English A exam practice: Compare literary works for Paper 2

Two literary works explore pressure on belonging through different forms. Choose the comparative focus that keeps both works in conversation. Use the organiser to keep context, authorial choice, evidence, and implication connected. Choose the analytical focus, evidence choice, and technique choice, then select the interpretation that best explains meaning 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.
