Ugh I agree that home ec question one was really odd, and the social elective was sooo random

Macbeth+LadyMacbeth, Macbeth+Banquo,
Macduff+Macbeth, Macbeth+Duncan. They're the biggest relationships I can think of.

I called it from the start, knew Heaney would be on paper 1! What does this mean for tomorrow though? :P

Who knows?

Apart from the paper setters.

It's still a complete guessing game.

there's no way in hell heaney will come up tomorrow since he was on paper one

Maybe he won't, maybe he will.

There's no way in hell that you can predict that. The SEC could easily fool us twice and put him on tomorrow. All poets have a 1/8 chance of coming up.

Exactly, there's no making a fool of you involved, you know that four out of the eight poets will be up and that's exactly what will happen.

Mahon for two in a row :cool:

If Dickinson or Yeats don't show I will promptly rip the paper to shreds

That will probably render answering the rest of the questions on MacBeth etc. just a tad difficult!

I'll make sure to answer the prescribed poetry last then!

So I know Dickinson really well, Heaney quite well and Larkin a bit.

Say Dickinson and Larkin came up but the Dickinson question was extremely difficult and I wasn't 100% sure what they were asking...would it be better to go ahead with the Dickinson question since I know a lot more material or try and write a couple of pages of waffle on Larkin?

peanut.lover22

I'd say stick to what you know best, you can easily manipulate your knowledge of Dickinson to suit whatever question comes up on her.

It really depends what you know on Larkin. I would say today, go for 4-5 of your best poems by him. Learn some key details, only the basic ideas. The key with the poetry q, is to be concise and meticulous. Don't scribble down everything you know on Dickinson, only use material which is relevant to the q. If you are able to cut down on Dickinson's material in the exam, go for it, but only if the q suits.

whaaaaaay 3 out of 4 poets that I learned came up ! ^.^

sneaky Heaney again

Lollipop95

Philip Larkin is the man for the job so happy to see his name, didn't know Plath although had a feeling she might appear but I studied Larkin,Mahon,Heaney and Bishop. Larkin was the one I was praying for our class never did Dickinson or Yeats! Macbeth question was decent enough and thrilled cultural context came up! Also lol at Heaney sneaking into paper 2 again on the unseen

Failure on the part of the teacher Dickinson and Yeats are two of the best poets in the history of the English language!

That was a wonderful paper! It was unfortunate I didn't do as well I could have in the comparative section. Had no more time. Really need to check my time management in my following subjects.
