[GirlNextDoor15]

I'm a Literature In English student. Will be having my final exam next Monday and this exam is very very very important to me. My school has 250+ students my age and I'm the ONLY ONE taking this exam. So, exercises for this subject is very limited to me and I can't even find revision books for this subject. I didn't even have a teacher for this and I'm studying all by my own. Well, the paper is 'closed paper', according to them. So, yeah. I need your help to give me any Literature In English related question.. anything.. no matter it's about the language style or whatever you could think of. I need to give myself a test, answer your questions and see if I'm prepared enough to answer the questions. Oh and below are what I'm studying currently.

For the poems, do you mean questions such as;

Poem 1) - Why does Neruda often use a theme of 'darkness/night' in this poem?
Poem 2) - What is the poet discussing in his poem? (e.g. A wave, a person, a cat etc.)

Or

Poem 3) - What is a sonnet

?

Q's for Poem 1:

A) What do you think has happened to 'his lover' (e.g. Death, Break-up), use evidence to support your reasons.
B) Why does Neruda use arecurringtheme of darkness/night in the poem?
C) Why do you think the poet has set out the poem in that structure?
D) "Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer" - Discuss everything you can about this one line.

Q's for poem 2;

A) What is the poet talking about?
B) Why is the rhyming pattern organised rather unusually, e.g.;

May she be granted beauty and yet not
Beauty to make a stranger's eye distraught,
Or hers before a looking-glass, for such,
Being made beautiful overmuch,
(Here is where it changes) --- Consider beauty a sufficient end,
Lose natural kindness and maybe
The heart-revealing intimacy
That chooses right, and never find a friend.

C) Why does the poem often refer to a 'horn' on 'plenty's horn'
D) Why is nature a recurring theme in the poem? - use evidence to support your ideas.

Q's for poem 3:

A) What is a sonnet?

B) Why do you think the poet has used the line "I shall but love thee better after death." and what message is this trying to convey.
C) "I love thee with a love I seemed to lose" - What is suggesting about the relationship between the 2 lovers?
D) What year was this poem wrote? haha :P

I only read holes yearss and yearss ago, I don't remember it that well and I haven't read those short stories - I can only really help on poems!
