I think I may actually do Larkin if he appears. Spent the last 30 mins looking at him. Not much time left now for Hamlet or the comparative.

What do you guys talk about for Theme and Issue?

Friendship, hoping for GV though. Only done Plath and Rich, should I look over Frost or Kavangh(not doing Boland, hate her)? Havent even looked at single text yet, Dancing at Lughnasa

I've literally spent the whole morning waiting for it to be time to have lunch because I decided yesterday that I'd have pasta before this exam, and I feckin' love pasta. :P It's still not time to have lunch.

The Theme of Dreams

Had an epic dream last night. (Hahaha my autocorrect changed that to 'I had an epic freak lady last night.' Oh god. :pac:)

If a question on procrastination comes up just leave it blank.
It's a trick question.

Fantastic.
But conscience makes cowards of us all, and some maybe inclined to write something!
Outrageous if they do. Clearly the examiner wanted you to recreate procrastination.

Anyone ****ting it that ovenhead may not come up, and we'll have to answer on Heaney?

Eathrin

If neither Larry or Plant (Thanks autocorrect, your poets are funnier) come up I'll punch my examiner.

Mysteriouschic

General vision better come up. I could manage theme or issue with friendship but I know GV so much better I know how many miles really well and inside come dancing and Lughnasa so I could probably think of something I just need to remember the format.

cocopopsxx

One of rich, larkin or Plath have to come up, they can't be that cruel to students!

Joey.

I have no idea what I'm doing. Paper 2 scares the bejesus outta me

Togepi

Heaney, Plath, Larkin, Kinsella or Rich

will be on the paper.

reznov

Guys I just received that confirmation that Yeats is definitely a guaranteed poet. :cool:

I've just spent three hours at Hamlet, (3 last night too) I'm surprised how well I remember it and how many quotes I know
Comparative, I'm fairly sound. + I know quotes.
IT's just poetry. I know Heaney and PLath, I'm going to do and hour and a half on Kavanagh now a s a back up.

Mysteriouschic

Both Boland and Plath will be on the paper I reckon .

Meowth

So 1 and a half poets looked over not learnt may I add one mode in comparative done and hamlet not looked at I'm kinda gettin worried bout my prospects

I think it'll be Boland OR Rich but not Plath. Wishful thinking. :cool:

Cruel Sun

Can you imagine this forum if Plath doesn't come up, It would shut it down.

Ok lads just been on the phone to my sis and she promises me she only crammed a little before English and she got an A1 so hope for us all ?

Can we all just agree to leave poetry blank if Plath doesn't come up?
I mean if everybody in the country did it, 'twould be grand...

Sure why not, if you've studied for two years
Apparently yesterday's paper one was the hardest in several years of examination.

I'm in.

FaoiSin

Just look over Heaney! Even if he doesn't come up his poetry's fairly amusing.

Eathrin

I think 30 mins GVV and I'm done,
Kinda know Plant and Larry
Kinda know women and deception in Hamlet (Actually I know his character quite well so fingers crossed)
Only kinda know GVV

leaveiton

Dunno about the rest of the country but it's a miserable, rainy day in Dublin at the moment.

Perfect Plath weather, it's a sign.

I'VE LEARNED THE NAMES OF 3 PLATH POEMS! AM I COVERED???
