    Any ideas what to concentrate on for the speech?
    I'd love a speech to World Leaders on Global Warming or something like that.....or a speech to a teacher retiring.....
    Whats likely?

    I have a strange feeling that Plath will come up again.
    But I think that there'll be two women.
    If I was to guess:
    Crucible Single Text
    (a) John Proctor Question.
    (b) Question on the Community of Salem, Fanatacism/Empowerment.

    Poetry
    Plath/Rich
    Boland
    Larkin
    Donne

    I want either Rich or Boland, I know my essay for Rich but my one on Boland is much better so if I learn it alright, it'll be a lot better. I don't why but I have a sneaking suspicion they'll put Plath on again as last time Plath was on (before 06) she was on for two years running.

    Othello:
    Hoping for a character question on Iago or Othello.

    Comparative:
    Genre
    Theme

    Poerty:
    Boland/Rich
    Mahon
    Montague

    It would be unlikely that two female poets would come up, right? :confused: It seems like only one comes up every year....
