If no women come up tomorrow...

Zephyr91

I think I'll laugh. Not spitefully, just...laugh. My plan all along was to learn the 2 women but I chickened out in case this is *the* year, so threw in Yeats and Longley for good measure, lol.

A sausagefest paper 2....The thought scares me.


COME ON BOLAND!

I have a basic knowledge of a few poets, but tonight I'm cramming the two laydeez and Yeats. Fingers crossed!

Lukker-

My feminist side will be awakened if this happens. This can't happen.

Then its fair game by the SEC / DOE. They don't have to put a woman on the paper if they don't want to.

Not really being mean when you think about it...

Mean there is only two women on the course and four come up. The good students will do more than two. So they are fully entitled to leave out the woman poets

Calm down, calm down. I'd like if a woman didn't come up, as I have more poets in my back pocket.

SantryRed

They don't like to change their ways. Guaranteed a woman will come up.

I'm perfectly fine but there is no guidelines that the SEC / DOE have to follow when they are setting the poetry question other than there must be four poets on the paper.

From another thread...

Every year in the last few days before the LC, students start to panic and second-guess the examiners, particularly with regards to prescribed poetry.

Yes, it's far too obvious that Boland will be on the paper, but guess what, it was too obvious that Rich would be up in '08 and Plath in '07 and guess what? They were both up :P Nobody can guarantee anything, but all last-minute worry aside, she is statistically the most likely. There is a female poet on every year, yeah they might go away from that this year but again, chances are they won't. Every other year students thought they'd be the ones to get shafted, it's very unlikely that a female poet won't be on the paper tomorrow.

As for the fact they didn't have a picture-related essay on P1 today for the first time in yonks, i'd say that makes it less likely they'll spring a surprise tomorrow

Hopefully that'll put some of the last minute worriers at ease, don't attack me if i'm wrong! Best of luck!

They couldn't, wouldn't......After the whole mess last year, surely the english dept. in the sec would want a low key, controversy free, year no?:p

Two completely years. Last years controversy is behind the SEC and you saw on the news what new steps they have implemented and are now taking place in exam centres.

Nevermind two women, it better be Boland coming up or I and many others are in massive trouble.

It would be funny if both Boland AND Rich came up, haha, or the question:

"Write a personal discussion on the poet of whoever you want...LOL jk write a question on Kavanagh, bitch!!"

Personally, I reckon we're more likely to get 2 female poets than none

Boland... PLEASE COME UP TOMORROW!

Hang on a second now...

They made a change to something dependable on paper 1 of English - there was no picture question.

They made a change to something dependable on the Home Ec. paper - something to do with Q1 apparently.

Maybe they've changed something on P2? The ever dependable female poet perhaps? :pac:
