Actually, according to the Department guidelines, you're expected to be able to refer to six poems. That's just a guideline though; if you just do one poem and do it really well you'll still get the marks.

And isn't Irish Paper 2 *this* week? *grin*

6 is the recommended, and i would never ever go below 5. If you can do 7, thats better still.

Arghhh. 'Tis indeed. Must be the auld exam stress kicking in. Plus I haven't been able to eat anything all day. Damn ESB cut our electricity *all* day. Bastards.

7 poems are you mad? I hope you mean just study 7 poems, because 4 is the standard amount for answering one question. That's the ideal amount to be able to explore the question fully without having too much material to wade through to get to the point.

stuey

kavangh all the way. please i need kavangh.

Discharger Snake: how much are you planning on writing? 2 pages? I'm planning on 4!

I'm going for Kavanagh. I have a small bit done on Dickinson, though I suppose you could waffle your way through any of her essays with the 3 D's. I've also a small bit done on Plath. Either way, whichever comes up, I'd say i'll manage a pass.

I've a feeling Dickinson wont come up, and Plath will. I'll go 10/1 for Plath.

Don't say that. Just don't. That's the worst possible scenario. Feck Plath, Dickinson all the way. (Wishful thinking perhaps...)

10/1 Bitch.

I pissed myself laughing when I saw Kavanagh and Plath on the paper, and no sight of Dickinson.

I decided to do the Kavanagh question, and got Inniskeen Road done decent enough.
I decided to only do two poems - one in Monaghan, and one after the operation. I kept getting mixed up while doing Canal Bank Walk - mixed up with Lines Written. Only got about a page or so done on CBW.

looking at that poll it is amazing, 0 for plath 1 for hopkins, god this is a lesson for all you 5th years learn the poems dont gamble, i did it paid off, but dont do it unless ur generally a lucky person.

DS

Yeah, the moral of the story is don't gamble. Although she's an absolute DEFINITE for next year! :P

Due to her not turning up one of my friends left out poetry completely. You don't want that to happen to you.

Mutant_Fruit

Ya should all have listened to me. I learned 3 of the "more-than-likelies" (i'm the ONLY one who voted for hopkins it seems) and as a result i had two poets to choose from, Kavanagh and Hopkins.

Its over and done with now, no need to post about it (too much)

The poll was more for what people would prefer to come up... you could only vote once, so it's not as if nobody expected him to come up.

Suaimhneach

How deadly is it that Plath and Kavanagh came up?? Shame about Dickenson, but I think most people where covered! Twasn't that bad at all at all!

Smellyirishman

LOL most votes but didnt even come up! poor emily

:ninja: looking back, putting all my eggs in Kavanaghs basket was a bit stupid, but it paid off, and I did one ****ing class question. One class paper in fact. I just hope I'm this lucky with history predictions

CuLT

Heh, I gambled, didn't really study poetry this time round.

I knew hopkins to the ground and my bets were hedged that way, but i had mahon pretty well too.

Never studied the female poets properly, I felt dirty saying they were good, but dickenson wasn't on the course last year.
