion (purple). The plans are condensed yet include everything needed for A star - I have written them all out in under one hour. These are all you need to learn for A star grade.
