kevin12345 · 10-06-2010 03:39PM

Studied stuff went great...especially the letter

unseen was ok got the poetry qs grand...only answered on one poem didn't get the second poem at all :P the comprehension? BSed my way through it...the ending was interesting and dramatic blah blah blah

Luno · 10-06-2010 03:39PM

Worst paper ever I feel like crying... The one poem I knew couldn't be used cause all the options were on a duine like wtf?

The seen fiction was even worse the novel we done( Aililiu Bop Siuaidi) didn't fit a single one of the headings and I had nothing as back up!

Poetry was hard the fiction was hard and the letter was the only okay bit but still...

:mad:

mista_2k10 · 10-06-2010 03:42PM

Do you know the part A on the studied pros?, is it true that you can use any theme for that part?

, because thats what i did because the themes for part B were absolute S****e i thought

I thought it was a horrible paper...
I didn't have anything to fit the themes in the Pro, so I just wrote about An Corp as "life in the country side"...:o

bluejay14 · 10-06-2010 03:46PM

Unseen Pros: not too hard, I understood most of it
Studied Pros: none of the fit "an craiceann agus a luach very well", ended up going with life in the city and combining my two answers of grá and bochtaineacht.
Unseen Poetry: Brilliant all my worrying for nothing, understood most of the 2 poems
Studid poetry: fearg with an t-ozón, I was tempted to go for an Tigh Nua and lonleiness
Letter: Grand.

When I have it all analysed like that it seems to have gone better than I thought it did.:)

You're poor sister:(! Tbh I felt like crying too! It was unfair they've changed the paper enough and then they start messing around with stuff that you're pretty much sure would stay the same!

I was hoping to do well in Irish and all!

mista_2k10 · 10-06-2010 03:50PM

I was actually kinda excited about paper 2

, but feck me that paper 2 was just nonsense :mad:. They better not mark us hard

suitcasepink · 10-06-2010 03:50PM

I did In Ifreann Glas for the pro thing. Its about 10 guys working in Venezuela in a mine and the natives are killing them and stuff..
I used nature as the theme (absolute nothing else!) It was ridiculous I wrote the account then at the end, there was a lot of people natives and foreigners but all these people are part of nature :L Then some were killed but other died of natural(NATURE) causes..

My correcting persons gonna think Im a pleb...

Namabillion · 10-06-2010 03:51PM

Unseen prose: went ok
studied prose: country life and díoltas an mhada rua
unseen poetry: understood the poodle
one not the other one
studied poetry: subh milis and fearg
letter: the one with the new principal. Brilliant

For the one where you did country life, did you just give a short summary of the story or mention where the countryside was n the story?

basically the same for me exept i did an'tadh for the countryside. the headings for the prose did cause difficulties. Oh, and kevin12345, you were on the ball about the letter just before the exam

I gave a summary & then said where country life was briefly

Mayoegian · 10-06-2010 03:57PM

Guys, doing a post mortem on the exam is not good for ye!:p Ye aren't the only ones who thought the exam was hard-hundreds, maybe thousands of other JCers around the country are probably really, really diappointed with it, and from what I've read, it sounds like it was really hard:(

You need to have a good PMA-positive mental attitude!:) These are the positives ye can take now:
-Ye were able to write something for each question, even if you didn't exactly answer the question, ye will get marks for it
-There are plenty of people just like you all around the country, who found the exam very difficult
-Ye have now finished 4 of your exams!
-It's Friday tomorrow and ye have the whole weekend ahead of ye!

Guys, I'm gonna sound like a hippy saying this but.....BE HAPPY!!:D:);)

Smiley Laura · 10-06-2010 03:59PM

Ew ew ew. That Paper 2 was really horrible. The only scéal I knew was "An tAdh", and none of the themes really worked well with that. A lot of people did nature, and talked about the sea, but I did life in the country side...it was a long shot though!

The poetry was impossible! The themes, well they were hardly themes! Did anyone have anything prepared to write about a person...?

Closed ac · 10-06-2010 03:59PM

That was grand. The themes weren't great on the first look, but I still managed to write a good 3/4 pages.
Letter was really nice, I chose B.
The unseen prós and unseen poetry were tricky, but still managable.

Overall, I'd say I got a B in Irish, which is what I was aiming for.

soccymonster · 10-06-2010 04:00PM

Yea I agree with Mayoegian

Now off to furnace with ye. About time, ye burnt those jc irish books... for good!! (a definite positive)

"An tÁdh" & "Saol faoin tuath" was fine? It's about three young boys who live faoin tuath? :P

"An tÓzon" will be accepted under "Duine Feargach" if that's the one you're talking about because the poet uses personification in the poem.

What about recycling soccy?

I'm off to dump the sheets from my folder into the recycling bin now.

I love my post-mortem . I made me feel happier.:)

I used "An tÓzon". That was exactly my thinking.

Hopefully!

Blue_Seas · 10-06-2010 04:09PM

That sucked. I doubt I got half marks in the unseen pros and poems and my studied pros didn't fit in at all! An Punk!
I just said 'School Life' and had to make up that it's a poem about school life because she attends school (I actually don't know if she does ._.) and at the end I changed my summary to say that she was crying in the evening AND in school the next week

If that paper was honestly not just hard for me then the teachers will be raging. First they change paper 1 suddenly and then paper 2 has this new format for studied themes?

I think I fit "duine athas" or whatever it was with Teilifis and I did alright in the letter though... at least I put something down :rolleyes:

soccymonster · 10-06-2010 04:10PM

My sister used Subh milis in duine feargach. Even though the file is only angry for like to lines of the poem.

And guys, I remember last year, I completly misunderstood all my unseen stuff (i'll find quotes later on it which'll probably make you laugh at my stupidity :P) and was freaking out but i still got an honour

So chillax and concentrate on aceing (sp?) maths and geography..
