I know it's a bit late now, but could someone please tell me how many themes you are allowed use for the 3 texts. Is it only the one and can it be more? I know with Culture and Context my teacher did out an essay for us on five or six different things, but I am not too sure with Theme or Issue. Cheers.

Btw, is anyones doing th efollowing for the CS - Truman Show, Death and Nightingales, Plough and the stars? If so, do you recken the themes of 'Deception and Betrayal', and 'Illusion' would cover them enough? Thanks.

Well the fact that it's theme, and not themes implies that it is just one. All our class preperation has been centred around one theme. You're supposed to mention the theme you're using in your intro too. So I've very confident that it's just one, but not 100&

everyone banking on donne,larkin,rich and mahon but are they really gonna put up the same as the mocks???

MaltEagle

The mocks are not printed by the SEC so anything is possible. Plus the L.c. are as far as I know printed before the actual mocks. And, maybe them coming up on the mocks, could be a hint?!

jessie11

boland was in my mock...

But the Examination Commission didn't set the mocks, did they? And there were plenty of different mocks... weren't there? And whoever wrote the mocks probably wrote them on what they thought was most likely... so maybe they'll be right?

Soby

ah well..come on larkin and boland

MaltEagle

Lol

Soby

accutaly just come on larkin..odds are its gonna be larkin mahon donne and rich/boland..unless someone like frost/monty...god only 1 poet properly studied...i am foooked

Fitzo

Hoping Boland comes up as it's probably my Strongest poet. However Don't mind if it' Mahon or Rich and failing those two Donne and failing all of them, Frost! Should be ok on it though.

Comnparative...bit meh, but looking over stuff today it's not that difficult to answer although the length of it could be iffy...

Othello, I feel i can answer anything on it. Fairly easy to link things together once you have a good understanding and knowledge of the play...


BRING IT ON!

Poetry... if it's Donne, I'm okay. Anyone else, screwed.

Same as.

I think I might just pray.

My preferences have changed

Poetry:

• Mahon (1st choice)
• Donne
• Rich

Othello: (My worst question )

• Iago (1st)

Comparative:

• Literary Genre
• Theme of Love/Romance

x-katz-x

Poetry has gotta be Donne or Boland (im praying anyways!), Im really hopin for Iago in Othello or mayb Jealousy nd for the comparatives im basically screwed bt my best bets wud b theme or issue

Tragamin2k2

I cant remember the last time i was wrong

Quoting yourself for self praise, now thats a new low.

Just messing with ya. I was fairly sure she was coming up as well but still I chose not to study her because I can't stand her poetry and I find it difficult to study poetry that doesn't interest me.

Luckily I had Donne and Larkin well prepared so I was grand.

Did a nice question on Donne.

Tragamin2k2

larkin is the man aswell, he was me backup
