guys im posting this here aswell cause idk if anyones online on the ee1 chat:

is this kinda how a s1 analytical 15 marker would look? its just one para cause i wasnt bothered to type up the other ones (using the abbotsleigh 2022 trial paper from thsc)

How does Yan Ge invite readers to explore new horizons and arrive at new conclusions by inviting them into a world different from their own?

quick note - i realised i did the whole thing thinking it wasnt "Arrive at new concl but provide insights cause i was doing two papers at once lmao sorry

[intro]

Through the development of his imaginary world of Yong'an City as a mimetic metonym for our societies/world?, Yan Ge's postcolonial parable invites readers to reconsider their values surrounding social class through the development of the "mythical beasts." Within the opening, Ge initially invites the reader to question the nature of his imagined society through his explanation and definition of the word "beast," stating " [its meaning] shifted to the object of the hunt...prey" and its connotations as the "absence of humanity...savagery and wildness." Through this visceral animalistic imagery Ge immediately establishes a societal separation, highlighting the development of an "other" within his imagined collective world. This is reinforced through his introduction of the "sorrowful beasts" and "flourishing beasts," illuminating the dehumanisation of minority classes within Ge's world through their anthropomorphic label, thus providing insights into our world by acting as a reflection of societies degradation of people groups due to their physical differences. Moreover, through his description of the sorrowful beasts seclusion, "dormitories for the cotton mills...where many of the sorrowful beasts have worked for years since...they settled here," the narrator illuminates the cycle of poverty and exploitation within minority groups due to their lack of education and separation from wider society. Thus, Ge forces us to recognise Yong'an as a mirror of our own historical and contemporary realities, highlighting the collective subjugation and unethical exploitation of migrant workers, ensuring a societal re-evaluation of reader values regarding our contextual understanding of equality. Furthermore, through the narrators description of the beasts through ingrained stereotypes, " they love mung beans...prefer the cold and dark...they fear trains," Ge highlights the unconscious prejudice held by societal majorities, with the collectives stereotypical assumptions allowing for the continued suppression of the beasts within Ge's world as they rationalisation the seclusion of the sorrowful beasts from modern society, "they hate...satellite tv" as cultural norms. [link to our world...providing insight.... + concluding sentence].

2nd paragraph = their physical description = suppression as physical characteristics (their silence + anthropomorphism, "just like humans," and the continued chopping down of flourishing wood = commodification of culture + intergen destruction of culture)
