Lit exam 2008

whats a cohort???

omg the antigone and belcanto passages were great! the problem with that is that there was so much to write on and so little time, so i didn't get time to read back though any of my essays, i hope it all flowed!!! it definatly wasn't my best work i left the exam in tears, i've been geting A+'s in all my sacs.... how much will an ordinary exam drop me??

[bridgethuss]

the structure of my essays were very poor i just kept writing i didnt follow any plan haha woops..
last yr a girl from my school averaged a+s throughout the year and got a b+ on the exam, and she still got 40

yeah i left the exam in tears too great passages though

King Lear passages 08 - 3 examples of the passages you don't chose when setting this text - pretty weird choices...

Not sure at all how it went

i read your essay, you'll definitely get at least a 25, so don't give up hope!

Prod - I note a tone of mocking - seriously next time I see you - you are going down!

Late to the party but I did Kinsella & Passage to India - India passages were terrible, in my opinion - really limited what aspects/themes/characters you could talk about (no real mentions of either of the two main male characters) but you get what you get, I s'pose. Kinsella was pretty standard - I was suprised at the inclusion of The Shed and the forgoing of Wild Radishes. Overall, not an awful exam, a couple of friends who did Auden were pleased, I know.

I would have kissed the exam if wild radishes was in it, with cold. I LOVE THOSE POEMS.

And to create the PERFECT trifactor the third poem would be inland. I would have killed for those three poems.

Auden passages were AMAZING!!!!

[bridgethuss]

i would have loved wild radishes, salt lesson, and goading storms again!

[amyminchin]

ew, no... I hate Goading Storms. I find it really frustrating to link it back to his other work. He's all like "oh I hate the farmerz, oh wait. lets feel sorry for them in this bit so we can screw VCE students over. lolz."

Salt Lesson is also annoying, but I could've dealt. Cold is number one poem though.

[pastiche]

RE: Kinsella, it was highly unlikely they'd repeat - I was disappointed First Essay wasn't on. I LOVE that poem. Amazing would have been Goading Storms, Wild Radishes and Wheatbelt Gothic, but I would have liked First Essay in lieu of Goading Storms. There's just so much to talk about with Goading Storms - villainelle form, rhyme + repetition, liberal use of leitmotif, Kinsella's portrayal of humans, etc. etc.

Salt Lesson is *sweet*, I think

[amyminchin]

I agree with First Essay. First time I read it I was like.... WTH? But now i LOVE it. It's so easy to support any claim through it. I looooove it.
I despise Goading Storms. I'd much prefer to tie in my lang analysis with a solid intepretation than talk about his structure at any length. It's such a massive deviation away from the norm that while I found it very easy to understand it frustated me no end.

Wild Radishes is my no.2 LOVE.

MY KINSELLA LOVES -> HATRED!!!

I would have killed for those three poems.

I don't think you've quite grasped the essence of poety. lol

[amyminchin]

lol. Kinsella makes me violent... or are you referring to my inadequate wording?
