I use direct quoting, as well as detailed reference, avoiding retelling the story. In my related texts, I link the themes through characters, and specific themes such as sleep and dreaming. I have a strong Intro and conclusion.

So, can anyone help me as to how I get those extra marks?

Thanks.

okay that sounds like loads of stuff to say but, are you really answering the question or just saying everything you know and hoping for the best.
Good stuff, linking the themes with the characters but are you reinforcing it with techniques, like stage directions and language features.
just dont waffle on keep it sharp and sweet.

Usually isn't it the little things like spelling/grammar/structure/vocab. that cause someone to lose one or two extra marks?


Or your teacher just hates you.

when you say themes do you mean the concepts of the journey like that other chick was saying (i.e. imag journeys take you to new places, lead you to new experiences etc) or do u mean themes like magic, love, war etc. ?
