QUESTION 4(12 to 14)he student could provide more detailed comparisons between the two sources and a deeper analysis of the writers' feelings and perspectives. Linking observations more explicitly to the question throughout the response would also improve the overall quality. In the beginning of Source A, the writer has a rather worried and tense tone. "It was still dark" and the writen began to "feel vulnerable again". This creates an ambience of utter fear and curiosity.   The colour imagery used in "dark" could foreshadow the tragic events which will occur later on in the source,whereas james feeling "vulnerable" could perhaps show the reason as why things took the wrong turn.This provides to the reader certainly that the main characters were feeling almost depressed by the long journey awaiting for them. However in the middle of the source, the wirter encounter their first problem. A "wall of white water was towering over our little boath", the metaphor of "white water", is misleading as "white" has connotations with purity and safety,but that wasn't what James and Ben were feeling in that moment.Moreover the verb "towering" could be used to present the inferiority of the presence of james and Ben in the boat as compared to the omnipotent power of the sea,painting James and Ben experience as a journey full of disasters and perils. The use of white to describe the sea,is a complete contrast to "everything was midnight black". "Black" in this case could be a warning of death,as Ben and James find themselves in the middle of the sea,where no one could help them,and they are utterly alone; therefore black could connote to possibly a tragic death.Whereas the word "everything" could be used by the writer to signalise how there was no sense of hope in them,wherever Ben and James placed their eyes upon it was just "black".

QUESTION 4(12 to 14)he student could provide more detailed comparisons between the two sources and a deeper analysis of the writers' feelings and perspectives. Linking observations more explicitly to the question throughout the response would also improve the overall quality.

In the beginning of Source A, the writer has a rather worried and tense tone. "It was still dark" and the writen began to "feel vulnerable again". This creates an ambience of utter fear and curiosity.   The colour imagery used in "dark" could foreshadow the tragic events which will occur later on in the source,whereas james feeling "vulnerable" could perhaps show the reason as why things took the wrong turn.This provides to the reader certainly that the main characters were feeling almost depressed by the long journey awaiting for them.

However in the middle of the source, the wirter encounter their first problem. A "wall of white water was towering over our little boath", the metaphor of "white water", is misleading as "white" has connotations with purity and safety,but that wasn't what James and Ben were feeling in that moment.Moreover the verb "towering" could be used to present the inferiority of the presence of james and Ben in the boat as compared to the omnipotent power of the sea,painting James and Ben experience as a journey full of disasters and perils.

Solution

ation of the ship could be used to show how even inanimate objects were feeling the burden of this journey. This could also be a reflection of the writer's own feelings, as he too is tired and struggling.

In the middle of Source B, the writer describes the sea as "a vast desert of water". This metaphor could be used to show the isolation and loneliness the writer is feeling. The sea is vast and endless, just like a desert, and the writer is alone in the middle of it. This could also be a reflection of the writer's own feelings of being lost and alone.

Towards the end of Source B, the writer describes the sea as "a cruel mistress". This personification of the sea could be used to show the writer's feelings of betrayal. The sea, which was once a source of adventure and excitement, has now turned against him and become a source of danger and fear.

In conclusion, both sources A and B use various literary techniques to convey the writers' feelings and perspectives. However, Source A seems to focus more on the physical dangers and challenges of the journey, while Source B focuses more on the emotional and psychological struggles. To improve the comparison, the student could delve deeper into the writers' feelings and perspectives, and link these observations more explicitly to the question.
