The document provides a mark scheme for evaluating responses to a question about representation of characters in an extract. It outlines four levels of performance from 1 to 4, with level 4 being the highest. For level 4, the response would explore at least one representation issue thoroughly with examples from the text and clearly expressed ideas. Level 3 requires identification of one issue with understanding of representation and use of evidence. Level 2 describes representation aspects with some understanding and evidence. Level 1 shows minimal understanding of representation without using the concept of stereotyping and offers little evidence.
