Lately I’ve been thinking how hard it is to find a novel I truly enjoy. I start so many, then give up. It makes me wonder: in theory, is it possible to write the kind of novel you’d love to read? Not for fame or fortune, but for the enjoyment?

Scrooge’s miserliness isn’t only social — it’s personal. He lives in darkness, cold, and isolation. This isn't someone who lives lavishly and needs to share it around: his life is as empty and joyless as his moral outlook. What is the significance of this?

I get this question a lot, and yes I am sure! November 2017 was two narrative options. You will not ALWAYS be able to choose between narrative and descriptive in AQA P1Q5.

Something surprising about non-fiction language analysis in AQA English Language Paper 2 (and, by extension, its use in P2Q5) đź§µ

The practical takeaway: Students should USE the same language features in Paper 2 Q5 that they already use (often brilliantly ) in Paper 1 Q5. Examples can be found in my guide to English Language: amzn.to/2GvPrTV
