I found them really easy. The heroes extract we had gone through in class so I was really pleased.

Oh hahaha that's really lucky! It went okay for me as well but I think I did better on An Inspector Calls than heroes. Which questions did you choose?

I chose the "How does 'An Inspector Calls' present/show attitudes of society towards women in the 20th century?" <-- Or something like that and for Heroes I chose the one about the abuse of power :smile:

I chose the attitudes towards women from AIC and the one with sympathy and Francis for heroes.

Well from what I can remember, I talked about the following points:
- Mr Birling's true motives for him marrying his daughter to Gerald Croft (i.e. Business)
- How Eric threatened Eva if she did not let him in and let the inevitable happen. As if she was just a sex object, no more.
- The way Gerald used her for an amount of time to fill his sexual desires
- The phrases used to describe women such as "haunt of women of the town" or "she was a good sport", again quite derogatory terms
- The way the above points represent the attitude toward most women at the time.
- The way Upper Class women see Lower Class women, i.e. Mrs Birling rejecting Daisy Renton's plea, she states "women of that class", and so on so forth

- However, I then mentioned how the new generation of people have more socialistic minds, i.e. Eric and Sheila, and how Sheila states "they are not just cheap labour"

I then just summed these points, and a few more up into a conclusion.

The above is just rough points, of course I heavily expanded on each one

And then a few other things. I can't remember them now though aha :smile:

For an inspector calls i did Mrs Birling, i loved that question! I talked about how Eva lied when coming to the woman's organisation causing Mrs Birling to be suspicious, also how Eva called herself Mrs Birling. I also talked about how she found out that Eric was the father of the baby and an alcoholic making the reader pity her and how shes so oblivious. I also mentioned how she thinks that the father "ought to marry" her because its not the organisation's responsibility to take care of the child!
I liked that question more than the Heroes one. For the heroes one, i wrote about Francis.

Guys, i forgot to write a conclusion! How bad will that cost me?

If you included all of your main points, stating how it shows the original point your trying to make in one form or another, I think you'll be OK although I may be wrong. However, I do think, including all of the main points that you wanted to say should really be enough.
