I need IN DETAIL english paper 1 and 2. can u try and put in as much qs as possible. thanks

Is it right barcode English, Higher Level? I don't have Paper 1 but I have Paper 2 so I'm gonna list Paper 2 questions in detail. I'll try to post as much of Paper 1 as possible. Idk which barcode you are but Im gonna write it anyway for others to see.

Paper 1:

Reading is about online social networking, watching TV and video games. It's about how it affects the brain of young people and why it's bad. Pretty straight forward. I don't remember all the questions but one of them asked you to explain two terms of the three, not all, just two.
They were infantalising (or something like that. Once you read the passage, it's obvious what it means. Basically it's a metaphor - basically in the passage, the author mentions that young people's brains are infantalised by e.g video games. It means that, like little infants, they are so concentrated and bewildered by the game/TV show that they have to be reminded that they still exist.
The 2nd term was "Flight or fight" or something like that. This referred to video games e.g shooters. These trigger our brain to follow our instinct, in other words, we think that we either run away or fight problems. The game does not actually trigger the logical part of the brain. It doesn't train it right.
Don't remember the 3rd term Sorry
Other questions were if you think social networking affects our ability to build relationships and stuff like that. Simple.

Personal Writing titles. Cant remember them all. Some of them were: Education is the most powerful weapon which could change the world (the one I did), Faraway hills are green (or something like that? xD Idk) and I cant remember the rest. They're pretty simple as far as I remember. You'll find something for you.

Functional Writing: The first dont exactly remember cause I didnt do that one BUT I think it was writing a letter to a magazine to be hired. The 2nd choice is to write a review of your favorite movie for a Teen Magazine.

Section 4, Media Studies. You got a choice of looking at 2 pictures and describing them in detail and then discussing which one you think delivered the message better ( I didnt do this one so I dont exactly remember the picture - I think it was about poverty and/or war - one showed apicture of crowds in Africa and the other a white father and a child hiding while officers pass by)
Second choice was writing the advantages and disadvantages of the following in terms of delivering news: Newspaper, TV, Internet, Radio
(So stuff like, newspapers are inconvenient because they cannot be updated immediately, radios are good because they have a variety of content, TV is good because it's visual and we can see footage of e.g disasters such as tsunamis, internet is good because it's easily accesible. You just name the advantages and disadvantages of each form of delivering news)
Once you write that, you have to describe which form of delivering news is the best and why (I chose TV cause I thought it was the easiest)

That's Paper 1.

Paper 2 (Got it right in front of me Im not gonna write out full plays and dramas, I'm just gonna summarize them xDI'd be sitting here all night):

Drama: Shakespearean Drama: The extract is from Twelfth Night by Shakespeare. Roughly it's about a young woman called Viola who speaks with a captain whose crew have rescued her from a shipwreck. They discuss her loss and her plans for the future. She lost her brother and they discuss him, they comfort her, she's worried that he died etc.
I didnt do this one though.

Questions: Answer two of the following.
Q1. How did Viola and her brother get separated from each other? Support your answer with reference to the text.

Q2. What do we learn about the character Orsino from this extract? Base your answer on the extract.

Q3. You have been asked to direct this play. Outline how you would direct this scene with reference to the following:
(a) Gestures by the actors
(b) Costume/dress to be worn by the actors
(c) Setting

(B) Other Drama

This is the one I did. Its taken from The Audition by Don Zolidis.
It's about how a new theatre teacher is bringing a production of a show to a high school. The scene opens with Elizabeth and her mother on the way to the audition.
Basically, her mother is very controlling and she makes Elizabeth do all these different activities that Elizabeth doesn't want to do. What confused me in this extract was Elizabeth's dialogue because one moment she tells her mom that she doesn't want to do any of this and then the next second she says "For You. I'll go to Yale. I'll marry a doctor." etc. Basically she's an idiot. I was a bit confused but it was better than Shakespearean.

Questions:
Answer 2 of the 3.
Q1. What do we learn about the character of Elizabeth from this extract? Support your answer with reference to the text. (I mentioned 3 points, and quoted like 1 or 2 quotes and explained a bit. Again, I was a bit confused so I sort of wrote what I thought. Maybe I nailed it, maybe not. I said that Elizabeth was indecisive (obviously lol), she was weak and gave up too easily (cause she was weak and didnt stand up to her mom) and she was dependent thought she wanted to be independent because her mom controls her ( Cause she stands up to her mom for 1 second and then chickens out again. This is where I may have shown a bit of confusion).

Q2. How would you describe the relationship between Elizabeth and her mother? Base your answer on the extract. (****ty, basically.)

Q3. You have been asked to play the part of Elizabeth for a classroom production of this play. How would you play your part? You might refer to tone of voice, movement, costume, facial expression etc. (I hate questions like these, didnt do this one. Thank god for choices)

Question Two.
N.B You must give the name of the play that you chose.

1. Name a play you have studied and name who you think is the main character. Explain how this character grows or changes throughout the play. (I did Scout from To Kill a Mockingbird)

OR

2. Select a play you have studied where you felt the ending was disappointing. Explain why you were disappointed and suggest a better conclusion to the play.

Poetry. I TOTALLY screwed up on this part. I'm just gonna write out the whole poem for this because I need someone to explain this to me. It seems so freaking obvious but really annoying and difficult to answer at the same time. I could only make like, 2 points on each answer from this Unseen Poem.

Poem title:

Fifteen, Maybe Sixteen Things to Worry About

My pants could maybe fall down when I dive off the diving board.
My nose could maybe keep growing and never quit.
Miss Brearly could ask me to spell words likes "stomach" and "special" (Stumick and speshul?)
I could play tag all day and always be "it".
Jay Spievack, who's 14 feet tall, could want to fight me.
My mom and dad - like Ted's - could want a divorce.
Miss Brearly could ask me a question about Afghanistan. (Who's Afghanistan?)
Somebody maybe could make me ride a horse.
My mother could maybe decide that I need more liver.
My dad could decide that I needed less TV.
Miss Brearly could say that I have to write script and stop printing. (I'm better at printing.)
Chris could decide to stop being friends with me.

The world could maybe come to an end on next Tuesday.
The ceiling could maybe come crashing on my head.
I maybe could run out of things to worry about.
And then I'd have to do my homework instead.

Questions:
Answer ALL questions (3 questions)
Q1. What do we learn about the speaker in this poem? Support you answer with quotation from the poem. ( I think I forgot to quote o_o I'm screwed.)
Q2. Why does Miss Brearly cause so much concern for the speaker? Explain your answer with reference to the poem.
Q3. Do you like how the poem ends? Explain your answer.

Question Two:
Give title of the poem you chose and name the poet.

1. Youth and old age are very common themes in poetry. Choose a poem that you have studied that explores either childhood or old age. How does the poet deal with this theme?

OR

2. From the poetry you have studied, choose one poet whose work you particularly enjoyed. Explain why you liked his/her work with reference to their poems.

Fiction:

This is an extract taken from the novel The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 and three quarters by Sue Townsend.
It's about a boy whose parents dont really take care of him well, they get drunk and he's pretty unhappy. His dog runs away, he grows a big zit on his chin, he has a crap diet and doesnt get Vit. C and his mom ignores his requests to improve their lifestyle. I hated the questions on this. Meh, I didnt like Paper 2 overall. Btw, this is written in a journal/diary way e.g

"Thursday, January 1st."
Blahblahblah

"Friday, January 2nd."
blahblahblah

It's a pretty long story, goes on for 2 pages and a bit.

Questions: (Answer 2 of 3)
1. Is Adrian a happy teenager? Explain your answer with reference to the text.
2. What do we learn about Adrian's parents from the text?
3. Do you think this extract is humorous? Support your answer with reference to the text.

Question Two
Answer EITHER Question 1 or Question 2

Name the text you chose and author
1. From a novel or short story you have studied, choose a character who had to overcome great difficulties.
(a) Outline the difficulties the character faced, supporting your answer with reference to the novel/text.
(b) Do you admire this character? Give reasons for your answer
( I did Romeo from Romeo & Juliet )

OR

2. Choose a novel or short story that you have studied which contained humour. Discuss how the author used humour to entertain and interest the reader.

Phew, that's it. I must say Paper 1 was easy as hell. I was finished it pretty quickly, had like 30 mins left or something.
Paper 2 on the other hand was a bit trickier for me since we haven't done enough for it yet. Didnt really like Paper 2.

Anyway, this is RIGHT BARCODE Higher Level English

On English paper 2 LEFT BARCODE does anyone know what the unseen poem was?? So I don't study that one

Unseen Poem was called "The Young Dead Soldiers" by someone called Archibald... 2 of the questions were "According to the author, what are the young dead soldiers saying?" and "Discuss your thoughts/feelings as you read this poem".

what subjects have you done?
