A grade 8 model response comparing how conflict with nature is presented in Prelude and Storm on the Island. I’d give it a mark at the top of Band 5 24/30 which I predict is around grade 8.

To reach Grade 9 it needs to be more critical and exploratory with more convincing exploration of alternative interpretations and contectual factors. I have many other Power and Conflict resources also on my shop such as the following: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/power-and-conflict-poetry-revision-grid-extended-version-11530298 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/power-and-conflict-revision-11626301
