like a bird, baby. common themes maintained throughout the essay is a definite bonus point.

my essay was schitsky von krap. i gave two pages to my intro, two to tempest and two to my supp text and then 1 para on my SB text (atwood) then a SHITE conclusion. grrr.
welshi you have made my day... but then again you didnt read it.
my texts were lime tree bower, mariner, the raven, road not taken (i managed to talk about post modernism somehow???)
but yeh i said that all of these poems have a protagonist who realises something about their life, experiences etc and it is these experiences that have shaped their character (the journey more imporant than the arrival)
im not sure if thats justifiable :eek:

Doesn't the exam only go for two hours? So it would have officially finished at 11:00 AM. Looks like no one met your challenge:D.

Piss easy exam.

:)

Although writing 2 booklets in small print for th essay got me 20 mins over time. The thing just didn't end.

Story was pretty good for 5 pages.

Short answer, I did alright. Although only had 7 mins for the last part.

Easssy.
