PaulMcG

PaulMcG

It was a lovely paper actually. Both Dickenson and Boland came up, and Heaney and Wordsworth. Literary Genre and GVV (evil) came up in the comparative. The unseen poem was very happy

Caoimhe

No, I had the same English P1 as Cremo (see above)
Click here for notes on the cuirteanna

Sorry, I didn't even look at any question but An Triail and I can't remember the other Fiosracht Mná question, sorry! Can anyone else remember?

Camogie Playa

The pres are so annoying, on the midterm at the mo and its hanging ova you, but ive done nothing yet!whoops, ah at least i can look forward to going out celebrating their finish!!

edibility

Caoimhe: it was a nice paper wasn't it? The Cladius question was sweet, and I'd just done a letter to Boland before christmas the unseen poetry was dead easy too. Only thing that threw me was the lack of Theme/Issue on the comparative, but I managed. Finishing mine tomorrow, art history and then art craft on wednesday, like it though so not too bad.

Anyone do an honours maths mock yet, and if so how'd you find it?

Scraggs

Caoimhe, Edibility and Cremo

Maths was very managable I thought. One or two bits threw me though - Paper 1 algebra there was a 5un+2 + 4un+1 + un type of problem and I could not for the life of me find p and q. Most upsetting. Then in Paper 2 I almost forgot to do my option from Section B until about 15 mins were left but it was so bloody easy I ended up finishing it in under 5mins (huzzah for the probability option!)

Creamy Goodness

okay my english paper 2:

i'm not gonna type out all the options as most people do hamlet for their single text (i'll type out hamlet and amongst women as i done amongst women for single text)

Single Text

AMONGST WOMEN

(i) "Michael Moran's relationship with his sons is a tumultuous one at best"

Write a response to this view of the novel, supporting the points you make by reference to the text.

OR

(ii) "In the novel, despite their desire for freedom, Moran's daughters can not free themselves from Great Meadow."

To what extent would you agree with the above view of the novel? Support your answer by reference to the text.


HAMLET

(i) "Although Claudius is an unscrpulous character, he does hav a conscience and is not entirely evil."

What do you think of this assessment of Claudius?? Support your points by reference to the play.


OR

(ii) "From its very first performance on stage, the play Hamlet has captivated audiences."

Consider the aspects of the play, Hamlet, which in your opinion have given rise to the play's popularity throughout the ages. Textual support may include reference to a particular performance you have seen of the play.



Comparative Study

THE GENERAL VISION AND VIEWPOINT

1 "The general vision and viewpoint of texts often determine the nature of the reader's (or viewer's) response."

In light of the above statement, write an essay in which you describe how your response has been shaped by the general vision and viewpoint of at least two texts on your comparative course.

OR

2. (a) What did you like or dislike most about the treatment of the general vision and viewpoint in any one of the texts that you studied as part of your comparative course? Support your answer by reference to the text.


2. (b) Compare two other texts from your comparative course in the light of your answer to part (a) above. Support the comparisons you make by reference to the texts.

LITERARY GENRE

1 "Authors make deliverate decisions about how to present their narratives."

In the light of the above statementm write a comparative essay about the ways in which authors present their stories. Your essay should make clear comparisons between the texts your refer to.


OR


2 "The structure of a text is rooted in the techniques used by the author."

(a) compare two of the texts you have studied in your course in the light of the above statement. Support the comparisons you make by reference to the texts.

(b) Write a short comparative commentary on a third text from your studies in the light of your answer in part (a) above.

they really love the phrase "in light of"


POETRY

1. "Wordsworth's poetry has stood the test of time"

Write out the text of a short presentation you would make to your fellow students in response to the above title. Outline the aspects of William Wordsworth's poetry that appeal to the modern reader. Give reasons for your choice, supporting them by reference to the poems on your course.
