LAst minutes tips for tomorrows Paper 2?

tonyheaney

So paper one out of the way didn't seem to bad but that remains ti be seen. I tend to ramble and i may have done so in P1.

On to Paper 2

• The Great Gatsby

I managed to locate a copy of Great Gatsby Audiobook (Accelerated) (google exactly those words) basically its the whole book read at a somewhat fast Accelerated pace and if you have the book and go along with the audio book you will have it read in 1/2 the time.

Does anyone have any more tips?

As for the comparison Texts


I can't find any audio book or movie based on The Plough and the Stars, anyone know where i can find online? NOT that crap USA movie that was complete and total cow dung. It's hard to read stage script so looking for a book to help me in the last stages.

Foster what a boring book any audio version about? Any hints on this book? what have i read and missed???


The Kings Speech Now i liked this movie, but any future hints welcome


Good luck all for tomorrow

Reading over your notes, previous Comparative/Single Text essays and looking at important quotes are probably the most useful things you can do at this point.

You better be doing ordinary level because you need to study something by Shakespeare for higher.

O, reason not the need! Our basest beggars are in the poorest thing superfluous.

and not a sin of C&P in sight :D

Gatsby isn't Shakespeare though, higher level students must study Shakespeare somewhere on the course be it single text or comparative, at least that's what my teacher told us, at ordinary level Shakespeare is optional.
Are you doing higher level?

Here for Comparitive Texts- Foster, TPATS and TKS do you all use the same titles for both VandV and CC? Our teacher told us to use Social Class, Poverty, Role of Men &women, Religion and politics/war' for both V+V and CC

Yeah you definitely have to do Shakespeare in some section of the Higher Level paper.

Makes me wonder what would happen if you didn't answer on any Shakespeare text? Would you get no marks for the single text or would your paper 2 be null and void?

Edit: never mind, figured it out:

Well Bishop came up in 2013 so I wouldn't say she's never been up before? Duncan's first year on the course is this year so that's why he's never been up.

Personally I'm studying Yeats, Eliot, Dickinson and Bishop. I'm going to have Plath as a back-up just in case neither of the other four come up.

Is the theme of Journey continued tomorrow? If it is would it be questions asking us to talk about Lear's growth through suffering or something like that?

Ordinary level will have questions about specific poems which are printed on the exam paper. Remember to discuss both the content (themes, ideas) and style (poetic techniques) of the poem!

Anyone else in panic mode? Trying to remember all these poets and quotes and remembering what to say is just ridiculous. Had so much fun writing answers to paper one today and now I dread this route learning test.

If you don't do Engineering you have the whole morning to shortlist everything you need. What I'm doing at this stage is just getting all my quotes and putting them on one page to have a look over them tomorrow

Very vague and mostly my own opinions so might not suit the way people were taught or could be wrong altogether! I'll take any advice people have though
