2. QuotationsHow to set out quotations:Make your point, put it into context and set out your quotation on a SEPARATE LINE. Always introduce a quotation with a COLON. Then take a new line to continue with your paragraph.E.g.Coraline is a very brave girl at the end of the novel when the beldam is coming after her:“’No,’ said Coraline. ‘I’m not.’ And, hard as she could, she threw the black cat towards the other mother.”This shows us that she is brave because she still thinks clearly even though she is scared. She refuses to do what the beldam wants and she takes a huge risk to rescue the ghost children and her parents as well as herself. I really admire her for this, as she is clever and does not let fear control her.
3. At the start of the novel, Tommo and Charlie get on very well. They are very close and Tommo admires Charlie and really respects him. He thinks that Charlie is someone to look up to: "Charlie always knows how it is. He's three years older than me, so he's done everything and knows everything. He's strong too.”This shows that Tommo thinks his brother knows so much more about the world than he does. He looks to him for advice and guidance, and probably hopes he can be like Charlie one day. He thinks Charlie knows “everything”, suggesting a real admiration for him. Charlie also protects Tommo when he gets in to trouble, for example when he gets into a fight at school with the bully Jimmy parsons: “Makes a POINT about the textGives EVIDENCE to back the point up.EXPLAINS how the evidence backs up the pointPut your point into CONTEXTPut your point into CONTEXTMakes a POINT about the text
4. ExampleAt the start of the poem, Vernon Scannell creates an exciting, positive mood as hedescribes the beautiful fireworks as they are let off. He uses imagery and sound tocreate this mood, for example: “the frenzied whiz of Catherine-wheel Puts forth its fiery petals”Here, the Catherine Wheel is compared to a beautiful, blooming flower. This is aneffective comparison as fireworks are very colourful and do look as though they areopening like flowers as they burst into lively flames in the sky. The repetition of theletter “f” echoes the fizzing, sizzling sound that fireworks make and helps the reader toimagine what the scene sounds like, as well as what it would look like. However, even thoughwe are given a vivid picture of lovely fireworks, we are also given hints within the first threestanzas that something sinister may happen, for example: “the guy, Absurdly human phoenix, is again Gulped by greedy flames.”The image of a human-like figure being burned is quite dark, and makes us think of death. Theflames almost seem alive, as though they are very powerful and nothing can be done to stoptheir destruction. I liked the first three stanzas: Scannell has been very clever to describe aseemingly positive scene, but bury negative hints within this, as though to reflect the idea thatif someone has had a horrific experience, it is always there , buried in their subconscious witha dark life of its own, at all times.
