our english teachers seem to think that NESA can only prescribe a creative or otherwise they have to give us a choice cause apparently that's what has been in the sample Q's.
Tbh i just did a creative first and memorised it and just a discursive thats leaning persuasive as a backup just in case they throw a ONLY discursive and/or persuasive. Cbf about mod c tbh more worried for my CM essay
Im under the same impression, creative writing is like a talent for some people I doubt they would throw that option away and make us do the least creative thing.
I think Mod A this year might be easier - so general question, and then Module B will be a text-specific question about how it portrays the certain motif of the author you're studying.
for ts eliot do u think they’ll specify a poem, or give us a chunky extract and let us write whatever we want?
if they give you an extract, you are going to have to discuss it anyways.... it's also likely they will enforce us to discuss the poem in the extract than not....
have you made any guesses on which poem they could potentially prescribe?
hmmm feel like Rhapsody, since many people will ignore that one and NESA hasn't really forced this since the new syllabus. But I can't say for sure!
can u send that paper
I mean I wouldn’t know lol. Do you want to be patient 0?
I agree with this ngl
Yes, I've been having the same thoughts. It's the most obscure out of all his poems, so it wouldn't surprise me.
I personally think hollow men is the most obscure; but I guess that's entirely subjective. It seems that usually if a text is prescribed, it's his later ones (Hollow or Magi), because those are the ones student's neglect the most (atleast that's what I've experienced in the trials I've done). I also think Magi and Hollow are the most conceptual and difficult ones; Rhapsody, and Prufrock being flaneur-style, journeys into the urban decay, and Preludes being vignettes of the city... but who knows! Guess we'll find out.
