In question A4 "How does it make you feel?" do you have to mention how YOU feel or just how a reader would feel?!

I answered it as how it made ME feel.. :confused:
Sorry to intrude, but I can't believe it's been 2 years since I sat this exam!

Good luck with the results everyone! :smile:
very good previous two...

i wrote things like....

A large, robust bird soars noisily past the classroom. Its heavy wings flap, echoing throughout the field. The hectic children, in response to seeing this, frantically dart around the classroom in an attempt to impersonate the animal.

A tall, confident businessman, pride in his stance, approaches through the door. He wears a brand new, vibrant armani suit and sparkling shoes. It was the headmaster. With every step he took, a masculine scent of cologne recoils off him.

Etc... i ended up writing 2 pages! (my handwriting is abnormally large, plus i left several lines due to paragraphs.)

I wrote about 2 pages too, and 4 pages for my story (my handwriting's huge too :redface:). I only did about a third or a page for my A1 though xD
not bad at all, i wrote about 10 words for a4 haaha!!
I like your description! I wrote how A4 made me feel and I wrote that yossarian is actually the crazy one cos he says that people are shooting him... But he's in a hospital

oh no, I did it the other way!
it was confusing and needed much interpretation
Yoss gets called a "she" half way through, lots of people have claimed this aswell.
I thought the soldier in white died twice..
I thought nurse cramer killed him, but then she looks in "horror" so she obviously didnt...
i had no idea wth they were talking about in the last paragraph... i just put two men were talking in a hospital...

i wrote the same thing saying it could be ironic because he could be the only sane one and the rest can't accept that there is a war going on but on the other hand it seems like its him who is crazy and he thinks theyre shooting at him but hes not being shot at

Ahh.. Well I have to say I did a very similar thing! Beforehand I prepared a description of a chav/teenager. So I said that the teacher had pictures of his son by his desk, and described those pictures. :tongue:


Lol thats actually smart

Umm i dont mean to worry you guys who did the question about getting it back in time on question B2 but it wasnt about time travel, it was about gettting something back before something bad happened like when you send something in the post.......
Okay, so i think i interpreted this completley wrong! at the end, i wrote that the war made Yossarian's friend crazy and disorientated as he contradicted himself in saying by saying 'no one is trying to kill you' and 'they're shooting at everyone', and the fact that he was being emotional shows this too.
I just didn't really understand this stupid extract!
and, can someone remind me what the descriptive writing was, i have a bad feeling i did it wrong...
