Why the hell did we do "Toraiocht Diarmad agus Grainne" for the novel question... EVERYONE ELSE IN THE COUNTRY IS DOING AN TRIALL....

Well actually no, we were made do Peig of all things, truly horrible, pile of sh**e bout an old woman on the Blascaod Mor.

Easy enough question tho so i'm happy enough, if only we could have done something normal tho :mad:

We did Thig na Tit Orm, by Maidhc Dainín. Fantastic Book.

My irish teacher told the class before the summer holidays last year that we all had to get An Triail over the summer and read it. The problem was that when she told us this she was speaking irish so only a few people understood and actually did it. I vaguely remember some conversation where the words "i rith an tSamhraidh" kept coming up but thought nothing of it.
When I did read it in sixth year I was one of only a few who did. Even the teacher didn't read it. You could tell cos when we were going through our notes on it she was saying "The house was falling down. That's a metaphor for her life." Eventually I pointed out that the house actually did fall down.

It is also a metaphor for life....

And its like 5 pages long(ok slight exaggeration) but still, easy to read

i thought..

stair was handy. i did dubhglas de hide agus an ghluaiseacht athbheocain, gaeilge agus na meain chumarsaide and just in case dha.

i maybe the only person in the country to do the teicniochta dramatuil for an triail. i love that aspect of the play and loved writiing about it.

the poems were good. i liked an ghealt and nil aon ni is by far my favourite poem on the course.

for ard section i did an toilean. i knew both of the poems well and i thought... everyone is going to do an chead drama cuz its easy or whatever and like the examiner will see so many an chead drama answers.. so i did an toilean and said it was about deirdre brennan's want for sex.. i made it work! ha!

all and all brilliant paper! and i think they were nice to non-fluneters. nothing was too hard on it, or too easy!

Ha! I didn't do on tOilean because I think an Chead drama is easier, but we had a right laugh looking for all her not-so-subtle double meanings in an tOilean! Seriously some of them are just creepy...

brianfiel

did neone do cursa roghnach?

Glazun

<_<; Bleh. I did.. ionno.. I either did bad or average or good no real idea..
I someone how climbed through stair na gealige.. Remembered cathal searcaigh because he's from donegal.. and .. he's gay. I figured that out myself.. the book said "he wants his friend to move to the countryside" and the teacher was saying his lover.. I figured the book as ashamed.. Anyhoo.. Triail went okay I hope. Just listed out characters and their hypocrical natures.. I WAS going to do technicochti drama.. just in case. Bull****ted my way through an chead drama, I figured it was piss easy whilst studying and didnt think it would come up, but I hope I did alright, I just said the theme was the bad life the poet lead the first 4 lines were preparation explaining to the reader, then he displays how the play.. well anyway, I could've done worse. I Wish I had studied more though, could've gotten a lot higher.

Yeah but she was telling us that it was only a metaphor and that the house hadn't actually collapsed.

iTOTALLY agree..i mean WTF!!!pervy of what!!:eek:

Rockerette

hehe... moisten her glens or something..

*giggles like a fool*



see Sean Mac its different for you, youre frickin fluent!

deisedolly

Hey forgot to ask ye!

Yanno the secound question on An Chead Drama where they quoted a piece?
What did ye all say it meant?
I said it represented all the sadness and problems and loneliness that everyone goes through in their life and blah blah blah...
I didn't have a clue really! Was I anywhere near right??

Rockerette

it was basically (i think...)

his saying that if the next life was as lonely as the life he has just gone through, he'll go crazy..


this shows that he wasnt very happy with the life he has just lead, and it was difficult and lonely for him..


or something like that


i think thats the generally right idea.

deisedolly

Ah yeah you're right! feck it anyway haha

I knew everything about that bloody poem but hadn't looked at it for weeks!

River Allow

Yes! Thats what I said too.. I thought I fecked that up.. But sure twas only worth 6 marks anyway Deise Dolly. Overall, I found the paper to be very fair. Whats the difference between na Laoithe Fiannaíochta and Fiannaíocht?? I did the canúintí and Gluaiseanna and Fiannaiochta for stair.. Couldn't belive some of the poetry questions.. They were so general like, about themes and stuff. I fecked up Bimse Buan really bad though!

exiot

I loved the paper, it was very easy. We showed our bteacher it after and she said it was one of the easiest papers she has seen.

Bring on my A1..
