i always write loads. i just make alot of points, rofl. i always get the grade though, so rofl :D

I was supposed to have that exam today but i didn't turn up to it. Basically becuase I had only 3/5 pieces of courswork in and the teacher said i would fail even if i tried, so yeah.

I think I did awful in it, I was dreading it though so meh. I did question 7 on Of Mice & Men and the 27th one for poems. The 27th one was about personal opinion, both were so yay. :P

I did question 5 on Lord of the Flies

What is the significance of the 'beast' in the Lord of the Flies'

And I think it was question 22 on the poetry.

Compare the way death is presented. I had to pick 2 poems for 2 lists. I picked Clarkes Cold Knapp Lake, and Heaneys Mid-Term break and for pre-1914 I did The Affliction of Margret and On my first Sonne

I ****** up big time, I did the Of mice and men quiet good, but the poetry, i ****** up, i did the last question possible, 25 or 26 i think, and it sucked..

I also did question 25a) I had to compare ''On my first sonne'' and a poem of my choice from Duffy, so I picked ''Before you were mine'' and had to compare how the author made us feel sympathetic for the speaker.

and b)Had to compare two poems of my choice (One from pre-1914 and Armitage) so I picked ''The Laboratory'' and ''Hitcher'' to compare how the speakers make the reader feel disturbed.

I can't stand questions where you have to compare all four poems at once.

same
for q.3 i done Flight+Chemistry, they're like the only ones that i know well enough. done about 2 and a half pages for that
for 25 a) i done on my first sonne, and education for leisure, and in b) i done hitcher + my last duchess. i done about a page and a bit for that
im screwed so bad, i hardly did any for the poetry comparisons. im not allowed to retake it next year either, coz my teacher put me down for not being allowed coz i wouldnt do any work in class/revision.
tbh i didnt care that much

A year on and you still have to read that ****** poetry "/

I hope when I have kids they get given better poetry to read than that utter *****

i think were the last year to do that poetry

but theyre changing the syllabus with more, different poetry

I did Of Mice and Men second question, and 25 (a) and 25 (b) Comparing On my First Sonne and Anne Hathaway for the first part of the question, and comparing My Last Duchess and Hitcher for the second part

I found it really easy, much easier than I thought it would be

I done question 7 (Of Mice and Men) then question 20 a.


I done the wrong poems though...
