This is Important ('A' level exam requirements)
Questions from Lit A class have prompted me to condense the requirements of your A level exam:
For your H2 paper
You have done: 1) Murder in the Cathedral, 2) Wilfred Owen's poetry, and you will soon cover 3) Heart of Darkness
Three essays
1) PC (either prose/poetry/drama from 20th Century) -- comment critically on piece with respect to theme and style characteristic of the period. The question might ask you to focus on a particular literary feature.
2) Comparison question: Use 2 of your 3 texts to answer a question which requires you to compare the texts in relation to theme and/or style of the 20th century period
3) One essay on the remaining text that you did not use in the comparison question.
Prep work in this case would require you to be very familiar with the thematic and stylistic features of twentieth-century writing, which can be applied/derived from the three texts that you have studied in depth. You will also need to cross-examine the three texts to find connections/comparisons/contrasts between the texts to answer your comparison question.
