Seems like most people did A from Text 1? I did mine from Text 2 and B from Text 1.

Same

Guys for my essay...It was ' talk about a variety of unusual people youve encountered and how they impacted you'

I kind of messed up :-/ It was a peronsal essay and my idea was that i was working in a shop and this weird relgiious preacher came in talking to me trying to convert me blah blah theres a storm we have to stay in storm cellar. I find him annoying and weird but turns out he lost his whole family in a hurricane and I feel bad for him, im impacted in the way that I dont judge people or somthing like that .

But yeah I thought the essay was okay but i only talked about ONE unusual character. How much will I lose for relevance?

Isitthough?

Bishop! Nobody thinks she will but I think she will :P

My handwriting is relatively small, I fit about 9 words on a line. I wrote 3.75 pages for the essay, .75 for each of the comprehension questions and 1.5 for the part B on the 'Talk' about things that influence you people, is that enough, don't feel I did enough, my essay was good though.

Yes, same! Bishop and Yeats (and Heaney...) all the way. I know Bishop so well.

They could pull another incident like Plathgate 2012 and keep Heaney and Dickinson off paper 2

By the sounds of it nobody did part A from text 2

Bit awkward really.

I thought part A text two was the easiest thing on the paper like the two guys had really straightforward opinions it was very easy to write about. Felt more like an irish comperehension

Seemed the easiest to me too. I had started with part A, read it a few times, started answering the questions and was like, errr...no. So then I did this one and loved it, only question that tripped me was part (iii).

Well, I fit 14-16 words per line and wrote 1 page for each comprehension part and 1.5 for the 20 mark part, then 2 pages for the B part formal letter, and 3.75 for my short story :P

OH MY GOD are you sure I just realized I never wrote it down :eek:

Isitthough?

My writing is Horrendous my english teachers going to kill me..But I mean if they expect me to to write that much then its there own fault! give me more time to cross the T's and dot the bloody i's and make my a's look less like e's!

Really? I thought it was an easy question , warner used personal anecdotes and his own experiences to convery his opinion whereas Lanchester was just talking about the developments in videogames, nothing personal so it wasnt as easy to relate to. Idk thats what I said haha fingers crossed

Did the letter to a well known person have to be formal? I wrote it in a semi-formal manner but used the formal layout, is that okay?

CL987

Thank god, was freaking out there!

sarahkiely125

I talked about the recession influencing people negatively, cant go to college etc. - someone tell me this is somewhat correct? As for how people respond to these influences? It is ok to say how people respond, then give a right, positive way to respond?

7jy

okay well, presuming a format of:
Title Publication/Date

Name
Position

was required for the weather article in Section 2, how much will it cost me if I just wrote it like a speech?

Plathgate???

Everybody thought Plath was DEFINITELY COMING UP OMG IT'S 100% CERTAIN. But she didn't. Sounds familiar, not really sure why...

That's exactly what I did. Like the two addresses at the top and then wrote it semi casual.

Jesus 16 words?? I get about 12 words per line and I'd say I have tiny writing. I wrote 1 page for (i) and one page for (ii) and 1.5 for (iii) then wrote 2.5 for part B and 4 for the essay which I didnt really get to finish as much as I would have liked

I actually left out the second address (the recipient's) because I was thinking it wasn't needed seeing that I was only going semi-formal. I made it clear at the end though that I included my contact info at the top so that they could get back to me... I hope that's okay :P

That's pretty much what I said too but it still tripped me a bit, the wording just seemed weird.

Just in a complete mess.

Did the paper.

Answered text one question A on can. Left (iii) unfinished.

Rushed the speech on text two question B. Random speech, floats on and off "P". Short

The composition was the short story. It had no ghost, A story about a girl who is staring in the mirror, she appears to be with someone, but its actually herself, her reflection like. Its a weird one.

If somebody has the time, would they help a distraught girl out, she is panicking that did horribly and she wont even get 100 out of the 200 marks going for paper 1.

Well done on everyone who did well though, you guys deserve it
