I memorised flag, destruction of Sennacherib, envy, we lived happily during the war, lament and vergissmeinnicht but memorised essay plans for all the poems with 3-5 quotations per poem. I really wanted to write about vergissmeinnicht but we lived happy during the war fit the question better in the end!

Does anyone have any predictions for never let me go questions. My moments are cottages, visiting madame and realization, visiting norfolk to find R's possible, finding the lost tape, and Kathy's final looking back moment

I only did the part just before the extract when she starts to be interrogated for part b. Its unfortunate, but I didn't know what else to write. Did anyone else write about that moment as well? I didn't use any quotes from the actual extract though
