i can help you with this, i am 14 so i am doing my GCSEs although i am doing othello ATM not romeo and juliet. I hope i can help though :)
all i have so far is the title
How does William Shakespeare create tension in act 3 scene 1. Discuss this in relation to characters language and structure.
it aint really fair it was meant to be done in year 10 but i was ill and no one in my class will share notes there all a bunch of cock jokeys.
i know i have to start with an introduction describing verona and the fued between capulets and what ever the other group were called
Best advise i can give is to pick two or three quotes that you feel are important to the question and then build your answer around them.Quote:

I would write these quotes out and then brainstorm from there.
The trick with English is that you can write whatever you want but you have to back it up with evidence.
Introduction: Answer question briefly.
Middle part: Expand on the intro, provide evidence and use quotes.
Conclusion: re word intro.
If you get stuck google it and see what others have done with R+J essays, this always helps me when I get stuck on my essays.
thanks for that
:rolleyes:
Just tell them it's a load of bollocks.
Not shakespear, the question.
The thing to remember about Shakespear's work is that it was high quality satire. A sort of 16th century Spitting Image. Shakespear didn't indulge in some sort of writing competition which a lot of these questions seem to imply, he was part of a commercial venture the purpose of which was to entertain. If it didn't entertain, nobody came to watch and they didn't make any money.
My advise is to attack the question, and show it for the tripe it is.
Edit: Then apply for that roadsweeper's job. :lol:
This is exactly how I felt about Shakespeare when I was at school.Quote:

I was constantly questioning the questions set. The deeper meaning they tell you is behind half of his works is a load of crap.
Of course I ended up with detention to discuss this in greater detail on a lot of occasions and what did that teach me?
Dont voice an opinion and conform :angry:
a roadsweeper once shouted at me and my mate while we were at lunch on work experience - he thought we got loadsa money and shouted what he got :P
kinda scary :blink:
