English A exam practice: Evaluate Paper 1 thesis and line of argument

A student needs a thesis for a guided analysis of a New Zealand memoir extract. Choose the focus that gives the essay a clear line of argument. Enter the analytical focus, evidence choice, and technique choice, then choose the interpretation that best explains the reader 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.
