    Dia duit, was just wondering for the léamhthuiscint ceisteanna where you have to say what literary genre the extract belongs to, what are you supposed to say to back up your points?

    Also are you allowed to quote from the text?

    Go raibh míle maith agaibh.

    Yep, just don't write out big chunks from it. Point, quote and explain is what we were told at least :)

    Not entirely sure what you're asking.... but ill have a shot at answering you anyway :P

    Make sure you know names of literary genres:
    Stíl tuairisciúil- descriptive
    Léirmheastach- critical
    Stairiúil- historical
    Stíl inste- narrative
    Stíl irise- journalistic
    Beathaisnéiseach- biographical

    You might start off an answer this:
    Is píosa stairiúil an píosa seo go ginearálta. Tá seo soléir ó na tagairtí do chúrsaí staire, ar nós...<quote>...

    Is that what you were asking or...?

    Cheers :) it depends on the genre I suppose, I'd probably mention the author's use of facts and statistics in the extract shows they have done research if its a journalistic piece... But that might even being going into to much detail for a question that only worth one percent of your overall result!
