Revise: Component 1 Question 2: first impressionsAn impression is an understanding of what someone is like. A writer might present a character as confident, thoughtful, selfish or vulnerable. Your job is to identify those impressions and explain how details and language create them.
A view of a character, situation or event formed from details in a text.
Cover a range of evidence across the section rather than repeatedly supporting the same impression.
Track through the section, linking each impression to how the writer creates it. Do not write one list of impressions followed by a separate list of techniques.
Explain structural choices: how the focus shifts, why details appear in a particular order, or how a contrast develops an impression.
