AO1: use textual references, including quotations, to support and illustrate interpretations.

Common trap

A Taste of Honey: confusing plot summary vs analysis: Keep plot summary vs analysis clear. Make a claim, use brief textual evidence, analyse the writer's method and explain how it shapes meaning, context, theme, character or comparison. Text-specific focus: A Taste of Honey is not interchangeable with the other 8702 texts. For this modern text response, anchor the paragraph in identity and family, then use brief textual evidence to explain how the writer develops gender roles. A useful A Taste of Honey answer can contrast poverty with independence, because that gives the analysis a text-specific line of argument instead of a reusable AO paragraph. Method work should notice how language, form or structure frames social realism. Context should be used only when it clarifies interpretation, reader response or audience response. When comparison is relevant, compare both texts or poems directly: whereas one detail may suggest identity, another may reveal family or gender roles. Keep the vocabulary exact: character, speaker, narrator, writer, poet and playwright are not the same role, and the evidence must be explained after it is selected.
