Hi, I am also doing Larkin and Abse and Lughnasa tomorrow... for the third time! I'm desperate to get my grade up to an A!
If I were you, i'd forget the summaries, because it's an open exam. I have realised after two attempts that writing essays and learning poems didn't help - I got the same grade both times. Instead, I am reading and learning critics for Larkin and Abse and I am learning detailed context for Lughnasa. I have a list of critics that fit well with almost ANY Larkin theme, so if you would like them then I can send them to you.
I am also wondering if you know anything about what the theme will be for the Larkin and Abse question? In summer 2012 it was 'unhappiness' for one question (if I remember correctly), and in January it was loss. My centre are guessing (and hoping) that this years Lughnasa will be a question on Kate, since a question about her has never been asked, and the exam board are likely to change the scripts next year as they change every 5 years and so this is their last chance to ask a question on Kate!
Thanks
