Bro I swear if its on memory, Imma throw these hands. But honestly I'm hoping for a broad form specific question since the last two years of mod B questions have specific af.

Not necessarily (I believe, but someone can correct me if otherwise) ... a common thing students will do is purposefully choose short quotes, or if they have a long quote which fits their analysis, they will include an ellipsis (...) to break it in the middle

for instance, my analysis is

"Hal is constructed as pragmatic with this [i had discussed earlier] in, "If all the year...but rare accidents."

where the actual quote is

If all the year were playing holidays,
To sport would be as tedious as to work;
But when they seldom come........ etcetc

Good night everyone, have a good sleep and good luck with Paper 2. We have done it in Paper 1 now paper! Also wishing luck to everyone who is doing both Music 1 and 2! Good luck y’all. Everyone please dream about something positive like wishing it isn’t a discursive or persuasive, don’t dream negatively and think your gonna fail. Good night 🥱👊❤AA3E9F09-9D15-40D8-8616-67175451B5D2.jpeg

I think creative can mean imaginative or discursive, since you respond in a creative way.
Persuasives are more factual.
And as far as I am aware, those are the only 3 you can be asked in relation to 'crafted writing'. (The reflection is a different thing altogether)
