Remind yourself of “Out, Out –”, taken from the Pearson Edexcel International GCSE English Anthology (as found in the June 2023 past paper (opens in a new tab)).
How does the writer create sympathy for the boy in “Out, Out –”?
In your answer, you should write about:
how the saw and the boy’s reaction to the accident are presented
how the other people in the poem react to the accident
the use of language and structure.
You should support your answer with close reference to the poem, including brief quotations.
