Joseph Carey Merrick was born with severe physical deformities which made his life very
challenging
...
In
this short autobiography he explains how he came to be part of the exhibition
...
I was born in Lee Street, Leicester
...
Peace to her; she was a
good mother to me
...
Unfortunately for me, he
married his landlady
...
My stepmother, having
children of her own, and I, not being so handsome as they, together with my deformity, she
was the means of making my life a perfect misery
...
But I suppose my father had some spark of
parental feeling left, so he induced me to return home again
...
When I went home for my meals, my
stepmother used to say I had not been to seek for work
...
What few half‑meals I did have, I was taunted with the remark
— “That’s more than you have earned
...
Merrick, Hairdresser, Church Gate, Leicester
...
In consequence of my
ill luck, my life was again made a misery to me, so that I again ran away, and went hawking on 20 my
own account, but my deformity had grown to such an extent that I could not move about the town
without having a crowd of people gather around me
...
Knowing Mr
...
He came to see me, and
soon arranged matters, recommending me to Mr
...
He helped me make my first appearance before the
public, who have treated me well

Contradictory Responses
When a candidate provides contradictory responses, then no mark should be awarded, even if one of the answers is correct
...
The
response space should be marked from left to right on each line and then line by line until the required number of responses have been considered
...
Examiners will have to apply judgement as to whether a ‘second response’ on a line is a
development of the ‘first response’, rather than a separate, discrete response

The Mark Scheme is an integral part of the process that begins with the setting of the
question paper and ends with the awarding of grades
...
This Mark Scheme is a working document; it is not exhaustive; it does not provide ‘correct’ answers
...
The Examiners’ Standardisation Meeting will ensure that the Mark Scheme covers the range of candidates’ responses to the questions,
and that all Examiners understand and apply the Mark Scheme in the same way
...
Co-ordination scripts will be issued at the meeting to exemplify aspects of
candidates’ responses and achievements; the co-ordination scripts then become part of this Mark Scheme
...
You will
encounter answers which fall outside the ‘target range’ of Level of Response Bands for the paper which you are marking

J351/01
Mark Scheme
June 2024
Please read carefully all the scripts in your allocation and make every effort to look positively for achievement throughout the ability range
...
INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR EXAMINERS
1
The practice scripts provide you with examples of the standard of each band
...
2
The specific task-related notes on each question will help you to understand how the band descriptors may be applied
...
They are some thoughts on what was in the setter’s mind when the question was
formulated
...
Rigid demands for ‘what must be a good answer’ would lead to a distorted assessment
...
Beware of prepared answers that do not show the candidate’s thought
and which have not been adapted to the thrust of the question
...
4
Candidates’ answers should demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the texts
...
Re-telling sections of the text without commentary is of little or no value
...
2
Using ‘best-fit’, decide first which set of Level of Response Band Descriptors best describes the overall quality of the answer
...
•
Highest mark: If clear evidence of all the qualities in the band descriptors is shown, the HIGHEST Mark should be awarded
...
e
...
•
Middle mark: This mark should be used for candidates who are secure in the band
...
3
Be prepared to use the full range of marks
...
g
...
If an answer gives clear evidence of the qualities described in the band descriptors, reward appropriately
...

The maximum mark for the paper is 80

Guidance
Give one phrase that shows that Joseph Carey Merrick was
like other children when he was younger
...
Award one mark for the following phrase:
• I went to school … (until I was about 11 or 12 years of
age)

SKILLS:
AO1i: Identify and interpret explicit and implicit information
and ideas

Accept direct quotation of the relevant phrase only

Level 4 (7–8 marks)
• A developed explanation which shows a secure understanding of how the writer has used language and structure
to achieve effects and influence the reader
...
Relevant terminology should be used to develop ideas
...
Candidates refer to language and structure but may not give a full
explanation of the effects of both
...
Level 2 (3–4 marks)
• A straightforward commentary which shows some understanding of how the writer has used language and
structure to achieve effects and influence the reader

Some use of subject terminology, though it may
not always be relevant

Little or no use of subject terminology

Question 3 Guidance
Give credit for answers that link aspects of language and structure with how Christy Brown describes the moment he began to write, supported by close and
relevant reference to the text
...
Candidates must refer to the use of language and structure in their response
...
Candidates may refer to some of the following points:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

•
looking steadily - adverb suggests calm confidence
I couldn’t – simple sentence – contrast with mother’s confidence
frozen, immobile, eager – tricolon
the water-tap dripping in the pantry, the clock ticking on the mantelpiece – appeal to the senses – present progressive suggests vivid recall
a wild, jerking stab with the chalk – adjectives suggest lack of control – metaphor suggests desperation
my mother whispered – verb – gentle encouragement
I did – simple sentence – suggests determination
So tightly clenched – adverb and verb suggest difficulty
my fingernails bit into my flesh – metaphor to show determinaton
And I drew it – connective and starts sentence to create pause before climax
Shaky, with awkward, wobbly sides and a very uneven centre line – adjectives emphasise how primitive his first attempt was
But it was the letter ‘A’ – starting sentence with connective emphasizes triumph
something more lasting than spoken words – written words – dash emphasizes the contrast
the tense, taut thing that panted for expression behind a twisted mouth – neatly summarises Christy’s challenge

Candidates may compare these points in response to AO3:

The fathers in both texts, however, do seem
supportive but the father in Text 1 is more supportive as he tries to find work
for Merrick whereas the father in Text 2 simply watches expectantly to see if
Brown can succeed in writing
...
Although his aim
is more limited than Merrick’s, Brown does succeed in writing something
that resembles a letter A

He overcomes that
challenge by working for himself as a door-to-door salesman but finds that
no one will come to the door because of his ‘deformity’
