    I THINK I banged a C out of that one. I was a bit too tired for the first paper, but I wa son fire for the second paper. I made absolutely no improvement from the mocks though - it was basically the SAME paper

    That english paper was VERY nice, I was so so relieved when I saw Plath there. Was sweet, wrote 5 pages on her. Wrote 24 pages overall. Was finished about 30mins early, didnt leave though.

    I love you heany, hope you get my letter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,543 ✭✭✭sionnach


    paper one > 10pgs, 4pg essay paper 2> 12pgs. Was pretty happy, except for teh poetry, i was counting on yeats r hopkins, naturally they didnt come up, i scraped by on heaney though. Paper one was dead on, very broad essay titles, i did teh heroes one. Macbeth question was beautiful ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,345 ✭✭✭Squall


    ummmmm, you spelt Heaney wrong Caesar :), hes not gonna like that


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,452 ✭✭✭✭Dont be at yourself


    I think I did roughly 10 pages for each paper. Quality, not quantity though, right? :)

    Paper I was ok, Question B wasn't the best, and I had to force an essay out.

    Paper II could not have been better. The Macbeth was pretty much a standard character question, Cultural Context was completely open and Plath and Heaney came up, as expected.

    Having to tell Heaney how much I love his poetry though... urgh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 843 ✭✭✭^whitey^


    Since when does it matter how many pages ya do?

    Quality not quantity eh ? 5 pages on plath :eek: /me smacks cheek


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,263 ✭✭✭Caesar_Bojangle


    Yeah but heany with an 'e' is so 1999, get with the times heany.

    I finished my letter to heaney off with ' xxx ' which can either be interpreted as kisses or an invitation for ghey sex. I'll let Mr Heaney decide on that


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,443 ✭✭✭cartman


    well thought p1 was iffy but p2 rocked Plath came up:)
    i wrote 12pg for p1 and 13 for p2 and left an hour later in p1 and hour n forty min b4 finish on p2:)

    dead tom:/

    lol, i was like - " Oh Seamus, you sooooo diserved that nobel prize, i thought the honesty fo your representation of the timid nature of blooming young love in 'Twice Shy' was bleedin' rapid!"

    I only knew 2 poets, Heaney and Plath and they both came up. Someone up there likes me :)

    I only looked over eight poems in ordinary level, the rest i didn't even have a clue. There are 36 poems all together and 3 of the poems i did came up out of the 4 on the paper. I can't believe how lucky I am, I was afraid none might come up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,155 ✭✭✭SOL


    I wrote one side of the page only an entire book and half another page, someone do the maths?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,487 ✭✭✭banquo


    i wrote 11 for p1, 12 for paper2, and i should warn that my writing is absolutly tiny.

    I ONLY learned off a heaney essay, and thank god it came up, even if only in the form os astupid letter.

    it was the last poet in the list, and i was DYING of fear when i'd read donw through the first threee and no heanye yet.

    paper one was cool, paper 2 rocked. a good paper overall.

    bring on Irish.

    Good work and good luck to all: Game On.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 767 ✭✭✭nesthead


    OMFG HOW EASY WERE THEY!?

    ye quality not quantity lads.....8 1/2 p.I
    10 1/2 p.II
    :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    Kinda ****ed up my plath could only remeber 3 of her poems. the question said what poems would you read to an audience... i said my 3 and said i wouldnt read anymore cause theyre too depressing for angsty teens
