For some evaluation in lines 78-81, you can say the father has an immediate clear view for her future implying he may think about her and care for her, despite the neglect he is presented as showing at the beginning of the extract. However this also could mean he just cares about her future and therefore his status in his job, and it may stem from a selfishness as it will be known his children have become successful, reflecting him as a ‘good’ father. Idk I just made that up whilst typing
Agreed. Given the context that the events took place in the 1950s, with mass immigration from the mainland to Hong Kong, it wouldn't come as a surprise that Adeline's father had everything planned out for the sake of a stable future for her (as seen in "foolproof profession"). As a Hongkonger myself, I'd say this is pretty much the norm when it comes to typical Asian parenting.
One thing we can add is that the short paragraph of happiness foreshadows the temporary happiness she will feel. I even had a feeling that the last dialogue 'thank you very much' uses a sarcastic tone, because only half of her wish is being fulfilled.
The parallel made with the butler in lines 17&18 can be extended - as we see later in the text, Adeline’s father gives her strict instructions regarding her future, and she gladly plans to carry them out Yes, I could probably have phrased this better
This is my final video out of this series. I just wanted to thank you so much for teaching all of us so well. I’ve spend the last 4 days invested in your content, and I believe it will pay off tomorrow in my exam. Thank you so much Mrs. Rumsey❤
I think that possibly the lack of connection between her father and herself is also emphasised when it mentions that Hong Kong is proud of her yet her father is only "quite pleased"
Hi Mrs R , I’m really grateful for your amazing videos that have helped me through the first half of my GCSES however, could you possibly do an analysis of ‘Night’ in purple pack ? Thanks!
Thanks very much to your video! But I actually interpreted the last few paragraphs as a shift in her mentality...that she was first given the decision-making power and suddenly the power was taken back. Then she was dissatisfied yet numb about her father's sentence(decision) so that she had nothing else to opt for but to obey. What do you think of my analysis, or she was just exhilarating about the possible escape?
I think she was enthusiastic about it. She went from not knowing what her future would be like, not even knowing if these would be her final weeks in school to being granted her wish to study in England. Her decision to do literature was rash and in the moment with hardly any prior planning. The quote 'bliss was it in that dawn to be alive' shows her exhilaration. Despite being given the short end of the stick and made to do obstetrics, as controlling and unfair to her as that is, she doesn't seem to acknowledge in it the final few lines.
the capitalisation of little sister is a direct translation from chinese culture, from what i recall, its not blatantly indicative of any hierarchal positions.
omg i had this exam today and your analysis video really helped!! thank you so much! could you please make videos on section 2 of the anthology for english language paper 2 as well:)
“It was my turn and I threw the dice”- connotations of risk and uncertainty, makes the reader be fearful of the future which awaits her by the sense of foreboding
I have to say I dont think this is correct it's simply her throwing a set of dife in a game ... I think it's more the pathetic fallacy that builds up this tension :)
Hi Maya, I'm glad to hear the videos have been helpful. Unfortunately, it is unlikely I'll have any Paper 2 extracts uploaded by Thursday. All the best.
It is two that that are mentioned close together but are complete opposites. Like mentioning “death” and “life” in the same sentence. You could search it up. Or in this text, how home usually makes you feel comforted and safe, but she feel a sense of dread instead.
I accidently stole this book from my european class in french guiana, i took it, read it and forgot to give it back, hell i even forgot to at least bring it to france, i suck.
Only videos online that go through the anthologies in so much detail and so well. Many many thanks!

The first time i read this book i was 11 years old, i re-read it recently and i am simply so interested by it, its so heartbreaking and educating
I think that possibly the lack of connection between her father and herself is also emphasised when it mentions that Hong Kong is proud of her yet her father is only "quite pleased"
That is top quality stuff right there
This was the passage we got in iGCSE English
Thanks so much this really helped me x
Thanks a lot, my exams are tomorrow, and this video helped me a lot!!!
You were right, it wasn't thoughts and feelings, it was relationship with family members
hi, what was the exact question?
Hi Mrs R , I’m really grateful for your amazing videos that have helped me through the first half of my GCSES however, could you possibly do an analysis of ‘Night’ in purple pack ? Thanks!

Hi Mrs R thank you so much for your help,
do you think it is possible that you do the paper2 extracts by Thursday?
Hi Maya,
I'm glad to hear the videos have been helpful. Unfortunately, it is unlikely I'll have any Paper 2 extracts uploaded by Thursday. All the best.
Excuse me miss
Can u tell the meaning of juxtaposition
It is two that that are mentioned close together but are complete opposites. Like mentioning “death” and “life” in the same sentence. You could search it up. Or in this text, how home usually makes you feel comforted and safe, but she feel a sense of dread instead.
Thanks man
Amazing analysis as usual
Anyone else March 2021?
Helped with my exam thanks
can someone explain what juxtaposition means ? I dont understand the google defnition
Basically two contrasting things placed close together eg. 'It was a matter of life or death'
@@coolguy3943 thanks

Structure ??
Are you asking what are the structural points? Anything to do with repetition, sentence types, contrast, juxtaposition, etc are all structural points.
young and dyslexic clear.
Anyone here for 2023?
