What main themes do you think will come up?

I reckon something about control will come up if that hasn't come up already. Maybe something about hatred.

my teacher says she thinks unseen is going to be about women or race because they haven't come up before but this is her first year doing this board and she says to take her predictions with a pinch of salt lol

my teacher predicted individuality, horror, anticipation vs action and melodrama for the gothic

yeah that's what I mean, they're both initially out of 60 and are weighted to 80. So where does the 80 marks for NEA come from if the whole thing is out of 200.
