Mr Salles, I genuinely love your videos; not only are they super useful and perfect for revision, but it makes me feel a genuine interest with the extra facts you add along the way that show you genuinely do love your job. Thank you!
I don't know whether It's a hidden addiction for his content( I've watched every video, even stuff I'm not learning) or his sublime personality that is not too overbearing. And of course combined in an elegant fashion with his favourite hair cut. Never really looked at those cheese throwing videos but now I have a craving for gently placing a piece of the most splendid American cheese on his head. Sorry not sorry, if I ever meet you I'm making sure I'm wearing the most stereotypical welsh livery. Not saying I'm the biggest fan mostly because I'm a stick but I can talk, as seen with this comment. Seriously Salles iS Satisfactory. :)
Could you also say that the first quote could potentially be Shakespeare holding the two teenagers at blame instead of the parents, referencing the "loins" of Romeo and Juliet, due to a key theme of sex in the play. I think this could also link nicely with the idea of fate being used as an excuse for the two teenagers' immature and lustful behavior.
Thank you sir so much, this couldn't have been better timed! With regards to quotes in each essay, I've been given different answers. some teachers say to me to use 4-5 quotes in an essay and to "say a lot about a little" as you've once previously said whereas others said that you need a wide range of quotes as well (up to 10 or higher) in order to reach the top grades. i wanted to ask what you would recommend I do.
thank you this is really helpful your saving my GCSE! do you think you could make a video like this for An Inspector calls? or An Inspector call prediction video?
Mr Salles, for the ‘fortunes fool’ quotation, could you say that through Romeo’s youth and blind passion for Juliet, he thought he could escape his fate (which victorians believed predetermined events aka theirs and other characters deaths) and so by the noun ‘fool’ he highlights his frustration perhaps with the goddess fortuna and how love isn’t as liberating as he thought it was linking back to ‘feather of lead’ in act 1? not sure if its a stretch-
Hello Sir, thanks so much for another awesome video! I just bought your guide to English lit and wanted to ask, were you actually a strong man? (as it says you were on the back of the guide) :)
I do Eduqas so im wondering if i should use these quotes as i have a extract question and whole play one for a theme or character and anthology poetry section aswell
awesome video. what do you advise you do if you have a fitting quote that you can analyse well such as “I forgot that name, and that name’s woe” (romeo saying he doesn’t care about rosaline anymore) but you can’t identify a language technique. is there a technique in that quote by the way? i can’t see one
i dont understand how u can link it to a theme like if. it asks about fate i only use one quote for the whole novel section or do i need to know even more quotes for a specific topic?????? PLEASE HELP I DONT UNDERSTAND
you need a quote from the beginning middle and end of R+J for each theme/character (a lot of quotes overlap with the themes and characters) then depending on where the extract is you can use the quotes from the other areas (e.g. if the extract is in the middle of the play use quotes from the beginning and end of the play)
@@NowOrNever-6 try get quotes from the 7 characters the question could be on and make sure your analysis hits all 6 themes then (maximum) that’s 21 quotes but because they can overlap (like juliet and lord capulets fight) you can get away with about 15 ish (look on physics and maths tutor for all the quotes)
if u dont already know quotes, i wd say this one, as its easier to remember (plus these quotes are way shorter). Remember u still have an extract to use
