- Glad they didn't ask for a specific poem for Douglas Stewart
- Nearly cried during Mod B (Harry Lavender)
- Agreed with what Jess said for exploring transitions

I loved it!! Module B on Wilfred Owen was ehhhh, a bit shaky with what I prepare.

I even predicted the module c essay question - exploring transitions last night!!!
And I last minute changed my evidence last night for my related cause I had a gut feeling that it wouldn’t fit with the question tomorrow. and I was right !! WOO
Definitely preferred what I did today over yesterday!!!

My quotes weren’t really of sensory imagery LOL. So I had to make up the links between what I prepare to being an example of using sensory imagery lmao

I'm not sure about the book by Wilfred Owen and how well is explores "unsettling" but the Curious incident book fit that really well! How do you feel about your response about sensory imagery?

P.s nice reference Jamon :P

Oh oops! I thought you were talking about Wilfred Owen haha.

Hes is a war poet !! So thought you were referring to him haha. My bad!

Yeah I guess the only part of the question that was good for me, was that his poetry is indeed “unsettling” as they explore unorthodox ideas (through sensory imagery) about human experiences. But most of my quotes tho!! ! I Had to redo the effect of the techniques to link to sensory imagery somehow.
