Writers’ Viewpoints and Perspectives

• You will have one hour to read and answer questions on two non-fiction texts.• One text will always be from the 19th century and one text will be from the 20th

or 21st century.• You will have to answer four questions.• You should spend about 5 minutes reading the extracts and questions before

you begin to write up your answers. You then have 10 mins to read throughout Section A when you need to.

This question is based on Source A

The Great Fire of London of September 1666 was one of the most famous incidents in Stuart England. It was the second tragedy to hit the city in the space of 12 months. Just as the city was recovering from the Great Plague, the inhabitants had to flee the city once again – this time not as a result of a disease, but the result of as human accident. The Great Fire of London, arguably, left a far greater mark on the city when compared to the plague.

The facts about the fire are simple:

The fire started in Pudding Lane. The fire started in a baker’s shop owned by Thomas Farriner – who was the king’s baker. His maid failed to put out the ovens at the end of the night. The heat created by the ovens caused sparks to ignite the wooden home of Farriner. In her panic, the maid tried to climb out of the building but failed. She was one of the few victims of the fire. Once it started, the fire spread quickly. The city was basically made out of wood and with September following on from the summer, the city was very dry. Strong winds fanned the flames.

You need to refer to both source A and Source B for this question.The way the fire and its effects are described in each of the texts is different.Use details from both sources to write a summary of the differences.

Writing a Response for Question 2In Source A, the writer presents the fire as having relatively little effect in terms of deaths in the quotation, “she was one of the few victims of the fire”. This tells us that the writer is initially only considering the damage done in terms of people losing their lives.

On the other hand, the writer of Source B shows how people’s lives were massively affected by the fire, even if they survived themselves. “Everybody endeavouring to remove their goods” explains that people were desperately trying to save what they could of their belongings, knowing that anything they couldn’t rescue would be destroyed.

How does Pepys use language to make you understand the effects of the fire on the people and the city?

By and by Jane comes and tells me that she hears that above 300 houses have been burned down tonight by the fire we saw, and that it was now burning down all Fish Street by London Bridge. So I made myself ready presently, and walked to the Tower and there got up upon one of the high places, Sir J. Robinson's little son going up with me; and there I did see the houses at that end of the bridge all on fire, and an infinite great fire on this and the other side of the bridge.

So down, with my heart full of trouble, to the Lieutenant of the Tower, who tells me that it begun this morning in the King's baker's house in Pudding Lane, and that it hath burned down St. Magnes Church and most part of Fish Street already.

So I got down to the water-side and there got a boat and through bridge, and there saw a lamentable fire. Poor Michell’s house, as far as the Old Swan, already burned that way and the fire running further, that in a very little time it got as far as the Stillyard while I was there.

Everybody endeavouring to remove their goods, and flinging into the River or bringing them into lighters that lay off. Poor people staying in their houses as long as the very fire touched them, and then running into boats or clambering from one pair of stair by the water-side to another."

In the text the writer uses [method] to describe the effects of the fire.

For example [quotation]

This demonstrates/suggests/implies [analyse]

This is further supported by [analyse]

Pepys’ use of powerful verbs identifies the sense of panic amongst himself and others, as we are told that people were “clambering from one pair of stairs…to another”. The use of the verb “clambering” creates a sense of desperation as it connotes that people were frantically trying to escape, even risking injury to themselves as they moved as quickly as possible away from the burning buildings that they were being forced to abandon.

Wednesday, 02 December 2020

16 Marks

20 Minutes

For this question you need to refer to the whole of source A together with the whole of source B.

Compare how the writers have conveyed their views and experiences of the fire and how it is described.

In your answer, you could:

• compare their different ideas and perspectives• compare the methods they use to convey their ideas and perspectives• support your response with references to both texts.

This is the most important word in the question as it is asking you to write about the effects of the language through the techniques that the writers

have used.

This reflects the structure of our paragraphs for this question!

What are the perspectives in each of the two sources regarding the fire?

.

• Factual account of what happened.

• Establishes that although buildings were destroyed, relatively few people died.

• Offers some positives in eradicating the Plague.

• Acknowledges the initial lack of concern about the Great Fire.

• Also talks about the extent of the damage caused.

• Highlights the sense of panic which then followed.

We can see from examining both texts together they share many similar ideas and attitudes and have a similar purpose in trying

to establish the events surrounding the fire.

Writing AMEA ParagraphsIn Text A, the writer has conveyed his views on the fire through the use of [M] in the line [E]…

Both Texts A and B are accounts of what happened during the Great Fire of London. The writers’ views and attitudes are similar in each text as they bothtry to establish a series of facts, although Pepys offers a personal account in Source B, whereas Source A is purely a summary of historical events. One technique that they both use effectively is verbs to highlight an initial lack of worry. In Text A, the mayor is “not too concerned” which creates a feeling that he believed that the fire would very quickly be put out and there would not be very much damage caused; the Mayor of London is actually very complacent about what was happening. Similarly, Pepys describes his own actions and lack of concern as he “went back to bed”. This identifies that even as a bystander witnessing the fire, he didn’t understand the gravity of the situation, although for him this quickly changes when he realises just how out of control it becomes. As a first-hand account, Pepys doesn’t have the benefit of hindsight and so we see his changing feelings throughout.
