Anyone . Can anyone even try and explain what it is about and what kinda of things i should be writing in my answers

Your Man

it depends what texts your doing really, but i plan to do a paragraph on the societies represented in general, marriage, work life of the characters, and discrimination in society, thats for DOAS How many miles to bablyon and reading in the dark,
dont think youll get any essays at this stage, but when your writing it always mix and mingle the texts, ie dont write about one text for a whole paragraph, then another etc.

Use linking words..i.e This is similar to...a comparable point etc

not much there but good luck anyway

marco murphy

Your man, what will you write about exactly for Reading in the Dark please.

Thanks man

Your Man

for social divide im gonna say stuff on sectarianism...the police beating the catholics and the way the catholic celebrations werent officially resognised while the prods ones were,
For work life: the way the father couldnt go n the holiday cos he had to work,
The role of women...deanes mother is a housewife etc
actually youve made me realise i really need to go over it!
