    I don't know how to feel for tomorrow....

    I've done:
    Poets: Boland, yeats, kavanagh

    Lear:
    Character, redemptive forces, scenes of tenderness of good and evil
    (I think a lot of aspects of the play is covered in those three sections)

    Comparative:
    Gerneral V+V and comparative for backup

    For poetry I've done Longley, Rich, Boland, Yeats, and Kavanagh! Hopefully I'll get a nice choice, really hoping for Boland/Yeats though!
    For comparative I've done CC and LG. I hope to god CC comes up! I know it probably won't but my CC essay is way better...
    And for Lear I've just learned quotes, read a million summaries and character sketches, and hoped for the best...

    Lear; Lear himself, how he's a man 'more sinned against than sinning', Goneril, Regan, Edmund, good vs. evil, and how the evil characters are more interesting than the good ones. Might look over the fool later, since I've stuff prepared on him, and I learned a lot of stuff/did a few essays on him throughout the year since our teacher was convinced he'd come up.

    Comparative; Currently watching Dancing at Lughnasa on ye olde youtube, planning to do GV+V. Shall have to go over/make some notes~!

    Poetry; Boland, pretty much. Might also do Yeats if I've time.

    Lear: Evil portrayed more frighteningly, Love as a redemptive force, Lear's journey through intense sufferring, evil vs good that's all im doing

    Poets: Yeats, Boland, Kavanagh and cram rich tonight

    Comparative: GV&V and Cultural context!
    It really is luck on the day if the questions that come up favour what you have studied :)

    lear : lears transformation, love as redemptive force, (bit of) language and imagery.. very few quotes.

    comparative : literary genre (hopee it comes up), doing GVV in the morning.

    poetry : boland..

    need one more poet to do quickly in the morning, whos easy and a guarantee incase boland doesnt come up?

    Lear: quotes and some notes on god-knows-what... Lear should be ok

    Poetry: Yeats and Eliot - I'd love if either came up. I'll probably look over Boland in the morn

    Comparative: Literary Genre - IT BETTER BE THERE!
