What did you actually put down for the address though?

I just put
People of the future
Ireland

:pac: and then opened with Dear Sir/Madam

Well I figured such a thing wouldn't require an adress, probably going into a time capsule or some ****.

Same, I didn't know who to address it to, but I put my own address on it (well not my own, I made one up, yano what I mean )

I did text1(B) which was cool cause i want to be n arty person when i'm older so i just wrote about my life practically!:D
and Text2(A) i liked talking about the quotes!

and yes i was annoyed there was no pictures for the short story( think i cursed quietly tbh)
the sly buggers!
think i managed to work a story around '' it was was funny,and sad,too?''

Must make note: eat bigger breakfast, tummy rumbled like mad near the end!:P

Ah lads thank god!!! The second I left the centre I was like "Bo**ocks forget the address on a letter ffs!" At the time it didn't occur to me because, it would go into a time capsule, an post don't hold them for 40 years.

I did Question A on Text 3, Question B on Text 2 and the essay: Isn't that funny, and sad, too?"

For my letter I said, Dear the youths of the future.. didnt really know what to say for the opening! Ohwell. Its done now. It wasnt really what I expected.. thought it would be more general and have pictures aswell for the essay. It was fine though.

It was decent but I only did 2 pages for my article on the essay part didn't get enough time so I feel terrible atm

She was really weird. And what was going on in the end? Her house was on fire and she ran up the drive and inside?! Was it a dream or something?

I nearly had it going to the editor of the irish examiner and was going to say something like "I hope you can publish this letter at some stage in the future" but I changed my mind 'cause it could seem like I misunderstood the Q or something...

Ahaha I mentioned very quickly how the house was ablaze when I was talking about dramatic writing. Hopefully such a quick, small point the examinaer won't notice good thing I didn't write loads on that

I managed to quote Joseph Stalin and Albus Dumbledore. I am satisfied. :cool:

I chose that quote aswel and didn't mention the passage at all, didn't cross my mind. I'm sure it's alright though because it didn't say to refer to the text.

So what did we say was the appeal to Clarisse?
I waffled on about her being a free spirit and, WAIT FOR IT, how in a world devoid of literature she could still read people like a book. Them apples.

I'm pretty doubtful that I passed it. I'm usually better at paper one than two so it's a bit of a disaster. Better start studying for tomorrow

That was a grand paper 1:D
Once I saw "general theme of THE FUTURE" I was pretty happy. It was a pretty handy theme.
I did Question A on Text 3 (Text 3 was the easiest text in my opinion).
I then did Question B on Text 2. My letter was just filled with complete nonense and then I was thinking for about 5 minutes at the end what to put down as the address. LOL
I did my essay on the graduation speech (Question 5)
I found it was the easiest one to talk about. I got 4 good pages on that.

All in all I'm very happy with how it went!:D

So what is everyone hoping will come up tomorrow in paper 2?

The Article on Neighbours
Did anyone else do this for their essay??
I only got just over 3 pages done for it
I did it about what neighbours should do to be a good neighbour but thinking back on it i think now it should have been about how you are a good neighbour already!!:(
Anyone else do it??:)

Mine was a guide to being a good neighbour. You could do it either way really.

did anyone who did the letter to the future ignore the article completely? i wrote about equality, global warming and progression in technology and medicine but looking at the 'planet earth' aspect im a bit worried now that i didnt actually answer the question...

Thats the funniest thing ive heard today never have i seen them 2 in a sentence together

ceol18

actually quite enjoyed that paper! =P text one QB, and text 2 QA , and the "funny but sad" short story. i got to recite off an entire page of an essay i'd prepared so i was happy with that, but it did end up getting a bit far fetched the more i think about it the more i doubt myself, but i can't do anything about it now! TIME FOR PAPER 2 CRAMMING
