A CHRISTMAS CAROL: Complete Essay Plan |Grade 9 Analysis |Fits EVERY Question

Guys, welcome to another video. You've

got Mr. Everything English. And today we

will be doing something super important.

Everything

education, tuition for maths, English,

and science. I did this last year with

four quotes for four paragraphs. And if

you go back and you look at the comment

section of those videos, guys, it really

helped those year 11s. So this year I've

had a whole year to reflect. This year

guys I've tweaked the quotes and I'm

presenting you with six. We're going to

go over six quotes. I'm going to give

you the quote. I'm going to give you the

technique. I'm going to give you the

analysis and I'm going to talk you

through how you make this quote fit lots

of different questions. Now I'm going to

give you six different paragraphs on the

day of your exam. Remember guys, you

only need to make two of the six fit

because on the day of your exam, you are

aiming for four paragraphs. Two

paragraphs are going to be coming from

the extract that they give you on the

day. The other two will be coming from

these six. Now guys, we need these six

to be absolutely solid. Absolutely

solid. It is unforgivable. Absolutely

unforgivable. I sound like Mr. Berling.

But guys, honestly, we will not be

coming out of the exam on Monday and

none of you guys are going to message me

saying, "Sir, I just couldn't think of

any quotes. Sir, I just couldn't think

of any ideas. Sir, I only did one

paragraph." Guys, that is not happening.

Not on my watch. by hook or by crook on

that exam on Monday. All of us, every

single one of us is coming out of that

exam with four paragraphs done. Now, in

an ideal world, you want to do two

paragraphs from the extract, two

paragraphs from the whole text. But

listen to me very carefully.

If you open the extract and what they

give you on the day is something that

completely completely throws you off.

I'm talking to the point where you can't

understand it at all. Then give me or

try to give me one from the extract and

three from the six that I'm going to

give you. And worstc case scenario,

worst case

scenario, I don't want anyone saying,

"Oh, Mr. Everything English said do

this. I'm saying worst case scenario. If

you can't engage with the extract at

all, you can't even give me a paragraph.

Then you know what guys? Worst case

scenario, out of the six that I'm going

to give you, you write up four of

them. It is better to do that than to

leave your booklet

empty. What I am trying to tell you guys

is this. No matter what happens on

Monday, we are coming out of that exam

doing four full paragraphs. In an ideal

world, we are aiming for two paragraphs.

Extract two paragraphs from the whole

text. But if it comes down to it, you

have to change accordingly. But guys,

remember one thing. This is our GCSE

exam. Everything comes down to this. So

no matter what happens guys, Monday we

are doing four paragraphs. And now guys,

I will help you so much because I am now

going to go through the six quotes that

I believe can fit

99.9999% of questions. All right guys,

you ever require tuition lessons classes

link in. These are my six go-to quotes

from A Christmas Carol. And I believe I

can make these six quotes fit almost any

question. 1 2 3 4 5 and six. Now

remember guys, on the day of your exam,

you only need to make two of these fit

because the other two quotes we're going

to be getting from the extract. So you

might say to me, "Sir, you know what? I

like that quote, but I hate that quote."

That's fine. Don't use it. Use the other

five. But I truly believe these six

quotes are really good to learn because

you can make them fit lots of different

questions. And I have to say this guys

because I know there will be somebody

out there who will ask me the following.

Sir, is it plagiarism if I use your

analysis? Of course it's not because

this is just me giving you ideas. I am

teaching you. take my ideas, turn them

into paragraphs, and go smash your

GCSEs, and then thank me in August. All

right, guys. Paragraph number one, the

quote I use, my favorite go-to quote, is

the quote solitary as an oyster. And

unless you are in year five, you will

know that this is a simile because it is

comparing Scrooge to an oyster. Now,

this quote is a lovely quote because the

word solitary, solitary is what we use

for people who are in prison. That is

the kind of word we use. They are in

solitary confinement. Now Scrooge, is he

in prison? No. Well, he is kind of. But

what prison? Scrooge is lonely. Scrooge

is isolated. Scrooge is by himself. He

is solitary. But solitary gives the idea

what? That Scrooge is imprisoned by

force. Scrooge is lonely by

force. What is forcing him to be lonely?

What is forcing him to be isolated? Read

the quote. It's the oyster. It's the

oyster that is making him stuck. It's

the oyster that is making Scrooge be

isolated and by himself. So, what is

this oyster? A symbol of the oyster. I

want you guys to argue now. Let's get

that grade nine, guys. We're not in the

business of getting a grade one. We want

that nine.

The oyster is a symbol of capitalism and

that's your context link. Now what is

capitalism? Capitalism is the belief

that the most important thing in your

life is money, money, money, and

yourself. And Scrooge has bought into

that belief so much that the guy

believes he doesn't need a girlfriend.

He doesn't need a wife. He doesn't need

friends. He doesn't need family. He

truly believes that as long as he's got

money, he's good. He is a victim of

capitalism. And the shell represents

this belief. It's a symbol of this

belief. Now who who comes to destroy the

sh? Who comes to destroy this belief?

Who comes to make him understand that

family is important, love is important,

relationships are important, religion is

important. Who comes to do

this? The

ghosts, the

spirits, Molly, they crack the shell.

They crack the shell. They crack the

shell until right at the end, as

everyone loves to say, the beautiful

pearl that is Scrooge emerges. His

softer side, his nicer side comes out.

Guys, I've just given you a grade nine

analysis within like 2 minutes. Please

analyze that quote like that. Don't be

saying solitary as an oyster shows us

that Scrooge is really, really lonely

and that he has a nice side, but he is

stuck inside the oyster. This shows that

we feel really, really sorry for him.

And hopefully one day he'll

change. We're not about that, guys.

We're not about that. Solitary. He is

forced to be lonely. Why is he forced?

Because of the oyster. The oyster is a

symbol of capitalism. Capitalism is an

ideology. It's a belief that money is

the most important thing. So the spirits

and Marley come and they crack the

oyster to reveal his softer side. But

you want to say that this represents

society. Why? Because if a sad old man

like Scrooge can change, then we all

have

hope. If Scrooge can change, anyone can
