Lit exam 2008
« on: November 06, 2008, 05:51:33 pm »
So how did everyone go? I was ecstatic with my passages for keats poetry, the extracts were almost identical with the ones on a practice exam we did, so there was no uncertainty there. Antigone was pretty good to, i had so much to say but had to choose carefully due to time constraints. i finished with about 5 mins lieft. What are your thoughts?

MUCH ADO PASSAGES/WTF?!?@Q!JQ*@U)RPOA*DUFPILW%ORPWI$HRf


i liked donne, pretty much predicted itd be elegy 2.. a 'love' one then a religious one so that was all good tlaked about the evolution of his concerns

much ado however... omg i dont think anyone else is doing it.. but the passages were so dodgy.. i had such a hard time linking them and i hardly talked about the passages :(

it sucks coz im like 99% sure all other novels plays whatever got better passages


ass...

'Three Sisters' and 'Sense and Sensibility' had good passages I thought, had a fair bit you could venture into. Overall very happy.

I forgot there was a seperate section for completed exams...

Anyway, the passages for Washington Square and King Lear were pretty decent (bit more Edmund would've been nice in the latter), although I was a bit disappointed with how I went. I think that's because they weren't as good as the practice essays I'd done and some stuff which I ussually always incorporate just slipped my mind. Still I'm just praying for that 40+... I hope everyone else went well and you got passages you wanted. Like to know what others thought of the Lear passages..

Since it's pretty much the only subject I like, I'm sure all be doing a few literature courses at Uni next year. Methods tomorrow, so depressing :(

English, yeah. I did well in that so I guess there was not as much pressure as there would've been for many of you others. Glad to hear so many of you did well though!

I did Larkin [good stuff]

And Tenant - which was horrendous, considering it was the first year... and we got half a passage on landscape.
Still wrote a decent essay though.

I'm quite happy with how I went. In my Regeneration essay I quoted Mussolini haha. Probably the best intro I've ever written.
