| Which element of SITE tends to be the focus of question 4? | Theme(s) Question 4 is the question which will ask you to evaluate the text as a whole. Generally you are asked to evaluate the presentation of the main theme of the extract. |
| What is the difference between ideas and themes? | A theme is a big issue, usually something topical, whilst an idea is how the writer feels about their theme. You can work out how the writer feels by looking at the kinds of language they use to present their themes, which characters and events are associated with particular themes and the way the theme develops over the course of the text as whole. |
| How does this event from Tess of the D'urbervilles relate to the themes of the text? | Tess is finally arrested at Stonehenge, at sunrise. This has connotations of Pagan sacrifice to a false God, the Sun. As such it ties in with the themes of injustice and sacrifice that run throughout the text. |

How does Charles Dickens signal the symbolism of his settings to his readers? | Dickens, along with other C19th writers, often gave the people and places in his novels symbolic names e.g. Coke Town is the name of the industrial city in Hard Times whilst Mr M'Chokeumchild is the name of the school master! |
| When looking at the events in a prose fiction extract are you dealing mainly with aspects of language or structure? | You are mainly dealing with aspects of structure because the events, the order in which they happen and how they relate to one another provide the overall structure of the text. |
