Of Mice and Men Language re-take 3

Re-capping Language analysis

Language (Point: Start a paragraph / Make a point) Quote: Choose evidence from text Explanation: What this shows / does Analysis: HOW the writer creates this effect….

WARNING Analysis is NOT just identifying language features. You MUST analyse the effects of language. If you identify language features without any analysis you will NOT get into a C grade.

HOW does language create effects? This language… Emphasises Accentuates Highlights This creates for the audience (evocative language) / makes the audience feel (emotive language) … Sound: Consonants Vowels Rhymes Alliteration Onomatopoeia Sentence structure: Does the text use short or long sentences? Are there a lot of clauses? What kind of punctuation is used? Descriptive patterns: What adjectives and adverbs does the writer use? Do the convey similar meanings? Does the language remind you of another situation / environment / event / person / accent?

Still stuck? Ask yourself simply: What did I think of when I read that? Why did I think that?

Improving our analysis Please please PLEASE don’t write ‘shows’ every time you are analysing a piece of language. There are so many other alternatives… Illustrates Depicts Coveys Connotes represents

Improving our writing Likewise, try and use some of these connectives / sentence starters to vary your sentences and make your writing more interesting: However Although Furthermore In contrast Arguably

Exam practice Question b)

The extract We are going to practise question b) so we don’t need to look at the extract. The one they used in the exam was from Section 3. It was where George and Lennie were in the bunkhouse talking about the dream.

The exam questions: b)In the novel, hopes and dreams for the future are important. Explore what you learn about hopes and dreams in one other part of the novel. You must use examples of the language the writer uses to support your ideas.

Which parts of the novel could we use? Part of the novelSection / Page number (fill in!) George and Lennie discuss their dream Crooks wants to join the dream Curley’s wife’s hopes for the future

Now choose one of these and try writing an answer. Remember that in the exam you must write 3 or 4 good paragraphs for this question, if not more.
