    Did exactly the same as you... didn't think Streetcar question went too bad - as a class we were concentrating on knowing the scenes really well and when you get scene 11 stuff it seems so easy since you know that everything came before it :P

    Section B... transcript wasn't too bad, but I struggled to find things to talk about. Apart from micropauses, agenda, and a few attitudes and values there really wasn't much there. And then that poem! I hardly even understood it, didn't know whether it was meant as humour, or irony, or information. Got a few points about it, but I really found it difficult :/

    FOUND the poem difficult aswell..streetcar was okay-ish could have been better but yes I agree I thought the same, thank goodness it was scene 11! lol ..I began writing scene 12 (not too far in like 3 sentences) and realised wth!? it's scene 11 LOOOL but yeah it helped a lot! and same we did the same thing in lesson, just hoping that I got the B I needed 2bh

    Yep, same. Thought the Streetcar one was really broad and you had almost too much to talk about, and then Section B you had such a small amount it just seemed so weird D:
