Week 3 Task 1: Jekyll & Hyde analytical paragraph

Write an analytical paragraph answering the question below. You may use the quotes and sentence stems provided.
In this extract from Chapter 1, Mr Enfield is telling Mr Utterson about an incident he witnessed which ended
with a visit to a house on the street they are walking.
How does Stevenson present Hyde as a terrifying character in this extract?

All at once, I saw two figures: one a little man who was stumping along eastward at a good walk,
and the other a girl of maybe eight or ten who was running as hard as she was able down a cross-
street. Well, sir, the two ran into one another naturally enough at the corner; and then came the
horrible part of the thing; for the man trampled calmly over the, child's body and left her screaming
on the ground. It sounds nothing to hear, but it was hellish to see. It wasn't like a man; it was like
some damned Juggernaut. I gave a view halloa, took to my heels, collared my gentleman, and
brought him back to where there was already quite a group about the screaming child. He was
perfectly cool and made no resistance, but gave me one look, so ugly that it brought out the sweat on
me like running. The people who had turned out were the girl's own family; and pretty soon, the
doctor, for whom she had been sent, put in his appearance. Well, the child was not much the worse,
more frightened, according to the Sawbones; and there you might have supposed would be an end to
it. But there was one curious circumstance. I had taken a loathing to my gentleman at first sight. So
had the child's family, which was only natural. But the doctor's case was what struck me. He was the
usual cut-and-dry apothecary, of no particular age and colour, with a strong Edinburgh accent, and
about as emotional as a bagpipe. Well, sir, he was like the rest of us; every time he looked at my
prisoner, I saw that Sawbones turn sick and white with the desire to kill him. I knew what was in his
mind, just as he knew what was in mine; and killing being out of the question, we did the next best.
We told the man we could and would make such a scandal out of this, as should make his name
stink from one end of London to the other. If he had any friends or any credit, we undertook that he
should lose them.

Week 3 Task 2: Macbeth analytical paragraph
Write an analytical paragraph answering the question below. You may use the sentence stems provided.
At this point in the play, Act 3 Scene 2, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are discussing their thoughts following the
murder of Duncan.
How does Shakespeare present the theme of morality?

LADY MACBETH
Using those thoughts which should indeed have died
With them they think on? Things without all remedy
Should be without regard: what's done is done.
MACBETH
We have scotch'd the snake, not kill'd it:
She'll close and be herself, whilst our poor malice
Remains in danger of her former tooth.
But let the frame of things disjoint, both the worlds suffer,
Ere we will eat our meal in fear and sleep
In the affliction of these terrible dreams
That shake us nightly: better be with the dead,
Whom we, to gain our peace, have sent to peace,
Than on the torture of the mind to lie
In restless ecstasy. Duncan is in his grave;
After life's fitful fever he sleeps well;
Treason has done his worst: nor steel, nor poison,
Malice domestic, foreign levy, nothing,
Can touch him further.

Week 6 Task 2: Unseen Poetry
Read the poem below and answer the question that follows

The Richest Poor Man in the Valley

On the outside
he seemed older than he was.
His face was like a weather map
full of bad weather
while inside
his heart was fat with sun.

With his two dogs

he cleared a thin silver path
across the Black Mountain.
And when winter
kicked in
they brought his sheep
down from the top
like sulky clouds.

Harry didn’t care for things

that other people prize
like money, houses, bank accounts
and lies.
He was living in a caravan
until the day he died.

But at his funeral

his friends’ tears
fell like a thousand
diamonds.

In ‘The Richest Poor Man in the Valley’, how does the poet present ideas about living a happy and contented life?
