Does anyone have any notes on WH? I'm doing Wuthering Heights, Macbeth and The Bloody Chamber

snap....were doing the exact same texts

[humera01]

Im doing WH, Macbeth and The bloody chamber so if any one has any one wants to exchange notes and stuff let me know.....
.....For those of us doign the same texts i think it may be a good idea if we write soem collective essays--- eg each person write a paragrpah or sumat----that way we will be workign on a03 sicne we will all naturally have different itnerpretations.....im not startign my 'official' english lit revision yet , but this thread coudl be a useful wya of puttign about half an hour in a day...if we alll do abit of work each ...and look at different gothic themes and stuff we could hopefully all do great : )

helloo, im studying Dr Faustus, Dracula and Bloody Chamber.. was just wondering I should have this written down but the A0s, what are they again?!

[fishfan01]

I'm doing Macbeth, TBC and Dracula... I think Macbeth and most of TBC are great, with loads of stuff to say, but every time I think about Dracula, I just want to go to sleep I was wondering how people are approaching revising it? Also, our teacher for it was...not all that great...and I've realised that there's so much stuff from people in other classes that she's missed out, so I'm also currently trying to learn loads of stuff that she didn't teach us, yet she still hasn't managed to finish the course...

I've gone through the whole of Macbeth, writing summaries of each scene, and then key ideas and quotes, and I'm going to be making mind maps for different ideas within it, though (apart from remembering the exact wording of quotes) I find it quite easy. TBC's pretty much the same - I'm going through stories one at a time (only recently started, but I'm getting there ), making a timeline/mindmap with key quotes and gothic themes etc, but I'm really struggling with Dracula

I think the main problem is that, although the plot itself is okay (acceptable), I can't stand Mina or Harker, and Stoker's style of writing is so heavy-handed and boring (I really do not care what you ate for dinner, Harker) that I can't spend too much time with it or I get rather angry, and my notes stop being useful and start looking something along the lines of: 'nobody should have ever given Stoker a pen', which is obviously highly unfair and not going to get me anywhere in the exam.

I really need an A in this exam and am starting to freak out rather a lot, so any pointers at all (websites, general ideas, anything) would be really great

AO1 is your written language and how well you can write.
AO2 is your analysis of language, structure and form.
AO3 is your alternative interpretations, arguments and debate.
AO4 is contextual knowledge.

I am doing the same three texts. Whereas you say you're struggling with Dracula I believe that is my strongest. I am struggling with Macbeth, do you fancy trading ideas and such?

[humera01]

this is abit random, but does anyone have any predictions for possible section B questions, and section A questions for Macbeth,TBC, and Wuthering Heights. Im thinking of doind essay plans this weekend : )

[Jamie_t789]

I'm doing the exam. I'll be doing Wuthuring Heights, Dr Faustus and Dracula.

Ah cool. I'm doing the exam also. I'll be doing Wuthering Heights, The Pardoner's Tale and Frankenstein. Anyone here doing the same texts? Aw, gutted our school never got to do Dracula. Wanted it on this year's syllabus although used it for my compare and contrast coursework piece with Interview With The Vampire. Never read Dr Faustus. What's it like?

[lampshade1]

I'm doing Wuthering Heights, Macbeth and The Bloody Chamber, any notes would be much appreciated!!! dreading this exam

[Mariah246]
