    Plant WILL be on the paper. The hours I've spent learning stairway to heaven quotes just can't go to waste. :(

    reznov, i've like 17-19 quotes learnt off for Larkin on 4 poems, do you think i'd be alright if he came up? I've done Wedding Wind, At Grass, Ambulances and The Explosion.

    Which 4 do you think will make an appearance today?

    17 - 19 quotes and you're asking if you'd be alright?

    Are they on a variety of themes? Make sure they are multipurpose. I have about 3 learned off for each poem.

    I suggest knowing 5 but you'll be fine with 4. Just mention the titles of the other poems somewhere.

    Hamlet: Know a truckload of quotes.

    Guys should you be okay for any question on a poet if you know 6 poems by them, no matter what 6 poems? Like for Rich the word that often springs to mind is 'feminism' but we only really did 1 poem by her that shows feminism, while other classes may have done 3-4 that show it

    Thats the thing, we've only done Aunt Jennifer's Tigers, other classes have done them :( We've got stuff like Storm Warnings and The Uncle, so if a question just about feminism came up I'd be screwed

    I once argued that the uncle is sexist but went overboard but you could mention it in passing. Tbh if it asks "if Rich sexist" just say no and argue your point with your own poems - its perfectly valid.

    Dreading, dreading, dreading these Hamlet questions more than anything ever.

    That would actually be handy, say that she shows signs of it in Anut Jennifer, but not in the rest and rattle off everything else :P Examiner would probably pick up that you didn't study the feminist poems then :P

    Cannot wait to see the Ham question. The only interesting aspect of the whole pointless course.

    The evil side of me is hoping that Plath doesn't come up just so I can see all the people in my year have a mental breakdown. :rolleyes:
