ok i've been thinking back about english paper 2 yesterday, and for mod b i only really talk about the eliot magi extract in the last para but in the other 2 paras i explore the 'poetic tensions' and then unpack how magi partially resolves these issues in my third para.
is that ok, or will i get marked down for not engaging closely with the extract. the most i did in the other two paras was i talked about the issue, e.g. fragmentation and then i wrote that eliot later resolves these in magi
no thats fine because you have to illustrate what tension ur talking about first right? theres no other effective way i feel as long as there is a clear arc you will be fine cus i did the same

Sorry i didnt read it fully, did you talk about the prescribed poem and one other consistently throughout your paragraphs ?

I did similar, but I said how he builds up toward his closing stanza. If u had anything along these lines or brief mentions to the closing stanza in ur other paragraphs u should be fine

i did preludes + hollow in the first two paras to establish the tensions, and then i did magi extract in the last to show how he resolves it. is that what you did?

If it’s an extract u have to constantly talk ab it in every paragraph and link it towards it, one para is not sufficient enough.. like u can still do well maybe just not above 17
