Be you tiful Section B

5. ‘SLOWLY’ -> She was tired from the vomitting [1] ‘ALMOST RESIGNEDLY’ -> but she accepted that she needed to do it again.[1] 6. Vocab + explain: The finger is used for vomiting [1] and is now an important part of the retching process [1]. 7. “exhausted” and “wearily” 8. To get rid of the taste/smell of vomit. [1] 9. (i) They are not fat. [1] (ii) “flawless” (iii) vocab + explain: The girls are obsessed with fashion [1] and they will go to all means to look good.[1] 10. She scrutinised herself daily [1] and this shows how obsessed she is with her appearance.[1] 11. To look thin. (ii) ‘skeletal’ (in line 30, “she had to look thin”, this does not show that she has ACCOMPLISHED thinness.) 12.The word ‘scarlet’ emphasizes the redness. [1] This in turn, emphasizes how embarrassed and ashamed of herself she is, to be unable to fit into the clothing her mother had picked out for her. [1] 13. oxymoron: “chirped” is a sound that birds make, and it indicates cheerfulness, but ‘cattily’ shows spitefulness. [1] It is effective because it shows that they are superficial friends/that her friends are superficial [1]. 14. Hazel has been vomiting to be thin, which means that she is not better internally, therefore it is ironic that she said she has never been better. [1]
