    My paper 1 contained a personal essay stating, "sloppy people,you see, are not really sloppy"

    Text 1 was about stereotyping

    text 2 was about sloppy people and neat people.

    Anyone got that paper?

    Edit : This is honours english btw :D

    Lucky for you I did that paper 2 today,

    Macbeth:
    1.Lady Macbeth sympathy for her as a character
    2. Theme of deception

    General Vision of Viewpoint and Cultural Context. Both pretty general questions

    Poetry: Plath, Kavanagh, Montague and Eliot. Plath was impact on you as a reader. Something like that. The unseen I think was called "design" , I think by a poet called Eamonn Gregan, Not to sure on that unseen:p It was about some robin being killed by a sparrowhawk and the poet taking
    some higher meaning from it,

    Edit:

    It was called actually "Detail" by Eamonn Grennan

    Detail

    I was watching a robin fly after a finch--the smaller bird
    chirping with excitement, the bigger, its breast blazing, silent
    in light-winged earnest chase--when, out of nowhere
    over the chimneys and the shivering front gardens,
    flashes a sparrow hawk headlong, a light brown burn
    scorching the air from which it simply plucks
    like a ripe fruit the stopped robin, whose two or three
    cheeps of terminal surprise twinkle in the silence
    closing over the empty street when the birds have gone
    about their own business, and I began to understand
    how a poem can happen: you have your eye on a small
    elusive detail, pursuing its music, when a terrible truth
    strikes and your heart cries out, being carried off.

    Even though it is a form of cheating, he made a conscious decision, Its up to him. He wants to know whats coming up, I know whats coming up.

    What do you mean by (a)1 (b)2, is it the split question? I assume so, just checking! ;)

    Ah, the pettiness of it all. (Oh and actually AFAIK 'honor' is the correct spelling of the word in America, but I guess we're not in America are we :rolleyes:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,889 ✭✭✭tolosenc


    Yeah. For part (a) talk about one text, for (b) talk about two.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,656 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    I had the same apaper as the OP. My essay was a load of *****! It was going well till then aswell. As for Paper 2, did well, then skipped the Poet part. Did the unseen poem, was very easy. I really should have learnt one poet, especially as we were told Plath was coming up. Can you do an essay on how depressing her poetry is and how little impact it had on me?
