A level Paper 2 Exploring Conflict Section A - Writing About Society - The Great Gatsby

Tasks are: Re-creative writing (25 marks) and a critical commentary ( 30 marks) In this part of the subject content, students explore the ways that writers: • present people, their points of view and their relationships with others • shape the narrative structure and present events/time/places • reveal the speech and thought processes of the characters and narrator(s) • use situations of conflict to express ideas about societies and their values. In addition, students develop the skills to adapt and shape the original material (the base text) to respond to different re-creative tasks. These skills include awareness of: • the nature of monologue and dialogue • how changing point of view, genre, context, purpose, audience or mode can re-shape meanings • how undeveloped aspects of the narrative and characterisation might be developed further • the importance of specific moments in time or descriptions of place. Re-creative work seeks to find absent or underplayed perspectives in the base text – for example, the voice of a marginal character, or how an event might have been reported to a different audience – and create a new text in order to enrich the critical reading of the original.

As part of their study, students analyse areas relevant to the study of drama and dramatic discourse, including how playwrights: • represent natural speech features • use language to create distinctively different characters • show characters asserting power and positioning others via their language and behaviour • use the idea of conflict to create dynamic narratives and address the wider themes of the play.
