| Publisher Description: Charles Dickens' "Great Expectations" is a core text for English Literature Exams. It is part fairy tale, part love story, part detective drama, with elements of the gothic, and a healthy dash of humour. But - and here is the problem for every student sitting more than one exam this summer - it is a long read. .. Even at a brisk pace, it is likely to take 30 hours cover to cover. And, at this stage in your exam preparation, that may well be time you just do not have. This Study Guide is comprehensive and analytical enough to mean that, if you are unable to re-read the original book text you can still master the plot and - more importantly at exam level - understand both the characters and why the author chose the words that he did. Gavin's Guides are Study Guides packed with insight to help you raise your exam grade. Inside you'll: *Gain thorough a breakdown of what happens in each chapter, so that you will understand the flow of the plot. *Discover characters' true (if changing) motivations, you will be able to answer questions about them with confidence. *Learn how to make good use of quotations defines and strengthens an argument, . * Become confident at using the text of "Great Expectations" under exam conditions to strengthen your argument. *Be prepared on popular themes and master a strong essay technique . A Gavin's Guide is different from other study guides as each one is written as if a personal tutor were guiding you, the individual with the exam ahead, to outperform your expectations. |
