Grade 9 Lord of the Flies response on Roger
A Grade 9 909 word response answering a question that I have made up myself in the same style as AQA.
How does Golding use the character of Roger to explore ideas about evil? Write about:
• what Roger says and does
• how Golding uses Roger to explore ideas about evil.
The response would achieve Band 6 in the mark scheme because it has a conceptualised approach with a careful selection of judicious references from across the novel. There is fine-grained and insightful analysis of language
supported by judicious use of subject terminology as well as convincing exploration of contextual factors and different interpretations.
