class="militia"> <h3>Paper 2 - Specimen Question Response #1</h3> <p><em>How do <strong>two of the works</strong> you have studied portray the struggle to be understood?</em></p> <button class="btn btn-xs bg-turquoise showhider"><i class="fa fa-fw fa-plus"></i></button><section class="hiddenbox hidden"> <p dir="ltr">Communication and collaboration are two essential qualities of human nature, but different perspectives and cultural differences continue to lead to challenges of communication and the struggles to be understood in life. This is reflected in literature, too, and can be seen in Alan Moore and David Lloyd&rsquo;s graphic novel V for Vendetta and Emile Zola&rsquo;s Therese Raquin. Through the use of the symbol of the roses in V for Vendetta, the didactic features of the naturalism movement in Therese Raquin, and the plights of the protagonists and other key characters in both novels, both works suggest that, unless struggles to be understood are overcome, the future for humanity could be quite bleak.</p> &nbsp; <p dir="ltr">Lloyd and Moore employ symbolic roses to represent life and hope amidst apocalyptic despair. The rose is first introduced to the reader in Book 1 as V enters the Priest&rsquo;s house with a white rose already plucked. The rose is initially given to the people V murders out of revenge, a reminder of the people like him harmed in the concentration camps for being minorities. In Larkhill Camp, V grows roses, and uses their fertilizer ultimately to destroy and escape the camp. By the end of the novel, as V&rsquo;s social experiment moving through Anarchy to Anarchism, of reinventing society in the interests of all, comes to fruition, the rose symbolises new life, something beautiful and natural blooming out of the rubble of despair and destruction. He leaves Evey Hammond with a stark warning, though, when he says that &lsquo;we, as gardeners, must beware&hellip; For some seeds are the seeds of ruin, and the most iridescent blooms are often the most dangerous&rsquo;. Essentially, he says that new seeds represent new life, that a new day will always dawn and change is possible, but warns her of the usual human mistakes: of trusting the most beautiful, most sweet-talking leaders (&lsquo;iridescent blooms&rsquo;) rather than taking a more collective responsibility, will lead to the familiar outcomes. Thus the rose both symbolises V&rsquo;s own struggle to be understood, leading to his incarceration for being an outsider and his revenge for that incarceration, as well as the easy manner in which humans allow themselves to misunderstand others through their attractive presentation rather than their true intentions.</p> &nbsp; <p dir="ltr">By contrast, Zola pioneers a literary movement in order to adapt the very purpose of literature in order to explore the reasons why people behave as they do, being successful or struggling with interacting and understanding each other accordingly. In his Preface to the Second Edition, Zola says that &lsquo;he had believed, naively, that this novel might do without a preface,&rsquo; but that &lsquo;the critics ha[d] given this book a hostile and indignant reception&rsquo; because they didn&rsquo;t understand that in the novel Therese Raquin, he &lsquo;set out to study, not characters, but temperaments&rsquo;. Zola himself argues that, in pioneering the movement of Naturalism, his characters are &lsquo;human animals&rsquo; and he is employing certain settings, situations and temperaments that then display how humans behave with each other. Zola states directly that &lsquo;my objective first and foremost was a scientific one&rsquo;, and thus it is argued that he is using literature to predict human behaviour. A character with a nervous temperament like Therese, coupled with the lazy peasant, Laurent, captured in the dingy setting of Passage du Pont Neuf, and in a passionate, forbidden affair - evidenced by their first act of lovemaking being &lsquo;silent but brutal&rsquo; - will inevitably lead, according to Zola, to a downward spiral and the possible sequence of events that follows. Therese and Laurent become &lsquo;murderers&rsquo; and ultimately kill themselves. However, overriding this is Zola&rsquo;s key purpose of using his novel as a form of social science, to explore human beings and how they are bound to misunderstand each other and lead complicated lives as a result.&nbsp;</p> &nbsp; <p dir="ltr">Both authors use key characters&rsquo; struggles to be understood at climactic moments of the novels as integral to the advancement of the plot and to the ultimate resolution of their plights. After discovering the truth about her son&rsquo;s death, Madame Raquin - by now a paralysed invalid - had been &lsquo;fervently looking forward&rsquo; to the set-piece Thursday night gathering so she could attempt to unmask the murderers. Despite Laurent&rsquo;s confidence that &lsquo;she&rsquo;s hardly going to start blabbing to them&rsquo;, Madame Raquin indeed gained the attention of the group and began spelling out the names of Therese and Laurent, making &lsquo;the murderers&hellip; crazed with terror&rsquo;. However, at the moment of highest tension, she failed to make herself understood, as &lsquo;the avenging hand&hellip; fell back into a spasm&rsquo; and the moment was lost. By contrast, in V for Vendetta it is Evey Hammond who goes on a journey of discovery and understanding as V tricks her into thinking she is incarcerated and &lsquo;tortures&rsquo; her. When she discovers the truth, Evey is broken by learning it was V all along, while he claims to be &lsquo;set[ting her] free&rsquo; from the &lsquo;prison&rsquo; she&rsquo;s been in &lsquo;all her life&rsquo;. This metaphor suggests she is blind to the truth of the world and he has had to educate her through tough means. However, his ambiguity in manner leads her to say, &lsquo;you think you&rsquo;re so good that you don&rsquo;t have to make sense,&rsquo; and, &lsquo;nothing you say means anything&rsquo;. He is, then, intentionally creating a struggle for her to understand him, in order for her to learn about herself and the world, something she sees and does at the end of the novel.</p> &nbsp; <p dir="ltr">Martin Luther King Jr. said, &lsquo;Every step towards the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering and struggle&rsquo;. In order for societies to be most effective, human beings have had to strive to overcome their struggles to understand each other in order to learn the truth about themselves, about the world, and in order to live and work together more effectively. V for Vendetta is an explicitly politically-motivated novel which expresses this through the opaque behaviour and characteristics of its title character, while Therese Raquin is a literary study of temperaments and how certain conditions lead to certain outcomes, and how certain characters struggle to understand each other, to live together, and to share hidden truths more widely.&nbsp;</p> </section> <h3>Examiner&#39;s marks</h3> <button class="btn btn-xs bg-turquoise showhider"><i class="fa fa-fw fa-plus"></i></button><section class="hiddenbox hidden"> <p>A: 9</p> <p>B: 9</p> <p>C: 5</p> <p>D: 5</p> </section> <h3>&nbsp;</h3> <h3>Narrated discussion of student response</h3> <p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="480" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/PTr0CraWFJI?rel=0" width="640"></iframe></p> </div> <div class="brown"> <h3>More Student Samples</h3> <p><em>How do <strong>two of the works</strong> you have studied portray the struggle to be understood?</em></p> <button class="btn btn-xs bg-turquoise showhider"><i class="fa fa-fw fa-plus"></i></button><section class="hiddenbox hidden"> <p><meta charset="utf-8"></p> <p dir="ltr"><b id="docs-internal-guid-ed38c063-7fff-481e-577d-82bee5632e85">Individuals may struggle while trying to be understood, pursuing freedom as a response. It is essential for humans to find a way in which not only can they understand each other, but feel understood, otherwise as a consequence of this there could be various differences and unwillingness of groups to work with one another. This component is essential to the existence and survival of human beings. Authors David Lloyd, Alan Moor, and Emilie Zola, created pieces which help explore the concept of not being understood, and the consequences rising from this. It can be said that through the use of the mask as symbolism, in V for Vendetta, Therese&rsquo;s characterisation in Therese Raquin, and literary genre in both with Dystopia and Naturalism, authors Alan Moor, David Lloyd, and Emilie Zola portray how the struggle to be understood leads to the inability to compromise and perusal of freedom.</b></p> &nbsp; <p dir="ltr"><b id="docs-internal-guid-ed38c063-7fff-481e-577d-82bee5632e85">Emile Zola portrays the struggle to be understood through characterisation in Therese Raquin. Therese was a character which was misunderstood by her familiars, she would remain silent during most occasions, without her opinion taken into account. Yet, when Laurent appeared in her life he triggered the uncovering of a new, not seen side of Therese to the reader in which one could see her resentment towards her husband and her aunt. After years Therese at last reveals to the reader how, &ldquo; I would have preferred abandonment to their hospitality, I had a desperate need for wide-open spaces; as a little girl, I dreamt of roaring barefoot along dusty roads&rdquo;.&nbsp; The extract above demonstrates Therese&rsquo;s desperation towards this family, although they had saved her from facing poverty, she would have still chosen to be abandoned. Therese is constantly pushed around without being able to be given a chance for her opinion, as a result she holds resentment and bitterness towards her familiars throughout her entire life. Once she sees an escape out of this life it is clear that she would take any means necessary to finally be liberated and free. This shows the desperation Therese had as she clearly wanted to be understood, and once she felt like she was, she would even kill to change her life and head it towards what she wanted it to look like. All in all, Thereses specific characteristics being presented to this situation made her want to take an extreme measure that would make her feel understood at once, showing the complexity of beings and how far some could go for comfortability and happiness.</b></p> &nbsp; <p dir="ltr"><b id="docs-internal-guid-ed38c063-7fff-481e-577d-82bee5632e85">Alan Moor and David Lloyd use symbolism to portray the struggle to be understood. V for Vendetta is a novel which shows a society where there were no minorities or people of color, and the population was oppressed by their government. V is a character which due his difference, and inability to fit the perfect society with &lsquo;ideal people&rsquo; the right wing government wanted to achieve is cast away to a concentration camp to be tested on. The incapability of the government to understand others which are not what they deem as superior, and different, is what greatly inspires V to pursue freedom through anarchy. V utilizes a mask to represent that what he is pursuing is greater than just himself, &ldquo;Behind this mask there is more than just flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea... and ideas are bulletproof.&rdquo;. The symbol of the mask is essential throughout the entirety of the comic, as it shows that there is an idea which rose due to several factors. V, a survivor from this persecution, pursued freedom, not only individually, but for all, he wanted to dismantle the government and let the population be free after so many years of being oppressed, without understanding each other. The government essentially separated and held the population back, as the only one being able to stand up for themselves was V, which later spread his ideology.&nbsp;</b></p> &nbsp; <p dir="ltr"><b id="docs-internal-guid-ed38c063-7fff-481e-577d-82bee5632e85">Alan Moor, David Lloyd and Emile Zola use literary genre to depict the struggle to be understood. In these two novels there is use of&nbsp; various features which help aid the creation of characters which are struggling in their environment, and how they deal with this. Irrespective of their environment, there is the same outcome of the two, individuals who want freedom after suppressing their feelings. Emile Zola used genre as he showed that the human nature of these characters in this specific situation was inescapable, and eventually would occur one way or the other In &quot;Therese Eaquin,&quot; I have sought to study temperaments and not characters. In that lies the entire book. I have selected personages sovereignly dominated by their nerves and their blood, destitute of free will, led at each act of their life by the fatalities of their flesh.&rdquo;. Alan Moor, and David Lloyd use dystopia in the novel where the world is controlled by a far right government with extremist ideas, essentially suppressing everyone&#39;s feelings to not be understood. One of the government&#39;s recurring phrases was &ldquo;Strength through unity and faith&rdquo;, ironically, as without individuals being understood there is no unity.</b></p> &nbsp; <p dir="ltr"><b id="docs-internal-guid-ed38c063-7fff-481e-577d-82bee5632e85">Humans are complex beings which mainly desire to be understood by others. At times some individuals may struggle as everyone is different, therefore leading to differences with one another. If people cannot manage to get past their differences and understand each other, there is no collaboration or work from either party. V for Vendetta and Therese Raquin depict this idea of the struggle to be understood and what it does to a person which oppresses their feelings in such a way. With V for Vendetta using symbols, Emile zola using characterisation, and both using literary genre they make it clear and highlight the consequences of not being understood on individuals. </b></p> </section> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Examiner&#39;s Comments&nbsp;</h3> <button class="btn btn-xs bg-turquoise showhider"><i class="fa fa-fw fa-plus"></i></button><section class="hiddenbox hidden"> <p>This essay has enormous strengths. It makes clear, analytical points that address the question with relevance, and some of the analysis and evaluation - the presentation and deconstruction of evidence - is very effective. The third paragraph is a little too general even though it is effective in ensuring the comparative nature of the essay. And there are language slips, including discussing works and authors in the past rather than conventional present tense.
