Disaster of a course it is. Stair na Gaeilge is the bane of my existence. Irish short stories are so crap. Imagine An Cearrbhach Mac Cába in English, a toddler would be scolded for writing it, rightly so. And don't get me started on Lig Sinn i gCathú.

Why oh why are there so many poems? And so few marks for them? What, tell me, is the point of analysing poems that 99% of the student population could never understand without the notes in the book, meaning that a similar percentage will simply rely on learning off those notes for their answers. And, again, Stair na Gaeilge - it sounds like such a good idea, but it really really isn't. The An Triail question is the only part of that paper with any worth.

Clare sa Spéir, Holy Jesus.

Are we actually expected to understand every ****ing line in those poems for the usual 9marker where they ask you to explain on the of the lines?!?! It's nuts! :eek:

I'm thinking (and hoping) Cearrbach (I can't even spell it - thankfully it's written on the paper ) and Fiche Blian will come up. Lig Sinn... most be the most pointless thing I've ever come across. Bimse Buan I'm thinking too...

And as for Stair What a joke!

the funniest is the idea of a question on Clare sa Spéir about the film techniques... ahahahaaa...

our teacher photocopied a sheet that the Dept. sent out on "possible" questions on it.. including ones about the camera angles, shots used etc..


ahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.




im rootin for Jack in the 1st poetry bit. its such a funny poem.. tehehee.

Oiche Nollag na mBan, or Dan do Mhelissa would be cool for the other question. hhmmm

Heh, the prescribed Short Stories are crap, but we do Scothscáalta in our school(most schools don't cos the Irish is hard, but if the Irish is easy is most likely gonna be a crappy story) and some stories are quite interesting. Some are unbelievably crap, but there are a few that I like. They're much better than the likes of Cearrbhach and Fiche Bliain.

Minimise the learning, learn what's guaranteed to come up, and waffle the rest of it.

We did Scothscealta too, but you do realise you've to do both them and the one's in the book, right?
