I personally think if i get a C i'll be lucky i did amazing opening paragraphs and then just mumbled on about aloud of crap... i even forgot what prejudice was but luckily i started writing about racism, and prejudice is basically similar to that, how bout you guys, think it was hard?
It was ok. I'm pretty sure I should get my B with it.
Seemed alright, hopefully ill get a B
It was fine, it had me wondering when I saw the questions but I managed to come up with good stuff I think. The poem for WJEC was particularly easily.
*** did you get for the meaning of the poem?Quote:

For the poems (Duffy and Armitage) I decided to do the one about "disturbed behaviour" I really can't say how I did on it. I got the points down but maybe could have improved on the structure. Hopefully I'll get the B I need for sixth form :)
Good luck to everyone!
the one about the summers day with the grasshopper?
i put that it was a metaphore of life & the part where it said something like 'it shot its wings open and floated away' i put it was a metaphore for taking a quick desision and getting on with it
i was also sat right at the front it's a good job i took a watch or else i had no time guidelines :|
Oh I did something similar. I said the grasshopper was symbolic of life problems, and when it washed it's face and flew away, the person was moving on from their problems and enjoying the beauty of summer. Some sht like that anyway haha.Quote:

I did the one about prejudice too, lord knows how many times I spelt it wrong though :@. I ended up writing quite a lot about Curleys wife, a sizeable amount about Crookes then a bit just about george n lennie. My poetry was quite hard, but my modern prose or w/e was good.
lol yeah, i couldn't think logically at the time so i just thought if i look into it more than necessary i might get the marksQuote:

oh i also put for the part where it askes you what you liked about the poem that i liked the way the poet started off on a big scale 'who made the earth?' and then went into detail 'the grasshoppe was eating sugar from my palm'
Lol thats deep sht. I just blagged my way through it, sounding proper passionate to try and pick up marks. I was dead after 2 hours though, It was hard.Quote:

i did mice and men and a view from the bridge, i like of mice and man alot more because a view from a bridge is about a masslive family who are all related one way or another really complicated
Make the most of life cause it's short, have no regrets. Some others had religious things but I'll try ask some more slightly intelligent people and see what they put :PQuote:

this is gcse yeh?
anyway i'm sure you've all done okay! :)
I didn't do at all well. It felt as if I spent 1 hour just staring at the paper and nothing else then quickly writing down any crap I could come up with in the remaining time. Very disappointing, but I'm over it. We all have our good and bad days. :P
My friend just sent this to me - it's exactly what the majority of people at my school did today.. :PQuote:
