Single Text & Comparative Texts

bunty_singh

What single text and comparative texts are you doing?

Just curious.

We're doing Pride & Prejudice as single text.

As You like it, Witness and Silas Marner as our comparative texts.

This has probably been posted elsewhere, but anyway..

Single Text: King Lear

Comparative Texts: Witness, Silas Marner, Juno and the Paycock.


Fairly confident for the single text, I love Lear, and while I like comparative, I'll most likely mess it up. Poetry should save me though, especially if Hopkins comes up!

It never came up on the LC before, so I'm assuming the question they ask will be fairly easy to write about.

hope.

Rockerette

I am willing to be 10000euro that cultural context and theme and issue will be on the paper. Literary Genre was up two years in a row!

Anyway
Single Text: King Lear(tripe)

Comparative:
How many miles to Babylon (TRIPE)
O mice and men (ok)
Juno and the Paycock( Kinda tripe)

willowmegs

Single Text: King Lear

Comparative: Death & Nightingales, A Room With A View, Of Mice And Men

Attractive Nun

Single Text: King Lear (great play)

Comparative: How Many Miles to Babylon? (poor), Of Mice & Men (fairly good), Dances With Wolves (meh)


These two confuse me a little. In the mocks, I hadn't even looked at Lear, wrote an average essay, and got 50/60. For the comparative, I thought I did a great essay on Cultural Context, and only got like 45/70. It was only the mocks I know, but knocks the confidence a bit.
