Who knows what they are writing on for the exam?

I'm still not sure, so I'm studying three texts pretty intensively to work out which I like best. I still have a fourth in the back of my mind. It's so hard to decide! How early do you think you should know exactly which texts you are going to write on?

Keats' poetry and A Passage to India.

I don't want to do the short stories (by Chekhov) nor the play (No Sugar-- our australian text), so have decided to stick with the two above. They are both filled with imagery, so would be easy to write about.

Austen is an under-appreciated author at the VCE level holding genre constant. Shelley, Shakespeare, Bryon and Tennyson have been over-emphasized and therefore are more competitively assessed against uniform criteria. Poetry can be extraordinarily multi-faceted in their analysis as well as exposition. Wherever possible and provided that the offer exists, I tend to encourage students to select Edgar Ellen Poe as their weapon of choice.

Stuffed because the one I'm considering, Stasiland, has been under the radar ever since we finished it in Unit 3. I'm quite unprepared unlike you guys and I'm only really considering Emma. Daren't pick Hamlet because the competition seems too tough and Larkin Poetry is just... yea.
