MEMORABLE/SIGNIFICANT: How does the writer make Marco a memorable character
Besides focussing on the change in character using paired opposites (from modest to cocky), one has to describe the SHOCK of the change.
"This change is memorable because I did not expect Marco to be so affected by the arrest. After all, he had said that he would go if Eddie wished him to. However, perhaps the public humiliation or shock of leaving in front of this way made him want to shame Eddie publicly as well. The consequences of Marco's spit also makes me realise that Eddie will probably have to suffer later like Vinny whom Eddie mentioned had betrayed his Uncle, making this scene memorable with an important change in character and their fates.
CHARACTER: Do you agree that Mr. Chawla is a noble/admirable character?
This person did well in stating their impression and explaining why the character's behaviour creates that impression. She also elaborated on the consequences of that behaviour on others.
Furthermore she contrasted the character's behaviour with his role as a father.
Lastly she ended by linking the idea of noble/admirable to being a good role model.
Relationship: How is Eddie and Beatrice's relationship significant in the play?
Good that the writer attempted to show how the relationship would affect the reader by covering the perspective from both Eddie and Beatrice's side to give a complete picture.
Relationship: In what ways does Desai make the relationship between Pinky and Sampath a tender one?
Good connection between the current relationship and past relationship to show the change. Could have started with bad to good rather than the other way around to prove your point better
Clear connection between what happened and the feeling it created in the narrator
Well-supported with Ev
Good link between the consequences of being abandoned and her arrival
Lacks emotion/inference from the action of birds dying. (Could have said birds dying unfairly/tragically/innocently)
Well supported in Ev. Some inference in the middle esp. "tricked" but not discussed throughout the paragraph.
Although birds' intentions were mentioned, could have linked/contrasted it to the aftermath of the humans by pointing out that the humans did not notice the harm that they had caused while driving past.
2014 Poetry: Excellent mention of literary devices "evoke the physical senses" as well as contrast with emotions/mental processes.
Good link that it is not just real but terrorises as well
2014 Poetry: Good inference by using adjectives like "vicious" and "vital organs" to add a second dimenion to your points.
Excellent link that connects your feelings with theirs as well to acquire personal insight!
