Common mistakes

  • Power and Conflict: 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. For Power and Conflict, compare both poems directly: whereas one brief textual detail may suggest one effect, the other may reveal a different meaning through language, form or structure. This evidence supports the claim and keeps character, speaker or narrator distinct where relevant. Text-specific focus: Power and Conflict is not interchangeable with the other 8702 texts. For this poetry anthology comparison, anchor the paragraph in authority and war, then use brief textual evidence to explain how the writer develops identity. A useful Power and Conflict answer can contrast memory with resistance, 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 comparative structure. 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 authority, another may reveal war or identity. 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.
