English paper 2

For Macbeth I'm praying for Good and Evil and skimming over a few other topics, probably M and Lady M's relationship overall.

For Comparative I'm doing Cultural Context and maybe General Vision, although I'm not a fan.

Poetry is all about Longley and Bishop (Although I hope to God Longley turns up, Bishop sucks!)

Pigwidgeon · 03-06-2009 4:48pm

I have to say I would LOVE if Mahon came up, I know him so well from last year, just love his stuff.

But seeing as he was up last year it's very unlikely

I've got bishop and longley done quite well and going over montague too so hopefully that's enough.

hopeful_girl · 03-06-2009 4:51pm

if theme and issue comes up i die.

hopeful_girl · 03-06-2009 4:56pm

every year do people jyst say banqous coming up?

Leeg17 · 03-06-2009 4:58pm

likely_lass · 03-06-2009 5:34pm

im pretty sure im right but just checking

timing? 200 mins 200 marks

so does everyone else just give themselves a minute per mark?

Ruthieface · 03-06-2009 6:40pm

I've covered.

Poetry
Bishop
Longley
Montague (but not very well)

Might run over some rich quickly tonight...

Macbeth
Kingship
Imagery
Relationships

Comparative
Cultual Context
Father/Son relationship

If they don't put Bishop on the fuss that will be caused isn't worth their while to leave it out. They don't want to trick us, well at least I hope they don't

I'm refusing to prepare Elizabeth Bishop, purely because I can't stand her poetry.

I share your view on Bishop. Walcott, Longley and Cultural Context for me.

Is the rumour about the paper two been accidently handed out true???

Jello · 03-06-2009 7:31pm

If you go onto www.rte.ie - ''English paper two seen ahead of exam'' is under the news headlines, but when you click on the link it's a totally irrelevant story. This is a load of pants.

Sierra Oscar · 03-06-2009 7:37pm

The State Examinations Commission is deciding whether or not to go ahead with a second leaving Cert paper in English tomorrow after it emerged that students in one centre have already seen the paper.

English paper two was opened by mistake at an exmination centre in Co Louth this morning.

The error was imediately spotted and the papers were taken back, accordng to the state Examiniations Commission.

It has confirmed that a number of students did see the exam paper.

The Examinations Commission has a contingency paper.

Tonight it is discussing with the Department of Education about whether or not it is possible to get this contingency paper to centres aropund the country in time for tomorrow's exam at 9.30am.

debz_x · 03-06-2009 7:50pm

I am completely depending on Bishop,
but the majority of people are.
That's why I wouldn't be so surprised if she didn't make an appearance.

Stompbox · 03-06-2009 7:50pm

The paper has been rescheduled for saturday morning apparently.

Beau x1 · 03-06-2009 7:53pm

I rang the SEC Press release office and she said that they're investigating it; they don't know whether or not the paper has actually been seen or not it could just be a hoax..she's gonna ring me back when she has more.

happydayz182 · 03-06-2009 7:53pm

i am

Extrasupervery · 03-06-2009 7:54pm

Noice

Everyone should just basically stick to whatever their plan was, and not to buy into this stuff

Maybe it's true

Maybe it's not

Just chill and revise Walcott

Okay so yeah it happened in Louth, they're gonna try and get the contingency paper out tomorrow, they might not.

End of story
