I rolled the dice, and it payed off!

Happy as fcuk!

I love you Rich. I know you're a lesbian and our love can never be, but I still love you.

Finical

Yeats.

Diabhal Beag

I did Longley, Kavanagh, Rich and Boland. Saw Kavanagh and was so happy I got a boner legit

uncle-mofo

Eliot, you long winded bastard you saved my life.

Implosiony

Eliot was my main player. He's so interesting and stands out the most = easy to learn. Had Yeats prepared, and ye all convinced me to prepare Boland too.

Anyway, Eliot was fine, had all 4 poets covered basically anwyway :P

Lear now on the other hand... *grumbles*

Crow92

'In the room the students come and go saying boland is all that had to know'

uncle-mofo

King Lear was quite the overwhelming question.

johnmcdnl

Take a risk and it'll pay off - that's why i backed yeats' who actually was heavily tipped...

i appreciate your poetry William but I'm sorry - i'm going to have to go outside now with a lighter and burn every last note I have on you :D:D

Go on Yeats!

FredBaby!

nearly had a heart attack when i realised that Boland wasnt on but i think i'm better off as i was able to go for a nice little feminist rant during my Rich essay. Happy out!

Victoria.

3/4 of my men came up!
I'm so happy I could jump out a window, can't even study geog now!

Come on Eliot, I knew you wouldn't let me down!

Gamble paid off, didn't even look at Boland or Rich!

Ah Kavanagh, you are in indeed Epic

Reillyman

Yeats you legend! Thanks for all the tension between the real world you lived in and the ideal world you imagined!:D:D:D

Yeats, you grumpy b*****d, thanks for being there when I needed you the most.

2 questions...First of all ya know the way it was spelled " yeats's " is it supposed to be " yeats' " or is that my imagination? And does it make sense to talk about september 1913 in todays yeats q?

Well, I did anyway.

Yeah, I sort of slipped it in when I was talking about his disgust with the lack of romantics left in Ireland (I was in the middle of proving a point about his hatred of imperfection, it made sense at the time).

It's "Yeats's" Because Yeats is one syllable.

For the second question, I wrote about it anyway. Basically I said about Romantic Ireland being dead and gone in the real world but in the ideal world he wants Romantic Ireland to be alive... I don't know if that's right I'm a pure BS'er.

it's allowed either way apparently but i usually use Yeats' - i read this in a thread before... i hope that person was right..

I rolled the dice as well, but it didn't pay off!

How many points is Poetry actually worth?

WB Yeats: Snappin' necks, and cashin' cheques. Discuss with appropriate references to his works.

I love how everyone pretty much has an emotional connection to their poet now! I think I might get a framed picture of Kavanagh for my bedroom wall.

Oh dear... Poor girl, but she could've at least tried to make some kind of an answer on someone else!
I was a nerd and learned 5 poets. Turned out nicely as I had a choice between Rich, Kavanagh, and Yeats. Went for Yeats but I'm kind of regretting it now as everyone did Yeats so I have a feeling I'll be marked harder

Me too! AND, I'm repeating so I learned 4 new poets and the one I did, Rich, I'd studied first Leaving Cert round...

freeze4real

My englsh paper was a disater both 1 and 2.
For personal esssay I made up 4 differnt characters about freedom of what it meant to them and I added mine.

For paper 2 I was expecting longley but I did rich. I discussed 6 poems with 3quotes om all except 1.

Shakespeare was out of the blue. I did thr second bit and compared Edgar to edumund with 5 quotes.

I'm thinkin of dong plc courses right now.

CLAIRE_CAT

thank you sweet sweet kavanagh
i think i may just be in love with you right now xxxxx

If she only prepared one poet, doesn't say much for her analytical skills tbh.

Would it not have been better to have made a half assed attempt at one of them? Even without any quotes :rolleyes:
Although i feel slightly better if this person is my competition for med, petty i know

monaghanmissus

Kavanagh is a babe.

What do examiners think when they see a pity note? Would they just ignore it or get a little giggle?

snooleen

I did Yeats in My J.C, most exams I've done, apart from the mocks, and now the actual leaving cert. We've been through a lot together and I am sad to think that our time together is coming to an end...hopefully I'll get to study him in college is I get the points..

I'd say it'd be same reaction as today when many realised Boland wasn't there...ROFL!:D

Depends on the person I suppose ... but one way or the other, you can't award marks for "the wrong poet came up!!"

FairyWings

Yeats you BABE! I knew Rich would come up the whole fecking country studied Boland. See the facebook groups about here lol:D

Haha yeah and theres people on Boland's Facebook page declaring their everlasting hate for her and calling her a 'fat slag' :rolleyes:

Orlaladuck

Ah now, that would've happened regardless!

metalfest
