Marking points
- 1 Compares both poems' presentation of a young person's viewpoint.
- 2 Addresses ideas/attitudes, tone/atmosphere, and effects of language and structure.
Why this answer loses marks
Both speakers are young, so the poems present the same happy viewpoint.
This flattens the comparison and does not analyse voice, structure or imagery to explain the different viewpoints.
