English A exam practice: Analyse contrast and juxtaposition in non-literary texts

A novel extract where a character avoids a hard question places two images or ideas beside each other. Choose the focus that explains what the contrast makes the audience notice. Use the visual organiser to keep the idea, proof, method, and effect connected. Choose the analytical focus, evidence choice, and technique choice, then select the interpretation that best explains meaning, comparison, or audience effect.

Worked practice: build the analysis

Construct the analysis one move at a time, the way an examiner reads it: focus, evidence, technique, then effect.
