      A bob was slang for one shilling. (We might call one dollar a "buck" in the same way.) Dickens used that as a pun since it was also Bob's first name.

    could you also argue that dickens really highlights the importance of fatherhood becasue his own father abandoned him in his childhood becasue he was sent to a debtors prison? this led charles and the rest if his family to have to go to the workhouse so could you argue it is ultimately his father fault that he experienced poverty at a young age ?

    This video is great and the ideas are brilliant, however I feel like the person reviewing my essay will not understand or care about how long Bob had to walk or may see it as irrelevant showing how Scrooge wasn’t a miserly boss? Am I being a bit of a silly guy and they will take this into account and possibly research it to see if I’m just waffling or will they save their time and ignore the point? Thank you for the good videos tho I have been watching a lot!

    I find it odd that the English education system neglects writers such as Jules Vern who is arguably a more intelligent writer than those included in the current GCSE curriculum, given he heavily influenced the construction of the design and propulsion of submersibles, and calculated the trajectory required for one to get to the moon with minimal mistakes considering the information available at the time.

      follow what your name says and revise themes, and of course within themes there are quotes you should know and be able to analyse in detail while providing more than one point of view. Mr Salles did say out of the 2 questions you're given in the exam, choose the theme one as it's easier to be exploratory and critical

I'm a little bit anxious about the results though - I'm hoping for a grade 9 but I actually got my paper taken off me about 15/20 mins into the exam by a invigilator due to a misunderstanding with highlighting which was later resolved to be a mistake so I basically wasted 10 mins copying my answers down again. Totally freaked me out in the exam but I believe I answered all the questions alright and my story wasn't horrendous so fingers crossed it doesn't cost me much. How'd it go for you?
