Level 4 example response Paper 1: Tues 6th June Level 4 example response Paper 2: Mon 12th June Aberfan is a small village that ‘few people have heard of’. It is ‘tucked away’ in a Welsh valley. This suggests that it is almost hidden from view and would have been similarly forgotten in history had it not been for the tragedy. In contrast, London is described as a ‘colossal city’. It implies it is huge and filled with activity. A place that is so large that it should be safe from a natural disaster like an earthquake. Whilst both also have rivers running through them, in Aberfan it is ‘black as the Styx’ which differs from London with its ‘great river’. It is implied that in Aberfan its blackness comes from the natural seeping coal, but with London, it is ‘muddy and dull’ because of man-made waste from the many warehouses along its length.
