Neutral Tones - Thomas Hardy AQA AS A English Lit

which site is that?
haha I'm so worried about this exam, how did you decide which poems were the most important?

I've chosen one with differnt themes in it and a few with similiar themes and different styles and gonna remember Hap and He Revolves to Say No More. =)

what sort of themes did you come up with?

etc.. I could do a few if you would like some on a word doc or on here..?

some on a word document would be a massive help to me thank you

lol. Okay I'll try my best. Don't follow it too close seeing apparently I'm predicted an E

why are you predicted an E? your notes seem good to me and I'm predicted an A lol

yeah sounds good!
a lot of it is own interpretation and yeah they're my key points. For some of the poetry im going to go deep (convergence, boterel, and during wind and rain which im doing seperately to the rest) but im going to answer the question quite widely in the exam.
And yes do that - it will be interesting! And lol about the site you're using! I told my class about that site and now they all love me :P

- Only two or three essays this yearr.

Sammmmme! LOL

I am a lazy kid throughout then buck up at the end, and get into motion!

What literary techniques have you guys got wider reading quotes for?

My tutor told me that quotes weren't essential to get a good grade just explain the technique and style apprently...

Hmm apparently for 90%+ quotes are essential... I know quite a few, and I have a knack for remembering quotes which is good.
But yeh, fantastic, hope it goes well for you.

Oh my gosh really?!
What have you got quotes for techniques or examples of subject matter?
Oh noo looks like I'm going to have to get learning some then!
There seems to be loads of confusion between different teachers as to what exactly we are meant to be doing, no one seems to be saying the same thing .

Another thing, I read on the AQA website that for the compulsory question that you'd get better marks if you encorporate the analysing of the extract and the wider reading, but my teacher told me it would be better to do the 2 parts seperately. Have you had any advice on this?

So glad I can talk to someone about this exam!!
Yeh there's a lot of conflict between teachers, my teacher said to do it seperately but I'm taking the gamble and going for what AQA say - it is a lot more cogent that way.
But quotes aren't hard to remember - just keep repeating. I'm sad enough to enjoy it!!

Yeah I'm doing the course distance learning so everyone at my school is doing a different syllabus by a different board lol. What sort of quotes are you learning though, what features of the poems do they show?

im onyl learning quotes for the wider reading section.
just ons about style of vic lit, and subject matter of vic lit
