Difference between which and how many

Togepi

Studying the three women very well, hoping for Rich! Then I'll do Frost as a backup, and maybe glance over Kavanagh as an extra backup.

Spattersonox

Heaney and Plath with Larkin as a last resort. 'Mon HEANEY

Mysteriouschic

I'm studying Plath , Rich , Boland , Heaney and Kavanagh.
I really want Plath or Rich to come up! preferably Plath .

reznov

aoife..x

I am only doing 2! Plath and Heaney... hoping Plath will come up though!

deathbythelc

Plath, Larkin, Kavanagh and Kinsella.

Might just look over Heaney as well. Except I hate his poetry. :rolleyes:

Cruel Sun

PLATH, I'll cry if she doesn't come up.

Will know Boland and Rich kind of for back up plan.

Whatsernamex33

Plath, Heaney, Kinsella, Kavanagh and Frost. Pretty much hoping for Heaney or Kinsella. (:

That Handsome Devil

Plath, Heaney, Kinsella, Kavanagh, Rich. The paranoia would kill me if I did less than 5!:o

plath. very surprised if shes on the paper

haro124

Plath Rich Boland Kinsella and Kavanagh- would prefer Plath but not too optimistic about her coming up Learning Kinsella realyy well because I think that he'll be the least answered !

I could be completely wrong, but the poetry is a risky game! Rich is the biggest banker for me!

imelle

studying 5, i'm a repeat so making sure i'm safe, learned from taking risks last year :P

Mysteriouschic

Plath , Rich or Boland so needs to come up. I'm really banking on Plath and Rich as my next best.

AllyMcFearless

Kinsella,Heaney and Plath learned well. Could probably wing Frost as I learned him really well for 5th year exams..

We shall see!

oldcrescent

its only worth 50 marks...be grand :cool:

We did all 8 poets, and were told to do minimum 5 .. I had decided to Plath, Rich, Heaney, Kavanagh and Larkin but have only done Kavanagh, Heaney and Rich .. I hope Heaney comes up, it being his last year and all! Though Rich is so easy .. who do ye think will come up?

Moved your post into the more recent thread about poets so we don't have a few identical threads floating around!

I did all 8 because I want my choice out of all the questions. There's usually a nice general one in there. I'm hoping for an A1 in English though, gonna be really bummed out if I don't get it...

I did 3, plath, heaney and kavanagh.
Nobody seems to be going for kavanagh, i reckon this could be another year where they threw out an unexpected poet, so for me kavanagh could be it. Heaney seem to be defo coming up and plath is more than likely to come up i think

Anyone else braving the elements with 3 poets?

CaoimheCweeva

I really think Heaney's going to come up anyways, and I HOPE TO GOD Rich does too, she's so damn easy .. Plath, hate her and haven't looked at her once, Kavanagh is the only other poet I've studied , meh .. COME ON RICH!

Was originally planning on doing 5 poets, only began studying a few days ago so 3 it is!

Kinsella's my man

Killian In The Name Of

RICH, PLATH OR HEANEY MUST BE ON PAPER 2

*panic*

Mysteriouschic

Does anyone else think Boland is reappearing I'm thinking she might. This was on paper 1 if you read text 2.
"Learn them too , from the influence on the famine has had on contemporary irish poets. When Eavan Boland reflects on the limitation of science of catography because the famine road does not show up on the map or Seamus Heaney writes........ "
They mentioned Yeats in it somewhere too.
And Heaney is tipped to come up and he was mentioned so Boland up for 2012?

Bubbleope

am studying Heaney, Plath and Larkin in depth(7-8 poems each + personal details) cause they seem like real possibilities!!
{even though i despise Plath - such a boring poet}

and then just to be careful i'm studying Kinsella and Kavanagh just a small bit (6 poems each - only like 1 or 2 quotes from each)

and that'll do. hopefully.
if Heaney comes up i'll personally give him a hug one of these days now!! jk. :pac: but i love his poetry. /: bejaysus he better come up! O:
