Leaving Cert '11/'12 Off-Topic 2

It depends if it's a requirement for your course or not. Mine all require c3 some a pass but mine are all computer-business related courses. I don't think arts maybe social courses would need maths :S.

I would talk about each individually have a few quotes from them and basically ''translate'' what he is saying.

''O, that this too too solid flesh would melt thaw and resolve itself into a dew!'' Hamlet wished that his body would just melt, turn to water and become like the dew, he contemplates suicide blablabla

But would that not end up being a kind of summary?

You can do it that way, but don't just summarise. Mention the effects it has on him. Important to mention how the play and plot is affected.

This might be a stupid question... But did Rosencrantz and Guildenstern know that they were bringing Hamlet to be killed?

Time, like can you stay an extra 20 minutes at the end? I think I imagined this...

You can get assigned extra time if you have the provisions for it do you not?

I hope a letter does come up... I ****ed up the letter format yesterday, and I want to show the examiner that I CAN do it correctly :L

Ugh a letter would be disgusting. You'd have to write it like "You used this and that in this poem" and it'd almost sound condescending, as if they dont know their own work. :pac:

No. But Hamlet decides to get them killed anyway because they shouldn't have got themselves mixed up in the business.

imelle

don't worry if you fecked up the letter format yesterday, my sister is an english teacher and said the most you'll loose is like 4 marks for it needless to say she wasn't impressed when i told her i effed it up :P

Apparently Yeats is coming up in the poetry. Some guy that got 600 tipped him. He can go **** himself if Yeats comes up. Doubt he works for the state examination commission.

you mightn't even lose them because they just wrote a letter they didn't say formal so we can interpret it as any kinda letter i think

I think you're getting it from the 'extended time' thing. The exam is 2pm until 5.20pm, that's the absolute set time and you have to finish at 5.20. The reason they mention the 20 minutes on the exam timetable is because traditionally the paper was only three hours and is now 3 hours 20 minutes. But it definitely finishes at 5.20!

**** having a bad english teacher >.< I already got an A on this paper, don't have any idea why I'm redoing it.
