Hate vultures
We were meant to do that one lesson when our teach was out on a course but we didn't do the work and she came back and had a massive stress

Everyone in my class hated Vultures. I did as well at first but then realised it's actually one of the easier poems to analyse...and there's good contextual knowledge too.

There is that good side but because our teacher was that angry we never did it in class again

No one does, we were talking about that in our revision class and our teacher was saying that the poet changes her ideas on it every time she reads it so there is no hope for us then.

Hattie.

I hate Love after Love. Really hate it! If you want I can look at my CGP guide and type up some notes on it from here...would help me revise too. :biggrin:

If anyone wants me to let me know! :smile:

I'm hoping that Two Scavengers comes up, or Island Man, or Blessing. Those are the three I know the best I think...we did both clusters and there are some that I just cannot get to grips with, so if they came up, I'd be screwed! :biggrin:

The CGP Books are quite good but so are the york notes they're kinda deeper context wise.

Have a look on

These note are brief but the CGP and york notes are good if you can get your hands on them

Yeh but Limbo's a little bit deep there are quite a few different perceptions to it if you read it over and over again like our teacher made us do over and over and over again lol :mad2:

I'd like either Nothings Changed,Island Man Blessing or Vultures to come up
:biggrin:

I mean its english language why do we have to do some lit in the start of the second paper its so annoying
:biggrin:

Anyone else think half-caste would be the easiest poem to analyse or if not which poem would be for you and why
