Gorard found that the gender gap in achievement was stable from 1975 up until 1988 when it increased rapidly. This was when GCSE and with it coursework was introduced. Mitsos and Browne support the view that GCSE’s favoured girls as they were more successful in coursework due to the fact that girls are seen to be more careful with their work, more likely to spend longer on their work and meet deadlines. However, Ellwood argues that although coursework has had some influence, exams themselves have a greater influence in the final grade. Therefore this does not create a significant gap between gender differences.
With the introduction of GCSE’s came coursework with the majority of subjects studied in schools. Girls seem to be more successful in coursework because they spend more time on their work, are more conscientious of the way their work is presented and are more organised and better at meeting deadlines.

Although Scout and Katniss share their differences, the similarities between both characters outweigh all differences. Katniss, the narrator of the novel, is a strong, resourceful sixteen year old who is far more mature than her age would suggest. Through many examples, one could recognize that both characters share their similarities along with their differences.

Miguel Salazar Prof. Austin ENG 200 March 3, 2014 The ending of relationships is all but too common. When the one who was once the one to turn to, the one source of light during dark times, the answer to every unanswerable question is reduced to nothing more than a memory of what was once a true love.

In the story Dear Jack by Melissa Checker, an unnamed woman faces a similar situation as she writes a letter to what is presumably her boyfriend, Jack, while he is gone on a family trip for a few days. Essentially, the theme of the story is that of how love fades, but is hard to let go of.
The story is very interesting because she starts off by telling what criple mean to her as a individual. It gets better she rather use the word criple instead of handicap and disable. To the narrator criple is such a strong word rather than hadicapp and disable.
