Anyone who did Heaney and Clarke for the AQA Literature exam today.

OP

Thanks

Well basically, I'm totally freaking out because I can't remember if there were any named poems for it, other than Field Mouse by Gillian Clarke :s-smilie:

Do you think you could possibly remember?
It would be a great help, thanks.

I did that as well
I did the Field Mouse then I did At A Potato Digging followed by Patrolling Barnegat and Sonnet

Hey, I did question 21 on Section B, about how the poets use methods to convey ideas.
I was wondering if anyone else did the same question?
I'm well worried about it :/
Thanks :smile:

There weren't-done the same question

Good question but time consuming. Apart from the named question I did at a potato digging, the eagle and sonnet.

It was Field Mouse only

Did anyone do short stories out of interest? I done question 1 for that!

Oh thank God!
You guys are LIFE SAVERS!
I did;
Field Mouse, At A Potato Digging, Sonnet and On My First Sonne.
You think those are okay?
:s-smilie:

I did Short Stories, and Q1 too. :smile:

I chose The End Of Something and obviously Chemistry.
I just worried that I spoke about the ending of a relationship, rather than relationships in general.
What did you pick?

to be honest you could have done any 3 poems along with the named one. I done The Eagle because its short, Sonnet because there's a lot to write about and At A Potato Digging because I know them well.

Your's are fine!

I chose Flight. You could have chosen The End of Something, Flight, Paula Brown, Your shoes or even Growing Up.

I wrote about relationships in general but also about ending of relationships.

Should be fine.

Thankyou so much.
I thought it was a fantastic question.
Yeah, Field Mouse and At A Potato Digging serve for great comparisons.
Although, I don't think I mentioned structure enough.
I only wrote about the endings of all four in my conclusion :s-smilie:

Should be fine.

My analysis was about the conflict between nature and humans
like in Clarke, humans harm nature
in Heaney's at a potato digging its the otherway round, as in patrolling barnegat, but in sonnet its about the beauty of nature. yeah pretty crap though im not sure if mine even made sense - i had no time to re-read.

I wrote about the exact same theme, that's reassuring (Y)

Meh, I think I flopped my Short Stories though :s-smilie:
