That paper was suprisingly Doable! No nasty tricks played by bringing up last years stuff, nearly all the expectations were up except for an Toileáin
Can't say anything regarding an Triail seeing as we do Madhaic Dainín but the questions for that were VERY broad and very fair.0 -

I had a feeling it had something to do with the contrast between the two characters, I basically talked about Pádraig and how he fooled her and then abaondoned her and that he was cruel, and that Mailí was nice and was one of the only people who bothered helping Máire when she lost everything. I hope I did it rightBallerinaBabe wrote: »the first one! i did a good answer like i just found it hard to know exactly what they wanted? how did you answer it?
Google Translate spat this out at me:
"The personalities of Pádraig and Mailí in the play "The Trial" show conflicting sides of life Máire lived."
Hope I did it okay
Only question I think I snuffed it on was the Cearrbhach question about pity for him. I answered it, but I just couldn't remember the particular words used to describe the story so I had to run around in circles a bit to get through it. Only worth 15 marks maximum so not too bad. I answered everything as comprehensively as I could 0 -

oh my god if that's it i'll be delighted that's exactly what i answered! i just got a fright when i came out and someone told me i was meant to write all about the way that Padraig and Maili lived their lives, ie. catholic schoolteacher/prostitute. pheeeeewww. really banking on the A1 in irish! hope it'll work out for you!
EDIT: oh and thanks for the translation! 0 -

"The main Conflict put foreward in An Triail was big for the life in ireland at the time.
Discuss this statement.
Did 4 1/2 pages. Paragraph on how their family looked at her being pregnant.
The 'washing rooms' in how she is looked at as bad as all the 'striapachs there'
Padraigs attidude when he is confronted by her.
Then wrapped these all up as a generalisation for people of irelands basic view of her being pregnant.
Shiiiiiiiiizer.. If you're right (which you probably are) then I'm fo0ked.. I took it up as
"The main conflicts in An Triail add a lot to our understanding of life in Ireland the time it was written"
Aside from An Triail I had to bluff the Cearrbhach question but most of the rest was ok.. Not great to be honest
I couldnt remember a THING for "ogham" but knew Aisling Pholatiuil really well so just drew a wee picture of the writing that I remembered and wrote "Seo é ogham"

I took it as the same thing!!! Thank god someone else did, i was having a heartattack there!! Ah don't worry my ogham was even worse, I'm jealous of your brainwave to draw a picture. I only started stair in the last 10 minutes and really hadn'y gotten round to studying it so I basically made stuff up!0 -

I just said a paragraph on Maili's background, and a paragraph on Padraigs, then I discussed how Padraig had drove Maire to kill herself whereas Maili was one of the only ones who helped her and prayed for her.
Hope this picks me up some marks even if it wasnt exactly what they were looking for
The answer for my Cearrbhac question was about 5 lines - I didnt study it , I banked on fairly much everything else.
At least the Stair came up for me and the poetry, so I'm hoping I scrape a C on this paper.0 -

The luckiest paper I've done so far, I'm delighted with it Literally the only Stair I knew was Fiannaíocht, Ruraíocht, Ogham, and the Aisling. Pretty lucky on that count! Couldn't have chosen better poems and the Maidhc Q was pretty fair, even my very rudimentary knowledge of the book was enough to get 2.5 pages out so that'll do me
So glad it's oooooooooover!

I'm almost certain that's what the Triail question meant. If it didn't....well I'm in trouble
That was a good idea for Ogham...I couldn't remember the words for vowels and consonants so I just said that it was a mode of writing, they wrote on stones, they used the celtic language and there are more than a 1000 stones in the country now. I don't know if that's true or not.0 -

The question means ; "The main conflicts in the play, add to our understanding of life in Ireland at the time it(the play) was written". 0 -
