Saving time: LITERATURE Component 2: Time-saving IDEAS: Use a TEMPLATE (see hand-out) Point 1: LATIN quote: ENGLISH translation of the Latin quote: ………………………………………………………………………………….. ……………………………………………………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………….. …………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………….. ……………………………………………………………………………… This quote gives evidence in answer to the question in that ………………………………………………………………………….. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… This is a style / content point (delete as appropriate!) Saving time: LITERATURE Component 2: Time-saving IDEAS: a TEMPLATE filled in sample: Point 1: LATIN quote: ENGLISH translation of the Latin quote: Totam … Romam circus capit ‘The circus holds the whole of Rome’. This quote gives evidence in answer to the question in that Juvenal exaggerates by saying that the circus holds the whole of Rome, not just part of the population. We know this to be impossible because, although the capacity of the Circus Maximus was very large (250 000 spectators), this would not have allowed for everyone to be present. Also, there would have been people who were not interested in or were prevented from attending. This is a style / content point (delete as appropriate!) Point 2: LATIN quote: ENGLISH translation of the Latin quote: Totam … Romam circus capit ‘The circus holds the whole of Rome’. This quote gives evidence in answer to the question in that Juvenal places the word ‘ totam ’ in a clearly emphatic position at the very beginning of the line. This draws our attention to the main point he is trying to make in this line – how popular the races were, in this case so popular that everyone was present (which in itself is an exaggeration). This is a style / content point (delete as appropriate!) 10
