Of Mice and Men is quite a nice text though, I did it in Year 9 and quite enjoyed it. I've done barely any revision for the poetry and we're meant to know 15...

We have to know 12, and I can't remember any of them.

Do you have to learn them off or do you get a booklet of them to annotate?

We were given an Anthology with all of the poems to study but we're not allowed to take it into the exam so we have to know the poems well enough to quote from.

My brain would actually explode if I had to do that. OMG. We are lucky enough to have a clean copy but we need to know the background knowledge of it.

Yeah it's really hard. You're lucky, I thought none of the exams boards allowed us to take the texts into the exams with the new 9-1 spec?

So, despite being an unlikely character to come up on the aqa english literature exam, I decided to revise a few quotes from the partiality major character, Mr Jaggers. I found a website with a quote that I could easily memorise and found extremely useful. However I am not completely sure it is actually from the novel and it may instead be from a film version of the novel. The quote is: "I do not want to know the truth, the law does not require it". If anyone can, please find what chapter it's from if it is a real quote or if its not a real quote, please tell me.

Thanks

I live in Nothern Ireland so the 9-1 spec only goes for people who live in Britain. CCEA allows us to have an open book exam for All My Sons though but closed for OMAM. Your exam boards seem so hard.
