which would you say is the more prominent theme in macbeth deception or appearance vs reality? can't decide which one to learn!

I was doing appearance vs. reality today and half way through I realised that answer could be manipulated and used for deception, they're very similar

hiiiisam

The poets we covered are Plath, Rich, Bishop, Shakespeare and Mahon. Which ones would be my safest bet? We haven't done Hopkins or Kinsella.

Oh my god Iaughed so hard at this. Defo gonna include it if I can't think of anything else to say hahah

I incorporated humour into an essay on Banquo and got an A2. My teacher said he would encourage it in your opening but not too much as it looks like you're not taking your task seriously.

No unfortunatley you dont get any marks for this, but it is a much better idea than free-writing as you can always revert back to the plan if you get stuck in the middle of it or are running out of timing

If a diary entry was to come for Question B, how long should it be? I'm thinking not that long but how are you meant to get 50 marks for it??

It's usually multiple diary entries you have to do like 2 or 3. Do about a page each for each entry and you'll be grand

So here we are my friends. The time has stumbled upon us. 48 hours from here, there will either be outraged, upset users plaguing this thread giving out that Plath or Mahon didn't come up (me!!!) or users delighted because they did come up but have moved along and want to discover what lies beneath the Irish papers. Some will wait for Eoin Jackson's predictions but some will refuse to watch his videos for dignities sake (me!!!). Wherever you lie in this divide please just make sure you do your best. Exams are not the most important things in life. And I have learned this. My uncle had a fall on Friday and is on a ventilator and mightn't see day again and made me realize not to stress about the LC.. It is not a matter of life and death. Good luck to you all anyways and I hope you all do well

This is so true! Not the end of the world guys. Sorry to hear about your uncle too, hope everything is okay for him

Before I go I just want to wish everyone the best of luck! All that can be done is your best, and remember, regardless of how much you know, there is only so much you can physically write in a 3 hour exam. Keep calm and think of the sessions! Good luck, and I hope you all get what you're looking for

Good luck today. You have 2 hours, prepare a couple of ideas for the short story /article/essay, I have my dream story that I want to write, I hope it comes up!

Copper Nikus.

That was the worst Paper I I've ever done in my life. -_- I wrote such an absolute heap of bollocks. Oh well, off to cram for Paper II I suppose.

state examinations people... please continue with nice papers. Apart from the B's questions being a little daunting (no letter or diary entry) I think it was a really nice paper.

I agree. Here's hoping they continue with that trend or else many tears will be shed in the exam hall when Bishop, Plath or Mahon don't appear !

So what did ye think of the paper guys ? My teacher reckons it was the worst she's seen in a while ! Had to do the talk for Q.b but it didnt turn out too bad Did Q.A on text 2 was tricky enough and did the reunion short story Pleased enough but could have went better !!

SecondMan

I thought the paper went good. Although the question A's were just very exhausting. I done the talk on roles of television and radio, and although there really was a limited amount I could talk about (relaxation of music, news to inform them of what's going on, watching TV is an ideal way to reduce stress, good to watch TV or listen to radio to get a break from study). For section 2 I done the speech and disagreed with it. I spoke about heroes such as: Donal Walsh, Alex Ferguson, Praveen Halapanavaar (Savitta's husband), cop who was shot by Boston bombers , and the last paragraph on just people in general) I felt it went good. *fingers crossed*

well paper 1 wasnt so bad. anyone got any ideas what could be coming up on paper 2?x

Can someone please tell me for regional geography when you have to draw a map of let's say the Paris Basin/ Mezzogiornio or Brazil, do you have to draw it on graph paper or is it okay to draw in answer booklet? I know we have to draw sketch map on graph paper but what about regional maps?

Booklet is fine Just have Italy at a slight angle when your drawing it to get the marks for it!
