What is a good way to remember information for GCSE English Literature?

Remembering all the correct information for English Literature is tough, especially when you have so many other GCSE subjects to remember things for too. So, a good method which always works for me is using acronyms. There are so many good acronyms for English Literature, and it is much easier to remember one of these than to remember a long list. Here are some of my favourites... 

PETER 
point 
evidence 
technique 
explanation 
readers response

PENTBEC  
pace 
ending 
narrative voice 
tone 
beginning 
epiphany 
climax 

I Make Fantastic Lasagne 
imagery 
mood 
form 
language
