Paper Two English Predictions

Should have been plenty to write about from those two.Prufrock and Preludes
Aunt Helen wouldn't really have been relevant, though it's a favourite of mine; such a simple poem, and yet such a vivid picture and ambience is portrayed.
Oh, hell, just because I can!!
Miss Helen Slingsby was my maiden aunt,
And lived in a small house near a fashionable square
Cared for by servants to the number of four.
Now when she died there was silence in heaven
And silence at her end of the street.
The shutters were drawn and the undertaker wiped his feet--
He was aware that this sort of thing had occurred before.
The dogs were handsomely provided for,
But shortly afterwards the parrot died too.
The Dresden clock continued ticking on the mantelpiece,
And the footman sat upon the dining-table
Holding the second housemaid on his knees ...
Who had always been so careful while her mistress lived.0 -

I did Prufrock and A Game of Chess but then was scared that I hadn't analysed 3 so did a page on Aunt Helen at the end of the essay. Nearly took away from my in depth analysis of the other two I felt. Aunt Helen was just a brief summary and a few key quotes. I only did two in the mocks and got 46/50 but I was nervous yesterday because our teacher marked the mocks so I wasn't sure that two would be ok because I need as many points as I can get.0 -
