'Students explore how texts may give insight into the anomalies, paradoxes and inconsistencies in human behaviour and motivations,'
do you reckon they won't do a question on just the anomalies, paradoxes and inconsistencies part then tho?
but idk what else hasn't been assessed on, i mean i guess challenging assumptions?

ok wait but my text has three main experiences that i base each of my paras on. the first one is grief, so it relates strongly to the inconsistent responses to grief, and the other two each relate to anomalies and paradoxes respectively. it doesn't really overlap. how would i approach such a question then?
if the question is on anomalies, paradoxes and inconsistencies, that's a way better approach than rubric vomiting in the analysis.

for people doing ts eliot if the question is on textual integrity are we meant to talk about journey of magi because it kinda deviates a little from eliot's other poems??

also for mod A is it mandatory to discuss one dissonance and one resonant thing or can we do 2 of the same thing??

look i think it just depends on the full question there will be other components for sure if this pops up, what i would do is just mention SOMETIMES these rubric terms not all the time that will be repetitive and reduce the quality of your essay but make sure u acknowledge it in your thesis and intro, how you do this depends on how your structured your essay. since i did 1984 i will just use this as a cause and effect type thing if that makes sense??

for mod a it depends on what the question is asking you, there was times (i think) where they asked just on how the texts collide, that would require only dissonances if im correct. but if a question doesnt specify i would do resonances and dissonances to show that you have a deep understanding of both

wait @t234 can u elaborate on ur question about ts eliot
textual integrity is the overall unity of the text, how it's form/language/structure all come together to produce meaning.
journey of magi has some different use of language (reflecting eliot's own conversion in his faith) compared to the other 4 poems
so i was wondering if we should be including it or not
