Yeah in the AQA literature exam we have one unseen poetry question and one question on a text you have studied, I'm doing Journey's End by RC Sherriff. For the unseen poetry, its hard to predict what poem is going to come up since there are so many they can choose from

I was going to ask if you're sure you're doing aqa english literature beacuse A View From the Bridge isn't on the specification, and poetry (unit 2) is definitely on Friday, but I googled it and it seems like you might be doing IGCSE? In which case, I have no idea, sorry.

My teacher said it's likely to be a modern-ish poem (20th century) but it doesn't really matter at the end of the day, just practice picking out the specific implicit meanings for a number of poems till it becomes second nature
