And the terrified student drew another inscrutable house :pac:

Do you think I'll be covered with this or is this too big a risk? Mahon, Bishop and Plath with Cultural Context and Theme: Identity. Think I might do Shakespeare in the morning but only if I have to.

Lcstudent2013

Mahon, theme or issue and ambition of macbeth!
Wohoooo

Yep haha, spot on there have done zero study for them as of yet so a busy day ahead after my lunch :cool:

Prodigious

Grand for the comparative, not too bad for Macbeth. For poetry I've half covered Hopkins, Shakespeare and Plath.

The thoughts of facing this tomorrow :eek:

Looking forward to tomorrow a bit more now after paper 1. Just realised how much of a waffle fest it was, at least paper 2 has some structure to it and can feel prepared from studying.

Dropping No Eaves

Screw your courage to the sticking place and we'll not fail!

Prodigious

No worst there is none.

Those are the two I'm hoping for!

I'd be laughing if literary genre came up with 'how a good story is told' as a follow on from paper 1 but I know they're not linked

Chabals Beard

Dunno how people are so confident Mahon will come up.. I am covering Kinsella and Hopkins just in case

ray2012

I'm hoping Shakespeare/Hopkins will come up. Have Bishop and Mahon prepared also however, but just not as well.

Equil

Super confident with Macbeth. Comparative needs a bit of work.
Hoping for Mahon, Plath or Wordsworth

How would you even write a full essay on banquo?! Sounds impossible to me! :eek:

Cultural context better come up.

Monsieur Folie

Lads, have no fear, I was reading through Derek Mahon just there with the iPod on shuffle to keep me company and this came on:

"It's coming up, it's coming up, it's coming up..."

Has to be divine intervention, right?

peekachoo

Theme/issue, Bishop/Shakespeare, character question on Macbeth himself - bliss

Realistically it would be a question on the minor characters in Macbeth, so you would be doing Banquo and Macduff, not just Banquo by himself.

Someone posted an essay they wrote on Banquo about a week ago, I de-constructed it and built it back up for the A1 :cool:

It does seem pretty tough though, you should try planning one now because I definitely wouldn't have been able to think it up on the day.

Realistically it won't. Macduff is a one-dimensional character, Banquo isn't at all.

I'm doing those 3 too, do you think theme is good to write about? I havent revised theme/issue yet .. wondering if I should bother :P

Did Kingship not come up in an indirect manner in 2009?

I have all the past questions typed in the Macbeth thread, Banquo has come up before.

Moromaster

(I understand that there is nothing for certain, but I'm running out of time).

I know Plath and Wordsworth entirely, I've read Plath's book and know 7 poems by heart, learned Tintern Abby by Wordsworth.

I'm starting on Bishop. I'm thinking of avoiding Rich and Kinsella? Wise?
