Sorry I'm only coming in really late on this topic but didn't want to have to read 53 or so pages.

So did the paper actually get handed out or is it just a rumour? Absolutely crazy if it did. Doesn't seem right to me.

My sister is doing her L.C at the moment and she said that the comparative question is just what she wanted but is fearing it could be changed.

Huge fcuk up on the examiners part there.

Lot of crap being said here about the students and how they're innocent parties in all this. The two who signed the envelope are not innocent, and the ones who went online are not innocent. Any using their real names on Twitter or anywhere else it's easy to work out who they are should be identified and punished to the fullest extent possible. They attempted to cheat and attempted to help others cheat. It may not have worked but that's still an offence that can be grounds for cancellation of their whole exams. Even leaving out the effect it's had there's no way they should all get off freely.

I imagine there are a few people who do Engineering AND English. Dont think the paper could be on at around 6 in the evening, if thats what you were insinuating:)

You never have to write about liking a poet, you can argue that you dislike her and as long as you back up your points, you're sorted.

What's not to like. I mean "Power" is just so easy to write about what with the parts that make little sense and have a tenuous connection at best.

Every answer I have ever done on her is negative. Even in class. If we're asked about the appeal of her poetry...*headdesk*

Nah,I'd say the questions will be really straightforward and ambiguous. Hopefully.

Any idea about the comparative?

Again, most likely the same modes, just different questions. They might change a mode but sure once you've theme and cultural context covered you'll be grand.

Toad-Girl

Was talking to my aunt there, an english teacher she reckons same poets different questions, and they'll prob change comparative cos everyone had cultural context guessed... Also said all the distress should lead to easier marking scheme....but I'm still mad!!:mad::mad::mad:
Why not just keep quiet...It was the perfect paper like....

Don't suppose you've a copy of that on your computer? I've always wanted to read a good critical essay!

I've learned Walcott, Bishop and Longley. The only other two poets we've studied have been Rich and Larkin.

I hate Larkin.

Should I study Rich to be safe, and should I maybe study another poet like Montague on my own?

Lots of people saying there's no way they'd dare not put up a female poet after this mess.

I wish I'd done Rich

Rich is HIGHLY unlikely cos she was on last yr and is on the course next year! Relax:)

I thought they were confined to counties, like animals in a zoo.

Wow could that be a reference to paper 1, it seems like it might be! Don't you know that being confined to one county is nothing like a superintendants natural habitat. They can walk upto 50 fifty miles and between counties each day!

I dont suppose Maths, Irish or Geography will also be marked jus a tad bit easier? Or does they have no say in other papers marking schemes?

Nothing will change in those I'm afraid.

They could have at least postponed it to a time when most of the more important exams have been completed instead of just sticking it in the nearest spot possible.

Whats the big fuss then

My point exactly

No point in learning anything new at this stage, just revise what you know! It'll only create even more un-necessary stress at this stage!
