No Sugar Essay : Challenging our Values - 4 views

  • This essay is thought to be the truest “borderline” A/B essay in the booklet
  • As a timed essay it displays good control of paragraphing and quite sound sentence structure along with a fine grasp of the text and the concepts of the syllabus.
  • In each paragraph, the writer of this essay draws attention to particular aspects of the text, particularly characterisation, to show the means by which a text can influence our view of life, and the concluding sentences attempt to relate these techniques to specific ideas which the text encourages.
