Isabelle's shop
Hi! I'm Isabelle, I sat my A Level exams in 2022 and achieved A*A*A*, with an A* in EPQ. I now study Biological Sciences at Durham University. I studied:
- OCR English Literature
- Edexcel A (Salters-Nuffield) Biology
- OCR B (Salters-Nuffield) Chemistry
I've found there isn't a lot online about these courses so I hope uploading my notes will help!

(A*) The usage of time within Ian McEwan's 'Atonement' and W.H. Auden's poetry (English Literature OCR)
In this essay I explore the ways in which Auden and McEwan explore time in their portrayals of mid-20th century Britain. I explore several ideas, such as the idea that time brings knowledge and morality, by drawing links between The Trials of Arabella, 'As I Walked Out One Evening', and alluding to the 'Garden of Eden'. I also look at the idea of 'memento mori' and how both writers exemplify this, and finally, I present the timeless nature of love that both writers utilise.

(A*) The History Boys: the role of Hector (English Literature OCR)
In this essay I look at an extract from The History Boys by Alan Bennett, discussing Hector's comedic and tragic role within the extract, and how this reflects on the themes of the play. I also explore the relationship between Hector and Posner, and touch on what Hector's true 'character' is. This was part of the coursework component for OCR English Literature, Literature post-1900, and is a close reading analysis of the extract. I received an A* and full marks for this essay.
