English A exam practice: Analyse motif patterns in literary extracts

A novel extract about a hidden argument repeats an object with a changed meaning. Choose the focus that best explains how the pattern develops. Choose the analytical focus, evidence choice, and technique choice, then select the interpretation that best explains meaning, reader position, audience response, or comparison.

Worked practice: build the analysis

Construct the analysis one move at a time, the way an examiner reads it: focus, evidence, technique, then effect.
