Somebody Is Telling You This

A novel puts a teller between you and the events. Why is naming that choice worth more marks than retelling what happens? Narrative voice; a novel built in parts, from Dickens's five staves to Stevenson's closing documents; context that explains a line, with the Poor Law behind Scrooge's own words; the opening description of Scrooge, verified against the text and annotated; one line followed across three staves; four moves from the extract to the whole novel. Eight terms to define, a model answer on Scrooge shut off from other people, and the misconceptions that cost marks.
