    I did the first question on Duffy and Pugh and then Dancing at Lughnasa. I loved the Duffy and Pugh question, but I did make a huge mistake in it, lol....probably more actually. I was like wtf with both the Dancing at Lughnasa questions so I just did number 18 because I could talk about historical context more, but I still think I did crap on it :/

    I did murmuring judges too- I did the question on power, what did you do?
    I think I spent too much time on the poetry, so didn't really get to write all I wanted

    And I wasn't sure how to add in context

    Really hated that play- nothing happens!

    The first Dancing at Lughnasa question was about how Friel presents the Irish Catholic Family or something along those lines. The one I did was about the significance of gender in the 1930s. I thought both the passages for Dancing at Lughnasa were obscure too. There are so many other passages that are better suited to the questions on the paper. How do you think you did?
