English A exam practice: Analyse patterns of imagery across an extract

A novel extract that repeats images of broken glass repeats a sensory image several times. Choose the focus that explains how the image pattern shapes mood or theme. 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.
