You're grand. You don't need to do all eight poets and only need to cover two of the comparative modes anyway. There are still a few weeks left, but it sounds like you're pretty well set.

Doing 8 is absolutely mental, 5 is fine. You only need 2 modes, why kill yourself studying 3? Don't start stressing because others have covered more (and they really are the exception), it's not a competition. At the end of the day, you only write 3 essays on paper II.

Thanks : ) Yeah we have a good bit done done it just feels like there's a lot more to do. My teacher knows what she's doing though so I shouldn't be that worried, I just wish we were a little bit further on.

Bit off topic but no points starting a new thread.I just wanted to ask how many poets poeple were doing? I'm about to start my seventh one and I think it's too much, seeing as only 4 come up! Anyone else doing this?

well i know yeats, boland, keats, kavanagh and longley pretty well. our english teacher reckons we can get another poet done, so that's 6 poets. she's not going to do eliot with us which im a bit disappointed about because i think his poems are amazing. might learn him just by myself haha

Im doing Boland,Rich, Yeats and Kavanagh, how does that sound..:S

Theres a girl in my class just doing the two women because of the 'one women always comes up' theory, but she more than likely knows all the rest anyways, would anyone else chance it?

Nope I wouldn't chance it at all. According to our teacher the 'one woman always has to come up' thing is only what has happened every year thus far but it's not written in stone. Apparently lots of people are expecting them to not put on a female poet sometime soon and this year is possible seeing as for next year's exam there's 3 female poets on the course.

So basically no I will not be risking it. I will be knowing Boland and Rich well but I'll also be knowing Kavanagh, Longley and Eliot very well too! (Well hopefully! )

I don't think Kavanagh was on the DEB paper. At least I don't remember him being on it at all. I might be wrong though, it's been so long lol

I really hope Yeats is on.

I know people who are only doing two and three poets. Im doing five and going over the sixth. They can take the woman off, so I dont know why people are depending on choosing three lol. Im doing Boland, Rich, Yeats, Keats, Longley and reading over Kavanagh. I HATE Kavanagh and Keats.

Why is it everyone's teacher has deprived them of Eliot??

we did eliot :L


bit iffy.

i didnt liek him, but when we did a question i did 7 and a half pages so now i dont know :L


i would love kavanagh, but i think he is on next year? so probably not that likely

fufureida

I only have essays on boland kav n longley done. I'm going to do Yeats but don't bank on him coming up just cus it's his anniversary or whatever... My teacher said everyone thought that wen she did tge LC n he didn't come up... Everyone was quite shocked.

My teacher is rubbish I really hate her. We have only started doing paper 1 n all she ever does is read notes she doesn't teach... It's sorta pathetic really.
