Happy with Hamlet although I think my phrasing was a bit awkward at times But still I made sure every sentence was relevant to the question so hopefully I got high relevance marks!

Yeah mine was similar to that, it's hard to remember, but yeah the paper wasn't too bad.

Opening the poetry section to see Rich AND Kavanagh just made my life, and I had done an almost identical Literary Genre question last week. Somehow managed to misread the second Hamlet question and thought it was about imagery and symbolism, went back to it after poetry and realised it was corruption. Beaut of a paper, so happy

Soooo happy! Kavanagh's my boy! Hamlet madness question and comparitive went really well, didn't get to answer the unseen as I'd like, we only got until quarter past but besides that could not be happer. Came out of the exam hall and o2 gave me 5 euro free credit as well

i had deadly notes for hamlet's madness. but everytime i opened my book on them i was like nah it won't come up. guess i was wrong. the only quote i used was "fishmonger" and my essay was barely 2 pages

Heaney and plath will make nice kindle tonight

Just curious was Heaney's poems just on for the fun of it? he was put on for this year off next year and back on the year after?
If they were putting him on for one year and not putting him on this years exams what was the point on learning him .

Don't worry, you won't fail. You'll get some marks for whatever you wrote.

for the gvv question one when it said how it is the readers response to a character did ye just use one character or more?

Can you get into university if you fail English? Just wondering because so many people were unhappy with it this year.

Just wondering did anyone else do the 2nd Hamlet question? If so what techniques did ye use?

I had introduction, imagery (and symbolism), soliloquys (mainly Claudius's ones), the weakness of the women, (what a technique :pac:) false appearances, can't remember what else apart from the conclusion!

It's the central character to each play. So that's one character per play, 3 in total.

I only talked about one in each because it said a central character. I briefly mentioned the others but I didn't talk about my attitude towards them.

shefellover93

Asked yer man could I talk about two central characters in the one text (IID), said he couldn't say anything (useless ****) so I had to do the two part question :pac:

If it's readable they'll probably still mark it.

That's soooo risky!!! :eek:

I did the 2 part GV question aswell, think I did it right :L :L Lads in poetry does it matter very much if you missed out a word everynow and then for quotes? I vaguely remembered Rich quotes and looking at book now, I missed like 1 word for some of them

Our examiner gave out the paper while we still had all our notes in front of us, I was about to write down one of the critical quotes I kept forgetting then I realised that was basically cheating >_>

One guys phone fell out of his pocket today, think he absolutely shat himself! I dunno if anything was done about it though, it was off but you're not supposed to bring them in.

How did ye all find English? I actually thought it was a lovely paper, although the GVVP question was a little bit awkward. The unseen poem

Btw, in the comparative I started a new paragraph and wrote like 6 lines, then decided I wanted to change it so I scribbled it all out and started writing under it. It looked so awful and ugly in the middle of the page so I drew a little arrow pointing to it and wrote "sorry about how messy this is!" In hindsight, I kind of regret writing that. Do ye think it was a bad idea?
