I agree. But I can understand for people who studied a group of poems/speeches the question would have thrown them.

module A = It was easier than the question from last year, which was strange!? module B = Interesting and fair. If you hadn't studied Act 5 of Hamlet you were screwed. module C = This was predictable, but annoying as it usually focuses on either CP or rep., not both, but this question forced you...

This is spot on. This example clearly demonstrates the replicants' connection with nature, particularly as the connection in the above quote about Zhora is not very convincing (her statement does not reveal she is connected to nature, but rather that she is victimised as a slave and as a woman)...

does he know this from the beginning?

Well it means you'll have lots of quotes, and this is an advantage. This will make a minimal difference. It's more important to look at form within your prescribed text: for Dickinson, this means poetic devices: hymnal metre, various rhymes, syllable count. Many people neglect these and use...

It's a bit presumptuous to line up numbers after less than half the exam is done

You can probably see some form of 'place' in your story if you try and find it. In our trials some people ignored the precise guidelines of the question and the marker didn't care (it said write about a place you RETURN to) but people who didn't return still got 13/14s

Re: How Great Was That? just ask for extra booklets before the exam starts

nature is a place, poems are an imaginative place (a mental space) and have a special place in time (timeless), it was mostly about nature and it felt like a bit of a wank

it's still a point you can make for s1 It's not blatant, it's concise. The title of the picture indicates it explores 'varied/various ways of belonging', therefore everything in the picture is explicity being used to demonstrate something about belonging. It's not an exhaustive explanation...

no because hungry is really long, while word beauty and letter are all short ones

the word 'people' was in the centre, therefore people are central to belonging

the booklets had such enormous spacing. It really confused me because I had no idea how much I'd actually written, since it 'looked' like a lot but that was just because it was so easy to fill out a page (my writing was big) and not at all cramped like in the trials with the 5mm lines... I felt...

For who did dICKINson what poems did you use? I used a word, died for beauty and letter

The first speaker was 'wrapping up' the viewpoints (though I didn't talk about this). It was a transcript and all the speakers seemed to be saying the same thing so it was irritating to read.

it said AT LEAST ONE RT so I used two, it was good for talking about the female's place in society - patriarchy

I didn't like the transcript because there weren't many techniques you could pluck out... I said the 'use of speakers' as one... Uhh right. I did the image and text 3 for the question e and it was good. The image seemed really lame but there was a lot to say on the small painted images in some...

do you have a technique? All I end up doing is writing out endless pages of analysis on sheets of paper, and as soon as a page is filled I scrunch it up and throw it away and keep writing more until my pens have no more ink. I don't know if this is effective..

Any interpretation of meaning is a 'reading', therefore at least ONE reading is necessary. My point is you can broaden your discussion if you consider the poem in more than one way. This makes your poems more flexible in terms of answering a question. Don't place the focus on the fact that it's...

Yes I think that's really important. There's so much to say on women in the play - you should prepare to be able to write a paragraph on it. You can say how patriarchy is an oppressive influence and Hamlet acts like a misogynistic male. Ophelia - flowers, music and water are her symbols
