Are you struggling with how to analyze Purple Hibiscus? Do you need steps to help you with how to analyze Purple Hibiscus? Do you find that you make mistakes which harm your grade such as:
- spending too long annotating the extract?
- not identifying language and other techniques used by Adichie?
- not answering the specific question?
- not linking the extract to the wider Purple Hibiscus novel?
- running out of time?
If these are your pain points, then this video (and the next one) seek to help you improve on how you analyze Purple Hibiscus.
In this video and the next one I decided to do the same question that my Year 11 IGCSE class were doing on the novel recently as part of their revision and exam prep under timed condition: i.e. 45 minutes.
So in this video is how I approached the Purple Hibiscus question from the Summer 2023 Cambridge IGCSE exam. This includes my annotations and a commentary on the process I go through to ensure that I analyze Purple Hibiscus in relation to the specific question asked in the exam.
In the next video I will cover how I turn these annotations into a plan and essay response.
