There wasn't much difference compared to previous years, all you should have interpreted the question in a metaphorical sense, the only surprise was the Module A extracts.

Omg B and C where easy it was just rewrite your essay. Any technique used in a narative is a narative technique so just dicuss and the meanings. C was gold also just another rewrite essay. A was pretty bad but.

I liked the tarnsformations question and history/memory question. However the critical study question with narrative techniqies was a bit harder. However I feel I still penend a good essay for it.

I liked it. They gave us really easy topics and didn't pull a different text type for the response on us. I felt like jumping around happily during reading time when I realized. :D

Frontline question was the most generic question of them all. Mod A and B were a bit spooky, but I like them all compared to last years.

I actually prefer last years questions, especially for 'In the Wild' and 'Poetry' in section 1 and 2, but I got through them ok. I didn't realy like poetry and poetic techniques, got a fit side tracked by that :(

This was a really good exam, the questions were pretty easy and they didn't specify any annoying text types.
Only thing that let me down was that I didn't quite finish my Mod A response.
