Is anyone doing War/Nature poems?? Do you have any idea what will come up?
Also is anyone doing Blood Brothers? My teacher was saying that the narrator has a good chance of coming up but is there any other questions that you'd would reckon may come up?

Ah I think those poems are from Seamus Heaney And Thomas Hardy! I'm doing War and Nature and have no idea what will come up!! Good luck with the poetry!! I hope the unseen poem will be good
Okay I'll have to read over them, if they'll come up it wouldn't be the worst I guess!

Ah okay!!! Good luck with yours too! Unseen will be the death of me but lets just hope it will be a short, brief poem haha! For blood brothers, character summaries with key quotes + themes really help me revise!

Literally me! I may bring some tissues for my tears... honestly tho just thinking about it makes me so NERVOUS! I think for unseen you need a gameplan.. like first understand the poem and its basic meaning, then move on to the techniques, then try and interpret a more deeper meaning to impress the examiner!!! LOL and no problem! I think a character like Linda or Mrs Lyons / Johnstone would have loads to say! Did your english teacher make any predicions?

Yeah that's good! I actually kind of forgot how to analyse an unseen poem but that was helpful reminder, thanks! The female characters in the book would be good! Just thinking about it I can make a good few points. I guess it may depend on the question?? But there isn't much you can ask?? The only prediction she made was the narrator because he has never came up. It's like what's his role in the play, it actually would be a good question if that came up because we went over him quite a bit haha!

I'm doing the same, but I'm going to closely focus in on war as it's easier to put in context imo! My teacher said maybe the badger or Attack- normally I go through each past paper and predict it, but I'm doing that for An Inspector Calls atm ahah! How about you?

I do Blood Brothers! It isn't hard but I'm scared if a question comes up and I have only 2 or 3 points and that's it haha!

I would actually be really happy if The Badger came up! In my opinion nature can be easier as it's more straight forward and I feel like you can write a lot about the poems! There's An Irish Airman Foresees His Death which is a really nice poem but it came up last year I do Blood Brothers! It isn't hard but I'm scared if a question comes up and I have only 2 or 3 points and that's it haha!

don't just revise your annotations. REVISE THEMES AND WHAT POEMS MATCH UP TO THEM TOO!!! that's my advice. Cause you could end up with a really bad theme essay for question 2a, and might have to go with 2b. If you don't know what poems go with what theme you'll end up losing all 40 marks!!! PLEASE!! DON'T!!! FORGET!!! THEMES!!!
