What gambles are you taking?

DB10

Here is mine...:rolleyes::(

Poetry : Boland, tiny bit of Yeats

Lear: Just go with it. Might learn a few essays now.

Comparitive: GV+V

Unseen: Look over it tomorrow.

So how screwed am I and what about the rest of ye?

You could be spot on or you got be absolutly ****ed!!!:o....I'm doing Bolan,Kav,Longley and riche(just a back up in worst case scenario).I'm also just kinda wingin it for Lear.I've learned loads of quotes and going to watch Lear now and I have prepared His character question and Good vs Evil.Kinda sketchy on the comparative,always have been.Doing GV+V and a little bit of CC(also just a back up).

RetroRainbow

Definitely taking a gamble with the poetry. But as someone said earlier on, it's only about 12.5% of the total paper.

Mwah

you're like me.... lol
ive learned so much for eavan boland she cant not come up!!!
ive read over my lear notes but not quotes.... and im just doing gv+vp
for lear urgg done nature love as a redemptive force and lear as a character

Indigo Sunrise

Literary genre
Eliot and Yeats
And these aren't very well done either.

For Lear I'm just learning a few quotes on Lear.

gleoite

im about the same just about know yeats a tiny tiiiiiny TINY bit of kavanagh if yeats doesnt come up..

Gv.v if that doesn't come up........oh god

and lear i can rattle off stuff about the power of imagery and the point of the sub plot.

honestly if yeats and gv.v dont come up.. i will cry hysterically. :eek:

IrishKev

Taking a gamble with the poetry, just learning Boland and Rich and hoping they stick to at least one female poet.
Lear, like the OP I'm just hoping I'll know how to answer it tbh, kinda screwed for that.
GV+V and Cultural Context for Comparitive, I find GV+V away easier than the rest of paper 2 really, I just discuss Setting, Opening, Key Relationships, Societies and Endings, which takes up 4-5 pages. Just adapt it around the question and it works IMO.

MilesReilly

Poet : Kavanagh know like 3 poems well, few others vaguely, I can bull**** well with Paddy K

General vision and viewpoint: which ive never done before, gonna have to pull out some magic tricks here

Lear: I know it ok..

funny to think that I'm not worried, whats the point?!
I know I'll pass and I'm off to art college next year I just need 2 higher C's and 4D's

Good luck everyone!

I suppose it all boils down to your grasp of the texts you're doing! If you've an in depth knowledge, then GV+V is a breeze. In before someone saying that, of course, we're supposed to have an in depth knowledge of the texts.

Pretty much exact same, but nothing on Yeats. And I'm gonna do my best to wing King Lear, won't look at unseen.

lalee17

Boland.. Small bit of Kavanagh learned..

Hopefully GV & V will come up too, or I'm screwed...

Lear is grand for me though, I think.

Professional Griefer

Imagine this. Out of no where Boland just happened to come onto these forums, or any of the other poets who are still alive, and look into one of these threads, and then they see loads of studying only studying them for their LC, that must feel pretty cool....

''If I come up, they're sorted''.

Weird, just thought of it there, ha:P

ciano1

Less than 2% fail HL English. If you have at least a basic knowledge of the texts you should be ok, even if you do no study. Well that's what I'm hoping

shyte, everyone seems to be doing GVV and CC.. not LG !

i know LG ! i like LG ! i can do LG

You'll be grand seriously. I know about the same. Need to go over something for Lear tomorrow and get a few quotes maybe. Make sure you know Lears character! I wouldn't be surprised to see that tomorrow.

Seloth

Longely and Kav are my favs,With a bitta Boland and Myabe Yeats.

GV+V and Cul Cont

For lear,Just learning quotes,But a good few Fool ones.

WallyGUFC

Heard of a dislexic guy who left out all poetry and got a C2...if you have any knowledge of the texts you'll be grand!:P

For comparative is there not 2 choices?

So Literary Genre and CC or GVV. The last two are essentially the same so I just realised why am I worrying so much especially since LG is the only really tough one.

Seriously s***ting it for quotes though...Do you think 3 pages on Lear and poet would be enough?

I'm doing LG but also CC. I don't like GVV so I'm not bothering with it.

Enid.

Poetry: Boland, Longley and Yeats (feel a bit freaked out about that, I'm thinking of doing bullet points on Kavanagh tomorrow)
Comparative: GV+V and LG
Lear: I have all the bits of their characters done from before, a bundle of essay notes to read and my quotes flashcards to go over. I'm not so sure about it...
Unseen: Reading the back of my Poetry Now and leaving it at that.

RetroRainbow

Totally apt FB group for this thread. I'll give it another half hour or so before the member numbers rise to a hundred or so.

Moshimoshi

I'm doing Eliot and LG. I'm trying to hit a balance between just crazy enough to work/too crazy to work.

Da Shins Kelly

I'm going with Kavanagh and Yeats. Really hoping for Yeats. I'm leaving out both of the women. I hate them, so there's no way I'd write on them even if I could.

Yeats, Yeats, Yeats!!

For the win.

Oh snap. Let's hope it works out. Either way I'm sure my BSing skills will be put to great use tomorrow

dannydfc
