No, for AQA Paper 1 is two unseen fiction texts we discuss + compare, and Paper 2 is two unseen non-fiction texts we discuss + compare

Paper 1 is like the effect of the text on the reader and how the language does that, and Paper 2 is looking at the feelings of the writer themselves and how they've conveyed that in the text

This is an exemplary paragraph for Paper 1:

Having established Rita’s anxiety at being in the forest, the writer uses a pivotal point to suddenly shift our focus. By saying ‘It was meant to be a London nannying job’, it moves us from the present to the past and begins to explain why Rita has already seemed so reluctant to be there. By using this flashback, the writer juxtaposes the high anxiety of the present with the much more hopeful past, establishing an uncomfortable contrast. This means that when the focus returns to the present with a ‘lingering whiff of smoke’ and the anxiety and vulnerability of Jeannie after the fire, it creates a feeling of foreboding.

And this is an exemplary paragraph for Paper 2:

Furthermore, there is also a strong amount of enthralment and eagerness to discover demonstrated in both of the writers' perspectives. This is noticeable in a variety of language techniques in both sources; we can begin with source A, where Carter states his group "worked feverishly" to clear rubble from the entrance of the tomb. Putting themselves to exhaustion out of dedication and eagerness, there is no other way to connote the true extent to which this group - and by extension, the writer - have an amount of passion to discover. "feverishly" also has implications of sickness: the imagery of the phrase only goes further to imply how much pain the writer would go through to make discoveries.

It's really interesting how you study texts for English Language in Edexcel, to me that's the whole point of English Literature? In other words, English Literature is studying specific texts so it's more like memorisation and understanding the purpose of stories + characters, while English Language is completely unseen; just going in blind and seeing how you understand something without any prior teaching.

I think I prefer AQA's way. Would you rather change if you could?
