a lot of people are saying its gonna be rhapsody. Do u think prufrcok can be asekd for since yes its easy and a lot of peoel tend to write about it more so surely they dont wanna torture us right

im predicting it’s going to be rhapsody for that exact reason

 

[tropics...]

frick guys i actually dont have anything of rhapsody because i genuinely hate that one!

just memorise like 3 short quotes and context and u should be fine

 

[tropics...]

ALL. ALL useful except for Rhapsody on a Windy Night... all convey different things, social convention, urban life, post war and disillusion, revelation and spirituality

i feel like imma skip hollow men js cos its been asked twice-thirce in the last decade

 

[quokka]

yeah so what stupid mod deleted the trial paper i uploaded

 

[quokka]

is it illegal to upload a trial paper even though it gives you the option

 

[bustygint]

its arguably the most versatile of the poems and it can be adapted into lots of arguments... if the question specifies something about spirituality, or the extract is from Magi, how will you build argument????

honestly out of all the poems you cld skip this ones such a risk like i think its a rlly good transition out of prufrock/preludes/rhapsody and into magi... since theres a high chance of mod being an extract (and magi being the most contextually significant poem) you cld build a much stronger argument if you talk ab his past ideas of pseudo salvation in hollow men. then again, totally up to you but i feel like youd be missing a big piece of eliots context if you dont prep it

I did that for trials and guess what it asked for that poem and one other

what did u do

 

[vanaaa25]

what did u do

I had one paragraph with the poem they told me to do and one other. but the rest of the essay was two poems without the one they told me to do if that makes sense? so yeah i was basicalaly writing the wrong essay but i still somehow got 18/20

 

[99.95dreams]

wait so u didnt reference the poem they prescribed and still go 18/20?? ive never heard of that lol. are u sure they didn't say 'choose one of these poems to reflect upon in ur answer' or smth

I did refrence the poem but only in one para. they said do Ladybird and ONE other poem. my essay was body 1: aquarius and radiance, body 2: ladybird and radiance and 3rd body was again aquarius and radiance. so i only had 2 quotes from ladybird in my entire essay

 

[99.95dreams]

ohhh ok so you still mentioned it, i thought you didn't do so at all hahah

 

[vanaaa25]

I’ve revised my Mod A essay so that women appear in each paragraph at least once or twice. However, if a question specifically focused on gender (which seems unlikely), would my essay still work even if women aren’t the central focus throughout?

I was thinking of framing Richard’s rise to power and his illegitimacy as reflective of patriarchal structures in the Elizabethan era, especially through the Great Chain of Being, to connect masculine and feminine portrayals of power. Would that still meet the expectations for a gender-based question?

I CANT DO IT ANYMORE ENGLISH IS IN 2 DAYS

 

[yourbestfriend]

my mod a essay has no mention of women whatsoever lol

 

[99.95dreams]

does no one else do dalloway

 

[yourbestfriend]

what does oeuvre mean, my teacher always says to use it. how would i integrate it in an eliot introduction?

 

[tropics...]

i alr know the context and quotes back to back but im js not including it in my main essay
