This is marshmallow!!

He's 12 weeks old and my mum thinks he could be blind, but we cant tell.

I found out that he blinks with one eye most of the time- he has red eyes but im pretty sure they are different shades (if that means anything) and he usually looks quite sleepy.

When you hold him, hes usually very still but also he hardly pees or poos unless youve been holding him a long time and he also rarely wheeks.

Also i think he might have popcorned into the sides of the cage before (?)

Hes absolutely adorable but im interested to know if he is blind, or if i just have an extremely introverted guinea pig, which ive never had before (i have 3 other boys and 4 girls)

I can try answer any questions but if anyone has anyways to tell it would be much appreciated!!

Hii, I've nearly finished my first year of A level eduqas English literature. For my end of year mocks I did a Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes competitive essay, and our drama exam: 'A Streetcar Named Desire' and 'The Duchess of Malfi'.

I got my plath hughes essay back first and got 46/60 which is roughly an A, which is on parr with how I've been doing on average.

For my drama essay....a D. My teacher tried to be nice and say its a D+, but obviously marks dont come with levels. I got 27/60 for this essay, and I was really upset and disappointed.

The advice my teacher gave me go as follows: My language was not strong enough for the points I was trying to make, my sentence structure/ sentence style made my writing unclear and I was not talking about the question theme in enough detail.

However, I have never had issues with my language not being strong enough, from reading tests in secondary, I've always had 17+ and My other teachers (I do two other rigid essay based subjects) have never had issues with my style or wording. My other English teacher (who marked my other essay) also hasn't had an issue with this.

I spent the weeks leading up to the exam preparing, and created essay plans with my friends to which we compared and took advice from each other. My friend, who had pretty much the same plan as me, got an A.

I had a 1:1 with my teacher abour the grade, trying to plead my case with how I spoke about my essay. To which she shut me down, and tried to make a point that maybe I'm not reading enough (for the vocabulary difference) to which i told her I do, and she then went on a tangent about the book I told her I was reading because she did her university dissertation on it.

I also mentioned how i was scared abour how this would effect my UCAS, because i aim to go to a good university for an english subject, and she began talking to me about other universities that aren't as well known for the subject. She told me that I should just do more essays, practice paragraphs ect.

I still dont know what I've done particularly wrong in this essay to get a D especially if my quality of language analysis, context, and critics stayed consistent. This was our first comparative drama essay, and we've only student Malfi for 4 weeks.

Everyone I've spoken to tells me that I should get my other english teacher's opinion, but I don't want to escalate this situation with the teacher, and prove that i have undermined her judgement.

Is there anyone who could read my essay and give me a true honest opinion, or who could give me tips on how to progress in this situation???

Could my guinea pig be blind?

End of Year 12 Mocks, Got a mark I'm not sure I agree with
