to another video you've got mred to
everything English and I know you guys
are in full revision mode you are
learning your quotes you are learning
your techniques you are learning your
analysis and you're trying to predict
what is going to come up in the exam but
guys what if I told you that none of
that matters anymore because you've got
Mr Everything English and I've got your
back because I believe that I have
created the ultimate essay plan that
fits every every possible question that
they can throw your way so in this video
guys let's go over that entire essay
plan everything
education tuition for maths English and
science ja and hide one essay that fits
everything let's begin in my first
paragraph guys I chose the quote AP like
Fury and for my technique I chose a
simile and I would talk about how is
compared to an animal specifically an
ape which shows he's devolved he's not
fully evolved as a human being he's
animalistic and I would link it to
Darwin's theory of evolution and I would
show the dangers of a human being trying
to do God's work in jaal trying to
create hide rather than create a fully
functioning human he's created a
devolved species and guys when I when I
zoom in I will do I will zoom into the
symbolism of Fury out of all all the
features it could have said AP like
power AP like hearing AP like eyesight
it chose the idea of losing control the
fury the anger and it shows you how
primitive hide actually is that's that
paragraph there paragraph number two
guys I chose the weather we need the
weather somewhere in there and the best
weather quote for me is in chapter 4
when it says the fog rolled over the
city beautiful and guys for my technique
I'm going to do personification I'm
going to talk about how the fog is
rolling how he
slowly coming over the city of London
and it's the idea guys that the fog
represents society and the sins of
society and how the people of this city
is doomed because almost evil is taking
over and guys you can also link it to
pathetic fallacy as your Technique now
when I zoom in guys I'm going to zoom in
and talk about the gothic genre a big
Convention of the gothic genre is that
it loves to weaponize the weather loves
it and the weather's always dark and the
weather is always evil and the weather
itself tells the story it's a aid and I
use the phrase It's a weapon so when
Hyde commits evil acts the fog comes
down to help him out and that is the
convention of the gothic genre that is
paragraph number two so so far guys I've
got language language language and now
I've got a bit of form when I talk about
the weather in context of the gothic
genre paragraph number three guys one of
my favorite quotes the animal Within Me
licking the chops of memory lovely quote
to show The Duality the battle that he's
having now this idea now guys my
technique is zoomorphism because jaal is
giving himself animal features but the
animal Within Me licking the chops of
memory guys it's
salivating hide is dying to come out
imagine your favorite meal and then your
mouth goes watery that's what hide in
Jackal is doing is dying the battle
between good and evil and evil is
bursting to make an appearance and guys
for me this is foreshadowing why is it
foreshadowing I I I I say this quote is
similar to the quote in McBeth act like
an innocent flower but be the serpent
the evil side the serpent always wins in
this one because the animal is licking
the chops of memory it shows that it's
salivating it's enjoying it and that
feeling will eventually take over and
the evil will come out and win and that
is why I link it to Freud and the ID
because it shows you that ultimately man
when in a jeel battle when when faced
with good and evil evil tends to win
because man is a big slave to his desire
is a slave to their it and my last
paragraph is the infamous quote guys is
the quote that everyone and their dad
and their dog knows trampled calmly when
describing how Hyde behaves with that
girl now oxymoron guys because trampling
is a very aggressive act the adverb
calmly shows how he has no remorse no
feelings and so on now these are my four
quotes there's my four techniques
there's my four zooming in and there's
my two pieces of context I have
everything you need to write a grade n
essay every bit of the mark scheme has
been ticked off now on the day of your
exam out of these four quotes you only
need to use two because the other two
quotes that we're going to use we will
get them from the extract now you might
say sir are you sure you can use these
quotes for lots of different questions I
can and let me prove it Guys these are
all of the past paper questions that
have come up so guys in
2017 we had Jackal and sympathy how
would I use these quotes to talk about
sympathy when it comes to the character
of jaob first quote guys we feel sorry
for jackob because in this quote we
realize how Jackal has lost all control
he's lost all control the evil side has
come out and taken over because Hyde is
going completely ape crazy now I'll do
this one lost because it's the hardest
one to do so this one I'll do lost this
one we feel sympathy for Jackal guys
easy peasy look at the Battle he's
having to go through look how torn He Is
We realize that this is not easy for him
he's in a constant to and fro he's in a
tug of war between the good and the evil
the last one guys trample calmly how do
we feel sympathy for jaal because we see
guys the the the extreme evilness of his
evil side he attacks a young innocent
girl remember guys hide is an extension
of
jaal and it shows you how how can such a
man have such a deep disgusting
desire now how would you link the fog
one to Jackal and sympathy I would use
that to show guys how the fog
illustrates the weather illustrates how
jaal is doomed he's not going to win
because just the way the fog takes over
London the fog is a symbol of how the
evilness will take over hide sorry Jack
lovely Point all right different
question different question guys
um 2018 was about mystery and tension it
was talking about mystery and tension
let's start with number two the fog r
rolling over guys oh man it creates
massive mystery because we're wondering
what is the fog covering up what is
going to happen now that the fog is
going to conceal in the eyes of society
this one creates massive tension who's
going to win is the good side going to
win or is the evil side going to win
then guys mystery and tension AP like
Fury this creates massive massive
mystery why because it's the idea
how devolved can hide get so your point
could be that the writer creates immense
mystery through presenting hide as an
incomplete human as a reader we wonder
how devolved can't he get how insane can
he get how crazy can his actions get how
animalistic can he get what limit is
there if there is a limit and then guys
the idea of tension come on he trampled
calmly
this creates tension guys I will talk
about this quote in reference to the
rich and the poor this shows us that
divide because when he tramples calmly
it creates immense tension around and
how does he fix it take some money and
leave me alone all right guys next one
next one next one next one let's
do hide being inhuman now guys look I'm
not even picking I'm literally doing
2017 2018 2019 hide being inhuman guys
come on so easy the guy is like a monkey
first one he's animalistic uh let's that
one last again uh this one hide being
inhuman guys he's salivating over
torturing he's salivating over killing
that's how he's inhuman he seeks
pleasure in things that we're not
supposed to seek pleasure in this one
guys Hyde is inhuman because Hyde is a
slave to his his his his his ID there's
no morality there's no right or wrong he
just does whatever he feels that's that
last one now how would you link the fog
to hi's behavior being inhuman guys I
would use this quote to talk about how
Hyde uses or not Hyde Stevenson presents
Hyde as a character whose true inhuman
nature whose true disgusting nature
comes out when he knows nobody is
looking when the fog rolls over that's
the real hide you think hide is bad in
public just wait till you see hide in
private and this is a clear example
because when the fog settles he kills
sadanas Karu now guys what's my point
you can link these quotes to lots of
different
questions easy Jackal and hide is easier
why because there's not that very
there's not that many variations
quotes that talk about Hyde can be used
for jaal and quotes that can be used for
jaal can be used for Hyde because they
are both one and the same now let's end
this video by linking these quotes to my
predictions what were my predictions I
said you may get a question about the
duality of man I think I did that
already did I do that but let's just do
it again um guys duality of man this one
you can show how nature is also dual
because nature shall represent society
and these people are in society and the
whole of London is dual there's a good
and there's a bad side this one guys is
that there's a constant battle there's a
constant battle between that good and
that bad this one over here guys you can
argue that in this one duality of man is
presented as evil always winning ape
like fury it's fully taken over hi sorry
Jackal hasn't got a chance and the last
one guys Trum
calmly now this one it shows how the
duality of man is quite
deceptive because on one hand he's
trampling but he's doing it calmly so
it's as though on one hand you want to
come across as being calm and good and
nice but on the other hand you want to
be evil so it's that constant deception
that you're even trying to kid yourself
these four quotes can fit lots of
different questions
now if there's a particular one that you
struggle with don't use it you only need
two of these in your
exam go through this is what I would
advise you guys to do out of these four
you might say sir you know what I'm
going to pick these three pick your
three quots that you think can fit lots
of different questions out of these four
Once you picked your three write out
your paragraphs so go through past
papers and I just gave you examples you
might pick the
question how is how is how is a
disturbing and threatening atmosphere
created in ja HDE that was the question
for 2021 so disturbing and threatening
atmosphere and you go in there and you
plan two paragraphs using the extract
and then you go to your pre-planned
paragraphs and you might say you know
what disturbing and threatening
atmosphere I'm going to use the fog the
fog is a lovely one because the fog
shows us how the whole of London is is
is Disturbed is doomed that's my first
paragraph pre-planned and then I'm going
to use a disturbing and threatening I'm
going to do this one it's very very
threatening because we're wondering
who's going to win is the good guy going
to win is the bad guy going to win is
the animal going to win or is jaal going
to win but do you see guys these four uh
paragraphs can fit almost any essay on
Jackal and hide use them in your exam
exam but between now and Monday write
out the paragraphs so when you go into
your exam you have an idea as to what
you're doing for half of your
exam all right guys I hope you found
this video beneficial it's been this to
everything
English peace
