Is anyone going to do Hardy poetry for section A any ideas on what they think might come up? or any tips for the exam in general this is the 3rd time im resitting it, my texts are Thomas Hardy and Tennyson Poetry, The Great Gatsby and The Kite runner. cant seem to get higher than a c :/ any help much appreciated!

thanks!

yeah aspects of narrative = aon...

Do you normally just choose like 3 aon for a.a) but go into detail?

you aspects of narrative for section b not a

Hey

I'm doing Rime of the Ancient Mariner for section A! Apparently it could Part 4 as that hasn't come up yet...

I'm really scared about Section Aa for this, I've never got higher than a C cause I keep getting told different things to do for this part?

Could you please help me answer a few questions to clarify?

-Do we need to include all of the AON in Section A.a) in order to get an A?

-Also, do you have any examples of your answer for Section A that I could have a look at please? :smile:

I'll send you a few too if you would like?

Didn't part 4 come up last june??

For all those doing Gatsby what chapter are you most wanting to come up and least wanting. Id love chapter 2 to come up but I'd hate chapter 6 to come up.

I'm pretty sure chapter 2 was last June...

I could be wrong though.

peace+love.

for section A.a you only do AO2, which is analysing structure, form and language

Okay so for section A.a only Part 6 of Rime of the Ancient Mariner hasn't come up.... could be a red herring!

not sure if you are all aware but we are allowed to fold down key pages in our books. My teacher spoke to the examiners yesterday and they said that we are allowed. that will save a hell of a lot of time :biggrin:

good luck tomorrow.

How is everyone feeling? I'm alright for A(ii) and Section B but I really don't understand what to do for A(i). I looked at some scripts from some of the year above in my school and there doesn't seem to be a clear message about what the examiners want. At least I get to write about Gatsby for an hour though, absolutely love him!

hmmm well our teacher told us it was allowed so most people who are gonna take the exam in our school will do it :/ it seemed a bit odd to me too but if the examiner said we could two it 2 days before the exam then i'm just going do it.

Section A(i) = AO2 - Structure, Language and Form.

Hahaha, I know those! I just meant that there are so many instances when people do that yet don't get the marks for it that I was wondering if there was some other knack to nailing it. Thank you though :-)
