Have you read my spoiler by the way? I'll put up Dulce right now
Dulce et Decorum est - Wilfred Owen- "Bent double"
-tired
-opposite to posters shown of strong men back then- "Knock-kneed"
-exhausted- "Like Old beggars under sacks"
-how poorly they are
-old and tired
-weak and impoverished- "Coughing like hags"
-like old women who smoke heavily
-witches
-not image we think of when we imagine soldiers- "Cursed through sludge"
-sludge makes hard to work
-extremely difficult- "Haunting flares"
- "Distant rest"
-thought of eternal rest seeming a long way off- "Men marched asleep"
-rhythm of line mimics movement of men- "Lost boots"
- "Blood shod"
-men in absolute agony- All:
-'blind' (can't see)
-'deaf'
-Loss of all main senses- Why
- gentle way gas shells drop
- cause utter devastation
- kill within seconds
- 'hoots' make sound gentle, like owls etc
-stanza shows men to be exhausted, the walking dead, barely alive and fit for nothing.
-contradicts governments view- "Gas! Gas! Quick boys"
-hesitation equals death- "Ecstasy of fumbling"
-ecstatic normally means joyful, emotionally powerful in good way
-how it applies:- perhaps soldiers thought this was something they had to move for even though they were tired
- they're now alive, minds concentrating on task of fitting they're gas mask
- "Flound'ring like a man in fire or lime"
-soldier is in hell, being burned- "As under a green sea, I saw him drowning"
- gas mask on, he appears underwater, like swimming goggles
- green gas makes outside look like sea
- man is drowning in his own blood
-can't stop thinking about him,- "in all my dreams"
- 'guttering, choking, drowning'
Third stanza lays down direct challenge to those who think they are brave.- "If ..... you too"
-dreams he has are described as 'smothering'- because of how he died: gas, smoke
- "Flung him in"
- "watch the white eyes writhing in his face"
- great emphasis
- helps flow
- "Like a Devil's sick of sin"
-image so grotesque
-intensely disgusting that even the devil feels ill
-does it show soldier is in a living hell where God can't help him?
"If you could hear"
-aural section- challenge is for you to have no feelings when you hear the blood in the 'froth-corrupted lungs'
- "Obscene as cancer"
- "Bitter as cud"
-comparison (simile), bitter- "Vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues"
-as well as man drowning in vile way, in own blood- "Dulce et"
- "Noble jest"
-not funny nor noble- "Children"
-more ambitious for instant glory- End with powerful statement;
-impact- Poem:
- Does it rhyme?
-see what words rhyme for effect- Does it have rhythm?
-in iambic pentameter0 -

Thanks for the poem notes, they are brilliant. Did you make them??
I took into consideration some teacher's notes and other notes and made them easier to understand and with more detail. I went through each line and marked in loads of techniques but I outlined most important ones, in my opinion.
Okay so I'll go ahead with the essays then with that in mind?0 -

As someone who has corrected JC History, I can tell there is no need for all that information to get full marks on a 'people in history' question.
Some of the top-scoring students write WAY too much in their answers.0 -

I learn this information for the essay and for the course in general i.e. short questions and that.
I also forget some of the information. The guideline is to write between a page and a page and a half. This is a page exactly.0 -

But going by the marking schemes, it looks like you only get marks for very specific things, i.e. no marks are awarded for things that don't have real historical significance.
Could you give an example of say what does get marks and what doesn't?
For example, say if I was writing an answer to "A Factory Worker in Industrial Britain" and I wrote about this workers living conditions at home, would I get marks for that?0 -

Yes you would, unless it specified in the question that you were to write about the worker's working conditions.
If, on the other hand, you veered off into a tale of how the factory owner made his fortune, then you wouldn't.
e.g.
My name is Tom, last year I moved from the country to the town as we were not needed to work the harvest becasue of the new machines.
(1 SRS - underlined) - This would get marks.
My name is Tom, my wife is Mary, I work in a factory. We have four kids and life is very hard.
This would not get any marks as it is.
It is too waffly.0 -

It was called the March on Rome.
Indeed!
Plus, does anyone need notes for English? - such as poems i.e. William Wordsworth or drama - I also have a good collection of sample answers in Irish.0 -
Thanks for the religion, any more?
Religious Morality- Morality: The basis on which a person makes moral choices, i.e. between right and wrong, good and bad
- Moral person: A person who knows the difference between right and wrong and chooses right
- Immoral person: Someone who knows the difference between right and wrong and does wrong
Choice=Action=Consequences -> negative and positive -> affects relationships- Influence: something that affects a person's behaviour/decisions
- Society: connection that exists between people when they share an outlook and way of life
- (Lots about influences in other post i.e. family, friends/peers, religion, state, school).
- A moral vision is based on the common good
- A religious moral vision (RMV) is based on religious beliefs
- Religious faith underlies the laws and moral code of faith community
- Having a RMV is about knowing and doing what God wants
Moral Vision of Christianity- God made us with the freedom to choose between good and bad
- At the heart of Christian morality is love: Jesus said -> 'Love one another as I have loved you'.
- Christian moral vision involves forgiveness
- RMV should be guided by sacred scripture (10 Commandments)
The 10 Commandments- The basis of the moral code that Jesus grew up with
- They gave guidance in how people should live in a right relationship with each other and with God
- You shall not steal
- You shall not kill
- You shall not take the name of the lord your God in vain
- I am the Lord your God: You shall not have strange gods before me
- etc.
Stages of Moral Growth
1.Moral Immaturity- We are very young and only do the right thing if we benefit from it
- Self-centred and selfish
- Decisions are not based on what is right or wrong
2.Moral Steps- Decisions are made to avoid punishment or out of fear of punishment
3.Moral Sheep :cool:- We need peer approval and decisions are based on wanting to be liked by others
- We become aware of the positive and negative consequences of our actions
- Most Teenagers
4.Moral Society- Influenced by society and promoting behaviour for the common good of all
- When a person upholds the values of justice, peace, respect, truth, love and forgiveness
- People at this stage have an informed moral vision which guides their decisions
- Conscience: the ability to judge the best thing to do when free to choose
Decision-Making- Morally mature people use the D.E.C.I.D.E. process;
- D-> Define the facts and info
- E-> Listen to the voice of experience
- C-> List all possible consequences
- I-> Listen to your inner self (conscience, faith, etc)
- D-> Decide the best possible outcome and go through with action
- E-> Evaluate and reflect on your decision and learn from experience!
Euthanasia as a conflict between the State and Religion- Euthanasia means good death. It refers to the practice of ending a life in a painless manner.
- Can be accomplished in an Oral, intravenous (known as IV), or intramuscular administration of drugs.
- assisted-suicide is the process by which an individual who is incapable is provided with the means to die from suicide.
- Euthanasia includes acts which are performed by people other than the patient
Arguments for:- autonomy: every person has the right to make personal and private decisions about their own lives
- Euthanasia: allows patients to die with dignity
- Utility: allows greatest good for the greatest number of people because:
- the patients suffering is removed
- family can grieve properly
- medical staff can avoid grief and stress
- very high costs of terminal care for patient are removed
- quality over quantity: human life is sacred and it should not be degraded by reducing the quality of life for extending quantity of life.
Arguments against:- Euthanasia wouldn't be only for people who are terminally ill
- it will become a means of health care cost containment
- it will become non-voluntary
- it is a rejection of the importance and value of human life
- -The Church says...
- the Christian teaching condemns euthanasia as a "crime against life". The teaching of the Christian Church on euthanasia rests on several core principles including the sanctity of human life, the dignity of the human person.
- -The State says...
- euthanasia is illegal in Ireland: this shows the Church's power over law
Social Justice- Justice: fairness and respect which leads to good relationships
-to be denied one's human rights is to be denied justice- We live in an unjust world
- Our world is divided by enormous wealth on the one hand and great poverty on the other
Why would a Christian work for justice?- Christians believe that it is their religious duty to work for social justice. They would work for social justice to live as Jesus wanted
- This means helping to eradicate poverty and the unfair distribution of global wealth
- Justice is at the heart of Jesus' message, "Love God with all your heart ... and love your neighbours as yourself."
- When faced with the moral issue of social justice, Christians should ask themselves, "if I do this will I be showing that I love God/my neighbour?"
Describe the work for justice being done by members of a world religion.- Who works for justice?
- It is a church organisation part of the Catholic Church
- Works for justice and peace in the world and it wants to make everyone aware of poverty
- It was set up in 1973
- Trocaire = Compassion
- Their Inspiring Vision: It is inspired by Scripture and Gospel values
- Its vision for the future is for:
- a just world - equality
- people's dignity to be protected
- human rights to be respected
Sin and forgiveness- sin: an offence against God. Turning away from a relationship with God and others
- judgement: a decision about someone or something, usually arrived after careful consideration
- forgiveness: the act of pardoning, excusing or making allowances for an offence
The Sacrament of Reconciliation- offers the possibility of restoring broken relationships
4 elements- Contrition - must be very sorry for sinning
- Confession - must confess their sins
- Absolution - receives forgiveness
- Satisfaction - priest gives person an act of penance
Parable of the Lost Sheep
What does this parable reveal about sin and forgiveness?
The meaning of this parable is that if one person loses their faith in God (sins), He will always watch over you and when you regain your faith (confess sins), He will welcome you back.- God = shepherd
- 99 sheep = non-sinners
- Lost sheep = sinner
- The Ecumenical Movement - purely Christian movement to promote unity between all Christian Churches.
Stewardship and morality- State Law and Morality
- Pluralism: a state of society where the views of people of all traditions are tolerated
- Religious fundamentalism: literal take on scriptures and teachings. Rejects attempts to update or modernise the way in which Community belief is expressed
That's all I've got :P0 -

- One was Thomas Reynolds, Tone's brother-in-law

Many of the leaders of the United Irishmen were arrested because of spies
Rebellion in Leinster continued despite this
However, they were defeated easily - many executed
How did the rebellion in Wexford progress?- Rebels in Wexford enjoyed initial victories at Oulart Hill and Wexford Town

- French allowed to go free, Tone imprisoned in Dublin

- Denied this, Tone cut his throat and died a week later
- Led a rebellion in Dublin in 1803, executed
Results if 1798 Rebellion- Over 50000 rebels died in fighting
- In 1800 the Act of Union abolished Irish Parliament. All laws and taxes on Ireland were made at Westminster
- Future Irish rebels would be influenced by the ideas of Wolfe Tone (1848, 1916, 1918-20)
- Other Irishmen used Parliament to try to improve the Irish situation (Daniel O'Connell, Charles Stewart Parnell)
- The 1798 rebellion ended any hope of Protestants and Catholics for Irish independence. Protestants wished to remain united with Britain (Unionists)
None of the images used are mine. :P0 -

Important Romeo and Juliet quotes?0
-
Important Romeo and Juliet quotes?
Learn about 10 quotes per character if you want to be prepared - and from dramatic scenes. For example;
"O happy dagger! this is thy sheath; there rust, and let me die." - Juliet says this when she sees Romeo dead. She is quick to act when she sees the dagger. Admired because of courage. Willing to endure the pain.
Mostly learn the quotes that seem to stick out to you. Another example:
"I'll look to like, if looking liking move" - Juliet is obedient to her mother. She does not promise to marry Paris but agrees to try to get to know him for love.0 -

Important Romeo and Juliet quotes?
My English teacher has corrected the Junior Cert English exams every year since 2004. She said there is actually no need to be able to quote from Romeo and Juliet just to be able to refer. For example "We see this when Romeo is challenged by Tybalt to a brawl on the streets of Verona" instead of a quote. She said it is much easier and no marks go for quotes anyway Also I am terrible at English I got 57% in the mocks and at that I learned off an essay that was written in a previous Junior Cert English exam. I got 60 out of 70 marks for it. Do ye think if I learned that essay off I would get away with it in the real exam in June?0
