English Poets

sikes

just wonderin what poets you guys are doing in english

I am doing

Heaney
Frost
Plath
Mahon

and briefly Hopkins.

I think Heaney will def. come up along with Plath.

I hate english so much just looking for a C and then i will be happy!!

only 6 days agh!

cartman

im just doin plath

if heaney comes up i will pass on him but if plath comes up ill ace it like in d mocks..

dont talk to me bout 6days i cant study im afraid i might fail now:/

cant even learn my regions in Geography..

Ohh heard a tip that France is 99% comin up..

cartman

sikes

i have learned france so hopefully!?

Everyone is tipping plath. The logic behind it is that there are only 2 female on our course. PLath and Bishop

Bishop came up the last two years and they can't be sexist so PLath it is!!

Sundy

well im goin wit 5 to be sure:
Heaney
WB Yeats
Plath
Frost
Hopkins(even though he is a gimp)

nesthead

im just doin yeats and heaney cuz theyre easy, then Plath cuz i heard shes a hot pick for this year

Dont be at yourself

Heaney
Yeats
Plath
Mahon

And some Frost, if I have the time. If Yeats comes up I'm going to squeal with delight.

ferdi

heaney
plath
yeates
mahon(sort of)

to be honest, if heaney or yeates dont come up i'm ****ed

Duffman

-Heaney
-Plath
-Yeats
-Mahon


tbh I need Heaney or Plath... a nice "write a personal response" question perhaps...



Hrm... how many poems by each are you doing?

radiospan

- Heaney
- Yeats
- Frost
- (maybe Hopkins)

We didn't do Plath or Mahon in school, and they seem to be everyones tip. :mad:

I'm doing 7 or 8 Heaney poems and about the same for Yeats.

Picking her just because she is female is of coarse sexist against the men, I doubt the department has that logic.

-mahon
-heaney
-Yeats
-Plath/Frost (not 2 sure about these ones)

honeymonster

Does anyone have any sample answers to the poetry questions please?

PHB

The next cycle is always slow in June, so the department has to pick a woman, otherwise it will be called sexist.
Why?
Thats the way thew orld works

Im doing

Yeats
Heaney
Frost
Mahon
Plath

Im doing 5 perfectly, after getting screwed in the mocks.

Sangre

You honestly think that they will be called sexist if they dont put a woman on the 2003 LC? She is on the course, isnt that enough?

sikes

Put it this way, i would be willing to put €100 on that plath will come up!!

Regards

cartman

Sangre in the new course a chick has to come up every year:)
99%plath will come hopefully itll be a personal response..

PHB

Look, the news cycle is really slowin the month of june.
The last thing the department wants is "ENGLISH PAPER WAS SEXIST" on the front of the sun.
Capice?
Tis the way the world works im afriad.
[I wonder if I spelt that right]

I'm doing;

- Plath
- Heaney
- Frost
- Hopkins

Not gonna get bogged down in it though, poetry is only 50 marks (10+%). You can get half those marks without any quotes, just waffle away.

Anyway, poetry is simple. No matter how many ways they twist it, you can only be asked one question on the day - Your understanding of the poem, and how you came to that understanding!

Im doing:

-Donne (wierd, noone picked him)
-Mahon
-Frost
-Plath
-Heany
-Yeats (Never liked him)

Sangre

Plath might come up, but not because she is a woman.
Bishop came up the last to years anyway.

Are any of you thinking straight? Can you imagine reading the papers.
'English paper was sexist becuase this year a woman didnt come up....(but one did the other years)!'
Pathetic, no one will ever print that, or agree with it.

sikes

Think of the crap the tabloids print. I'd say they would def. mention it.

Come on plath come up!!

Squall

Plath
Yeats
Heaney
Donne

wiensta

Mewzel

Shane

STOP THIS NOW!!!

Does anyone realise how useless this has become? Every poet on the course has been mentioned. So, with this in mind let's announce the most popular, ie. most likely!

1. Plath
2. Heaney
3. Frost
4. Mahon

Now there!

sikes

yeah i think you are right

Plath
Heaney
Mahon
Frost

I reckon 2 maybe 3 of these will come up.only 60 hours to go!!!

sionnach

Im staying away from heaney TOTALLY. I just think too many ppl answer on him. Hopkins and Yeats r my main men.... and i just dont like answering frost questions.........

Celtic Tiger

only 60 hours to go!!!

Ok now I'm panicking lol

PHB

I'd kill anyone of you for a plath personal response essay
