Detailed resource produced by a Grade 9 student, taught by a teacher experienced in marking for the AQA exam board, revising quotations for the themes of inner conflict and the effects of war in ‘Bayonet Charge’. The analysis of each quote is broken down into bullet points, covering AO1, AO2 and AO3 (context), and can be used as the basis for an essay paragraph. The end of the document also suggests poems which Bayonet Charge can be compared to for both themes, providing three AO1 points about how the poems are similar or different.
