About this title

Synopsis

This guide has also been written specifically to assist GCSE candidates who are taking the OCR and AQA exams. If that's you, then I can show you why I think having An Inspector Calls as one of your set texts is a bonus. Read my analysis and essay writing tips and get ready to truly understand what the writer is trying to say - and how to write clear, well-structured essays that merit a high grade. Studied the Gavin’s Guide way, An Inspector Calls is a lively, thought-provoking read. Interested? All you need is a few clear hours and an open, curious mind. Why a Gavin’s Guide? It is likely you have browsed online or gone to a bookshop and discovered that there are a fair few study guides on this play already. Many of them are useful reference points for summaries of the plot and the characters. Few, if any, explain or analyse in as much detail as this guide does how Priestley manages and organises our response as we read. Yet, it is understanding this – and being able to communicate that you do to your examiner – that will mean you can achieve your very best. This is a complete guide – it has more than 130 pages – and includes text from the play, extracted with permission from the estate of the late J. B. Priestley. As a private tutor I help individual students improve their grades. Now I would like to extend that support to you! With this short guide, available in both book and Kindle formats, I can help you: *Get to grips with the plot * Grasp what motivates the characters to act as they do * Improve your essay technique * Explore key Priestley themes, including social equality and how all actions have consequences. * Gain confidence for the extract question. *Give your very best under exam conditions. I am also ready to answer any further questions you may have on the text, via my personal email. This is a free service to buyers of my book.
