for conflict for mametz wood I just wrote about effects of conflict and compared it to futility, completely misread the question and didn't mention place. Will I get any marks?

Did anyone compare Sister Maude with Brothers?
I would have chosen Manhunt but sadly, it was the one poem I didn't actually revise. Sister Maude I wasn't too confident with either as I'd mainly prepared for a THCM/Hour comparison. Panicking over here.

As long as you justified it it's probably right. I wrote how it could be love or infatuation and explained both.

Did anyone do the 'fear' question on bayonet charge in the conflict cluster? That's what I did and I compared it with COTLB. Heard so many people say they misread the question on Mametz wood!
I was quite pleased with the unseen poem as well.

Anyone talk about the repetition of 'life is now better then before' at the end of each stanza?

Yeah! I said how it was repeated made it seem as though it was mantra she told her self again and again to try and convince herself that all of the pain is worth it. I also said how one could argue that Hannah uses an acerbic tone in this phrase as it's ironic that life could be 'better' if the subject has caused her so much pain. :smile:

did anyone do the manhunt question and what did you compare it with? I did brothers because there is a broken relationship between the siblings :h:

There's no right answers to unseen poetry, it's more how you interpret it you'll probably get marks for whatever you put :3

It's a shame I never explicitly talked about the most obvious point in that unseen poem!

No, because there wasn't a question on Charge of the Light Brigade!
