8001/01‚02/O/N/07 ‘The most effective learning takes place away from school.’ How far do you agree? Learning‚ according to the Wikipedia‚ is the knowledge acquired through study‚ experience or being thought. Parents often think that learning only takes place in the school area for their children‚ where the information that are being thought to their child are sufficient for them to be able to get a good grades. For me‚ this is not true. Effective learning also takes place beyond the school

Certainly terror and violence can be said to have played an integral part in bringing about the Nazi’s consolidation of power‚ as violence was such an important part of Nazism and was never far from the surface.

Ellie Dixon How far would you agree with Nick’s view that Gatsby is “worth the whole damn bunch put together” I believe that when comparing the worth of the characters Nick assessed their ability to be moral‚ loving and selfless. Despite Gatsby’s involvement in ‘bootlegging’ and his life being built around lies‚ Gatsby possesses a worth that the other characters lack; a dedication to another human that is selfless‚ loving and hopeful‚ his determination to peruse his dreams also adds to his worth

"Pertelote is much more than a mere hen" how far do you agree with this? I feel that this comment is extremely justified. Chaucer with the use of a beast fable has helped to elevate what would be considered a conventionally boring set of animals‚ and turn them into portrayals of human beings. As a cock he may have came from the same batch of eggs as his hens‚ but as poultry it would not matter whether chauntecleer mates with his sisters. However some critics suggest the introduction of the human

Tropical Storm depends on location” How far do you agree? Tropical storms formed 5-30 degrees north of the equator‚ so if there is a largely populated area or economic centre around this latitude‚ in an area vulnerable to hurricanes‚ the impact will be increased in comparison to the tropical storm running its course over unpopulated islands or the ocean. This can be seen when looking at Hurricane Sandy‚ a tropical storm of 2012 and its impact on Cuba. Cuba was located in the Hurricane’s path and

How far do you agree that Lady Macbeth is presented like a Fiend-like Queen Throughout Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’ it can be argued that Lady Macbeth‚ who ruthlessly questions Macbeth’s masculinity catalysing his unnatural acts of violence and brutality‚ is presented as a fiend like queen.

Ireland.’How far do you agree? Tudor governments during the Tudor period dealt with rebellions in different ways‚ whether most governments underestimated the threat posed by them will be dependent on how well and effectively they reacted and responded to theses rebellions. Most Tudor Monarchs were either not prepared or faced the consequences of their most serious errors‚ however factors that will have to be taken in consideration are how governments consulted with their advisers‚ how governments
