This response demonstrated a comprehensive, critical and clear grasp of the ways in which forgiveness is represented as both an empowering and inhibiting force in Invictus and Ransom. The use of integrated quotes and character comparisons substantiated this discussion and presented a considered analysis of the similarities and differences between the texts. This response could benefit from comparing and contrasting a wider range of textual structures and features (narrative structure, style, setting and symbolism for example) while explaining some points further to refine its analysis (an example that springs to mind is in Body Paragraph 3, where it is stated, “Upon his return to Troy, Priam is a man remade” –consider asking, ‘how?’ and ‘in what ways?’ to further develop points like these). Creating a word bank of analytical verbs other than “shows” could also be of benefit.
