Woo, me and Rozabeez got that english paper 2 with the kingship/theme and stuff. That was sweet, but my unseen's isn't long enough.

History- was okay, the GAA question was dodgy, and the essays I picked were pearse, propaganda under the nazis and civil rights and martin luther king. Hand is THROBBING!

The picture one, it's like tiny illustrations of hurling, and you have to say what evidence there is of rules....bit of a weird question. And it's hard to figure out..

The rest are alright though, harder than the stuff in the papers, and the contextualisation question is to do with politics in the GAA.

The Pearse question is very weirdly phrased...nationalist icon? Why not just his role in the Rising, why??

Ah well, at least it's only the mocks.

DEB papers. (Or you actually are screwed).

Paper 1-Theme-Lifestyles- First comp- greedy Ireland, unhealthy/fat nation blah blah blah. Question B on it is a letter to the editor

Second comp- modern life of a geisha (nearly died, it's my hist topic). questions were quite hard, so i avoided it..and i disagreed with it . Question B on it was 'You've been asked by your guidance counseller to give a talk on a job you love (something like that)'

Third comp- visuals, various pictures of different lifestyles...celebrity, criminal, the goof life, cosmpolitan etc. Never looked at the questions, but did the question B on it. 'Write a detailed diary entry of ONE of the people in the pictures opposite'. Picture os someone in jail. SO easy.

Essays- Eh, something on materialism in our society, an article on the importance ofarts and tradition, speech on worries in your life...short story inspired by one of the images, etc.

Paper 2-Macbeth- Differences and similarities between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth OR Kingship. Kingship is actually easy, good kings duncan/malcolm, bad king Macbeth etc.

Comparative- how did the treatment of a theme add to the reading experience? didn't read general vision.

Poetry- Eliot, Plath, Kavanagh, Frost.

Unseen- 'After a Reading', the differences between ordinary life and the life of a poet, basically.

analyse this

thank you so much...im just praying to god that the DEB papers will come up!!

Omg I spent about 30 minutes on that last bit of the candle q, how was it done!?

AdMMM

Our Maths teacher put that very question on the board the other day because he said it was the most difficult question on it. Now I know that I'll be getting the same paper as you. Any further hints? My Paper I was bad. Real bad.
