paper 2
Paper 2 is a comparative exam. In this assessment, you deep-dive into two literary works that you have studied and think about the similarities and differences in how both works address a key issue or theme. In order to do this, you will need to pay close attention to the different stylistic features that have been used. This exam requires good knowledge of the works, as well as the ability to demonstrate clear focus and structure. The exam is worth 35% at SL; 25% at HL.
