Text1: 'The Importance of Superheroes'
Re: the avengers
Ai) What evidence does the writer offer to explain the success of the movie, <i>The Avengers</i>? Support your answer with reference to the written text.
ii) Would yhoo agree or disagree with the view that the writer has made a convincing case for the female characters mentioned in the above extract to be considered as positive role models? Support your point of view with reference to the text.
iii) How does the writer succeed in creating a piece which is both informative and entertaining? Support your answer with revenge to both the style and content of the written text.
Television and film are often accused of stereotyping both men and women in a certain way. Write a letter to a national newspaper expressing your views on the matter.

Re: based on an article in the independent about the role of the correspondent
Ai) From your reading of the above extract, outline the view of the writer, Robert Frisk, on the role of the war correspondent. Support your answer with reference to the text.
ii) In your opinion, how effectively does each of the visual help the reader to comprehend the realities of war reporting? In your answer, yhoo should refer to all of the visual images in the text.
[a picture of a reporter with an explosion behind her, a pic of a woman sitting amongst rubble, a pic of two guys in wheelchairs]
iii) Robert Fisk's style of journalism is both descriptive and persuasive. Based on your reading of the written extract above, would you agree or disagree with this view? Refer to both the content and style of the text in support of your answer. Imagine yhoo are one of the US marines who "were writing diaries of their experiences" during the Gulf War. Write two diaries entries, one before and one after your arrival in the war zone.
Text3: "In Pursuit of a Villain"
Re: extract from Sherlock Holmes
Ai) Based on your reading of the above extract, what impression do yhoo form of the fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes? Support your view with reference to the text.
ii) Both the written and the visual elements of Text 3 convey an atmosphere of tension and suspense. To what extent would yhoo agree with this statement? Refer to both of the visual images and the written text in support of your answer.
[image1 man smoking pipe other man looking at him, image2 dark outdoor pic male silhouette in centre]
iii) The above passage has all the qualities of a compelling narrative. Do yhoo agree that this extract from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's narrative, <i>The Final Problem<i/>, is rich in language and imagery? Support your answer with reference to the written text. Imagine that as a reporter for a local newspaper yhoo have uncovered an important issue in the public interest. Write a proposal to your editor in which yhoo explain what yhoo have discovered and describe how you would like to expose what yhoo have found.

If anyone may be generous enough to mail me a copy of this mock, I would be very grateful, since I am a leaving cert student looking for at least a B1 in June. I've already sat the DEB mock, and would like a more broad view of what other students experienced in their mock and how it compares with the mock I sat along with the past and sample papers.
Much Appreciated.
Hey,
Unfortunately I don't do Higher Level Maths. But have you tried asking your teacher if they have the mock cause some schools get the two mocks 0 -
