A pomegranate is the same shape as a pokeball.
I feel that Boland uses the pomegranate as a link from one of her loves (poetry) to another past time of hers (pokemon)
Pokemon was developed in .......

This could work.

He/She can freely express an opinion as long as it is within the rules. Which it is.
Yes Boland is strongly tipped for this year, but i wouldnt but all of your eggs in one basket.

LifesaverNiall

Wordsworth *fingers crossed..

if all else fails i could scrap a few pages on frost

AG2R

I bloody hope its not boland ¬¬ Can't stand her

I'd suggest at this stage a minimum of 3 poets. My eggs are in the female basket along with Frost

i got all my eggs in one basket tho

implausible

You've already started a thread about her, we all know she's the only poet you've studied. Go and study!

I only learnt Boland so if she doesn't come up then I won't be able to answer the poetry question. I know Kavanagh and Rich but they won't come up so all my faith is in Boland coming up.

MikeHough

hey out of: shadow doll and the famine road what are the public and private themes in them
i.e is marriage considered a private theme but is suppression of women a public theme???

thanks

I remember a lot of my fellow students were so confident that she would come up last year, they only studied her for the poetry. Met some o them after the exam, they were so pale because she didn't come up. The other female poet came up. At least ye lads didn't have to study Elliot :P.

Boland was tipped for last year and didn't make an appearance, there were lots of tears back then too.

Boland was more than tipped for last year. She's the reason many people are repeating the LC this time around. I just hope people have learned from last year but it doesn't seem to be the case (on here and from talking to friends doing it).

Really? I doubt that many people were banking so heavily on one poet that it would cost them their college course. Every year it happens that something doesn't come up that's tipped, last year certainly wasn't first and won't be the last. It's not like I'm saying don't rely on predictions, I certainly relied on them to some extent last year, but studying one poet only is madness. Boland wasn't the only tipped poet last year, Yeats, Kavanagh, Elliot and Boland were the tipped poets, and 3 of them came up, so those who had their performance worsened by there not being Boland on the paper probably only studied one poet, which considering there's 8, is far from sensible.

Well, last year in Yeats the english teacher in there told everyone that she was 99% sure that Boland was coming up. I personally know a few that left the english exam before an hour went, and as a result didn't get their first choice. If doesn't just affect your poetry question, it would throw off your whole paper.
