AO3: show understanding of the relationships between the text and the contexts in which it was written. In Whole text and nineteenth-century novel response, use brief textual evidence, explain the writer's method, and link the effect to a precise interpretation. Text-specific focus: Great Expectations is not interchangeable with the other 8702 texts. For this Shakespeare response, anchor the paragraph in class and identity, then use brief textual evidence to explain how the writer develops ambition. A useful Great Expectations answer can contrast guilt with social mobility, 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 narrative voice. 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 class, another may reveal identity or ambition. 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.
