Tips to Ace AT2

  • Emulate Steinbeck’s Style
    • Accent
    • Removing End of Verbs
    • Imagery
      • Does not have to be perfect imagery, must be dependent on the character you choose (e.g. it is not realistic that Lennie will have intense imagery)
      • Use imagery such as auditory, olfactory, gustatory, visual, and tactile imagery
        • This type of vocabulary will assist you in Year 11 and 12
    • Symbolism
      • For example …
        • Lennie is portrayed as a dog
        • Candy’s dog is shot in the field
        • George shoots Lennie near the river
  • Understand Characterisation
    • Understand the character and their voice
  • Portray Marginalisation
    • Effectively portray how characters are marginalised (without being explicit)
  • Allude to Scene
