Tyger v Blessing :frown: do not do it

Not a good comparison trust me cos no similar themes and no "one moment" like the question stated. i panicked lol. I bet the marker is gonna laugh when they see what rubbish i wrote, so note: do not compare blessing and Tyger, IT DOESNT WORK ! I think im probs the only one in the country who did this cos im an idiot but

I was about to do it, and talk about power until I saw the "one moment" thing and I decided to do the other question instead

It was alright, though the unseen poem threw me off a little bit - I mentioned stuff to do with the 'tragedy' in the beginning, random stuff about the 'inhabitants' and it was generally a bit of a struggle - the anthology was alright - the closed book question was okay i suppose lol i should've written more, hope it was okay for everyone else!
@Evil Homer - add to list for Edexcel IGCSE Eng Lit please? :smile:
Hi everyone,

i obvs took my eng ,it today and i found it really tough. The unseen poem was really hard i thought. For the poetry comparison i did blessing and do not go gentle. Looking at your replies, i feel i should have done war photographer or the tyger but i thought that do not go gentle may have been about thomas being in the moment with his father. i have no clue. for the OMAM i did george as it looked the most easiest haha. Lets hope we dont get too thrown for the mod drama and lit heritage! Would it be possible to be added into the chat? thanks guys!
yep I defo failed

Found unseen poem rally hard to be honest, feel like I wrote a load of rubbish. Poems I did Blessing and war photographer and think I did alright but thinking back does it matter if I didn't take about the effect on the reader? I more concentrated on the meaning and message of the poem? And lastly I did of mice and men on George, I didn't like the look of the other question so settled for George but don't think I wandered it very well soooooo could go either way


i did things fall apart but could not finish and didnt have time soo...it was bad

god I thought the unseen was good until now. I think Must have been delirious. I just rambled on about nothing lol and didn't structure well at all. And with prayer before birth and half caste I said hardly anything about the latter.
