English language GCSE - AQA?

Answer 2

I think someones school has been cheating.... hmmmm? I wasnt told whats gonna be on it.

Answer 3

I am and there isn't much imagery in that one i thought.

Answer 4

Yes im doing that paper tommrow :S, In 'It's a Shared Life Cycling' the imagery use is very limited, as the article is based upon the opinion of one person. (not like 'into death valley again' -which is is a travel log type thing which contains lots of imagery as it tells a stroy and describes the landscape alot.) However The writer complains about the way cyclists are treated by the motorists so if anything hes trying to paint an image in the readers mind that motorists are selfish, cycling hating b******s really ;). Also i did find a small bit of imagery used, ' needle-sharp shards of glass' is a pretty good one and is also a metaphor. Basically just look for similes or metaphors which help the reader recreate the scene or experience in thier mind:)

Hope this helps and good luck!
