So we’re clear – these are the questions you have been working from:
Choose a novel or short story in which a conflict between two of the main characters is central to the story.
Explain how the conflict arises and go on to discuss in detail how the writer uses it to explore an important theme.
and
Choose a novel in which a key incident involves rejection or disappointment or loss.
Describe briefly the key incident and assess its significance to the text as a whole.
