Heyy fellow English Extension Student here united in our suffering
So the potential unseen critical response question in Lit. Worlds, in some way shape or, form, the question will inevitably fall into the themes of 'how does this text invite audiences to a literary world' or 'how does this text portray a literary world'..
How I plan on answering this question (if it potentially pops up which I'm begging no plez), is that I'd structure it based on the different 'elements' of what constitutes to a Literary world. My teacher gave us the following list as a guide:
Why do artists create fictional worlds? Some answers may include:
- Its personal you escape to other places and develop (personal growth model)
It broadens your experience and knowledge (cultural literacy)
It immerses you in the beauty of language (cultural heritage model)
It can be a profound experience of human meaning/the effectiveness of literature (cultural heritage model)
It helps you explore human values morality and ethics from a distance writers can present ideas, values, views that can be tried on and decided upon (liberal humanist values)
I tried my hand at planning a response for the stimulus on the sample paper, and it's a structure that seems to work for me
With this structure, I'd analyse the unseen and try to pinpoint the key ideas, and link them to respective language forms and feature, and these would form my body paragraphs. I also prepped a general thesis statement for Literary Worlds just to hopefully make things easier in the exam. Unseen criticals will always be near-identical to the rubric, so don't forget to use alot of the rubric terminology or fancy as 'Literary-World's-esque' words like mimesis
Good luck!!
