    So paper 2 is up tomorrow and I am confused with it because I dropped down around 2 months ago... I asked my teacher can I use what ive studied in honours for the comparitive and she said yes.. I studied Sive, HMMTB and Im not scared , although when i look at my revision book for 2014 im not scared is not to be found anywhere?? So whats the story can I write about it and Sive because i'm much more familiar with Im not scared than How Many Miles To Babylon ? Feel like an awful dose asking this the night before ! Any help would be appreciated!!

    Yes you can write about 'I'm not scared' and 'Sive' . This 2014 syllabus can be downloaded from www dot education dot ie. The texts are the same for the comparative for higher and ordinary but the comparative modes are different. So you'll be doing 1. relationships 2. social setting 3. theme

    I only dropped down to ordinary level today, I do I'm not scared, how many miles to Babylon and sive, I dunno what to write for the comparative? If theme comes up can I talk about marginalisation? is abuse of power a relationship or theme?

    relationship and theme came up for the comparative. Seamus heany and Plath came up for the poetry. handy paper. Macbeth questions were handy. a question on lady Macbeth came up you had to write it she was ambitious,evil, or loving. And a few other Q's
