Watch the film. It's much better.

'Stellaaaaaaaa'

:biggrin:

Lol! I remember that when that was read in class- :mad:

the person doing it didn't do it properly. :huff:

So when we were talking about tone of that, I felt obliged to roar it out how I thought the tone should be. :biggrin:

Haha, that's the only line in the play where I remembered it clearly. The rest is history :p:

I had to do A Streetcar Named Desire for AS (and then I had to retake during the A2 year becase I completely messed up the exam question the first time!).

But I really liked the play. In fact, I liked it so much, maybe I bought my own copy to keep... :rolleyes:

i love it when boys don't care about reading plays in english and some of them just go for it lol. weedy boy in my class said 'stella' in a really stupid, timid way, basically, imagine how it should be done, think of the EXACT opposite, and that's how he did it :p:

The first exam question was about the relationship of the two sisters I think, which I found too hard to write about that I rambled, which I probably why I failed it. :rolleyes:

Wheras on my retake, it was about themes and motifs running through the play, which I found much easier to get to grips with as there are plenty of themes and motifs to be found in A Streetcar Named Desire. :smile:

I like the discuss questions, but I didn't get on very well with talking about Blanche's character, so I don't think I would have liked to attempt that question really.
I could talk for England when I really get going with a question. I hate the feeling when your wrists and fingers hurt from writing as fast as you can but you can't slow down because there's so much more you want to get written down before the time's up.

Something similar happened to me. After one day of 6 hours of exams all one after he other, I couldn't move or use my right hand or indeed my whole arm for DAYS afterwards! It was even so tender and throbbing when I didn't move it or put any pressure on it! Did mean alot of hot water bottles and hot chocolates though. :biggrin:

Does anyone else find that in the latter part of the exam that all your muscles in your legs, arms and chest seize up, your blood sugar level drops really rapidly as in you can actually feel it, and you feel all faint and as if you're going to faint and have a seizure? Because I always do and I hate feeling like that. Just wonder whether I should mention it before the exam or to my doctor/be worried?^o)

My Streetcar exam question was something along the lines of "to what extent is Blanche a heroine/Blanche is a heroine...". Yes, you can see how well I remember the wording of that question... :rolleyes:

That sounds quite serious - maybe see a doctor?

I think I'd like a question about themes and motifs if I was doing this at A2 too. The Blanche being a heroine question is quite nice. :smile:

We studied that in English... I thought it was good but didn't really like it because I thought it was a bit depressing. It managed to get me an A though so for that I thank it lol!!

I loved learning about all the symbolism and motifs and everything though.. they were hidden everywhere.. it was interesting going through it and suddenly realising them.

Hehe- yes, definitely. Should give me more time to write another 10 sides or so. :biggrin:

I hear you both though, will definitely say something about it. A bit difficult to prove to them though unless they simulate an exam just for me to see the effects I mean.

How much do you folks tend to write?

Yes, symbolism and motifs are interesting. :five:

And not just for this book either.
