Text 1 was amazing. I discussed the colour choice, his facial expression, where he was situated and the caption.

I did Section 1 last, and finished right on pens down. I'm not sure how coherent part (e) was though, since I had to rush it.

Seriously thought this was the hardest section of the paper, how much did everyone write for the questions?
Text 4 I found to be the hardest

I thought text two was a grandfather/great-grand father although I wasn't sure so I just labelled him an "ancestor".

Yeah, I was undecided between grandfather and great-grandfather, but I figured they wouldn't mark it down.

I almost called the author in text 4 'she' though, luckily I checked the author's name...

I think they were all okay besides Text 2. I had no idea what was going on. Who was who?? Definitely 0 or 1 out of two for that one.

text 2 was like what am i reading

so yeah. totally forgot enjambement existed though that would have been an easy technique

otherwise text 1 was okay, text 3 was also quite okay. text 4 I had to read a little deeper because I almost got the wrong interpretation of it when I was about to do the 3 marker q

Haha I started with 'parent' and then changed it to 'ancestor' :)

But I don't feel confident about section 1 overall

Is it him as a grandfather or is he the grandfather and speaking from that perspective? WTF So confusing...
