15 days?What are you talking about?Its today fortnight....and today is almsot over anyways!!

eoiner

i have just counted the days, 15 from 2day till the morning of the 6th.

Steve01

Didn't we have one of these polls like a week ago?
In any event my moneys on Plath. By which I mean I'm PRAYING she'll come up. Admittedly its not quite the same as an accurate prediction...

Haven't a Clue

Plath better be up poetry wise. I'd settle for kingship or evil in Macbeth. Theme/Issue for the comparitive.

If Plath doesn't come up there is going to be alot of sad faces in the exam hall yesterday 2 weeks:eek:

Plath, Yeats, Frost, Donne are my tips to come up

I'm doing Plath, Yeats, Frost, Eliot, Kavanagh.

FunkZ

I'm taking a massive risk and only studying Plath and Kavanagh, so if they don't come up I could be repeating.

And I'm studying Kingship tonight... tomorrow and and then I'll revise it before the exam.

Only 2 poets!!:eek: Thats pretty risky...and foolish. Why would you only decide to study two poets?

If I were only studying two poets.I would study the two female poets.

I'm hoping Elliot will come up!!

your gonna need to study more than just two, i would go with montague as a third option... kavanagh is a possibility, however there is somtething about his work that just doenst seem to connect, there is not soluble question that one could easily answer and get full marks, e.g plath = deppresion....

sully88

Lads is anyone else getting this feeling that Kingship is going to be up? The papers were set back in November and at the time the was all the talk about Saddam Hussein and sometimes the examiner likes to keep things topical. What do ye think?

i have a feeling kingship could be up, but i dont think it has anything to do with hussein, its just a big theme that hasnt come up before

Ah you just don't think abstractly enough.

Kavanagh is class purely for the fact that you can read his poetry and finish thinking, "lol, that's trippy".

I won't be spending much time studying English, but I reckon I'll go with Plath, Eliot, Donne, Bishop and Kavanagh.

Jonathan

Im doin 3.

Kavanagh (last up in 04)
Frost (last up in 03)
Montague (first year up)

I heard a rumour that it's Montague's only year on the course? Taken off the LC for 5th years???? Does anbody have a 5th yr book to confirm?


Lads, if all else fails and nobody that you have covered comes up, take heart from the fact that the poetry essay is only 1/8th of the english exam english, and therefore only 1/48th (2.08%) of your overall leaving cert!!!!!

Seinas

Im expecting Kavanagh and Montague... i will study them really well... and probably not study the rest ... what a risk taker, ha! but i will just go over Frost and maybe Eliot just in case
