I'd literally memorised essays on dreams and violence and loneliness so I was pretty disappointed that they didn't come up. That being said, I managed to make about 8 different points about Curley, I said he was embodiment of all the themes. I made one quote up though, about when Lennie dies him seeing "shot the bastard" >.>.

Crooks as an extract = perfect! I wrote about a page but only did 3 PEEs :s-smilie:.

The poetry was surprisingly easy, hardly any differences!

yeah I tweak a few quotes as I can't remember them perfectly :L

I did about 3/4 of a page for the extract :biggrin: (small handwriting :L )

the poetry had many similarities but I just sorted made some alternative meanings to make some differences I could stick in there :L and even some to just put as a similarity :smile: ... I said mrs porter Died, but the language could suggest she was 'disposed of' :L summat like that -.-
I'm giving up with maths - somebody motivate me!

I just talked about how the last line ''as all the woman drew closer to the table'' was a metaphor for death or something. xD
What do you think will come up for Lord of the flies/ A View from the Bridge (if you're doing them!!)

I felt like the literature exam went really well! Did Woman In Black and Of Mice and Me on AQA.
The WiB question was really straightforward, I think literally everybody in my class wrote about pathetic fallacy in the fog... But it was a little disappointing that I had to choose the chapter question, when I felt that I there was so much else in the rest of the book that I didn't get to talk about.

Of Mice and Men, I could have kissed the examiner when I saw Slim had come up for the extract. The part b was a little tricky but I think it went well. Wrote about physical appearance, symbolism and the theme of power and strength.

Maths is easy. Again, my notes are OP (I had the best maths/teacher in the school :lol:), so let me know if you'd like them. I'm sure we're all willing to help each other with things that we don't understand :smile:

On this paper, I'm pretty sure the following will come up:
Constructions
Vectors
Histograms
