 I knooww, very last minute but would someone be able to give me some tips on studying for the close study module? (we're doing Merchant of Venice)
They can pretty much ask about any aspect of the play, and I'm just wondering how am i supposed to come up with a thesis, and how to structure the essay...??

You could potentially use first person pronouns as a technique? 'my' and 'we'.... jst an idea!!

Hey,

I'm really struggling to prepare for paper 2, does any one have any suggestions of how this is done? My texts are Shoe-horn sonata (RT Maus) , curious incident... and the simple gift (RT Book thief). I'm kinda reluctant to prepare too much because I did this today and it was the essay question was completely different to what I had prepared for and honestly I just hate english so much and idk why they think exams are a good idea ever but especially for english.

Thanks

Hey! I know Paper 1 today was brutal for a lot of people, but chin up! If you do the right things and stay positive you can absolutely bring it around for Paper 2 ;D

How likely is Paper two going to ask a question on a specific key idea or poem or scene (for any modules in general)?

Hey! It is unlikely, but very much possible - They've done specific questions like these before, you need to know your texts well enough that you can answer them (which means knowing all your poems if there are multiple, for example) :)

Hey! With time short, do two things:

1. Memorise a bunch of quotes covering different themes and different aspects of your texts.
2. Do dot point essays for a heap of practice questions (here is a bunch) to practice fitting those quotes to the question.

As for structure, the simplest is probably just one theme per paragraph! ;D

Are there any notes for the Persistence of Memory for distinctively visual. I have some but I'm not that confident as my teacher didn't help me with it. My essay is tomorrow and I have not idea what to do.

nooo sorry :-( seems like a pretty rare text. if you don't know what to do, bullshit everything - you'll get some marks from that. make an essay plan, do as much as possible. i know procrastinating and giving up seems ideal right now but we don't have long to go!! good luck

Hey,
I was just wondering if we have to censor our quotes. Like with a quote from Curious Incident of the dog in the night time that says what the f*** are you doing with my dog?

Hey! Nope, if your text uses profanity, that's actually a technique! So keep it in (and perhaps discuss its use)
