Did Easter 1916, Sailing to Byzantium and the Second Coming

Did two related texts because I thought they helped to answer the compare part of the question for different sections of frontline.

My year was quite small (47 people I think) but some of my classes are pretty big considering how small the classes are for years with 100s of students Advanced English - 26 Chemistry - 19 SOR I - 12 (but there were 2 classes) Maths Ext 1 - 12 Maths Ext 2 - 7

No, I just talk about the themes and how they can be taken in different context to give the poetry enduring power eg Easter 1916, while written for a specific historical context addresses aspects of the universal human condition making in applicable to our society today... yada yada. :P Best of...

Hey... there are answers in your other thread....

Yikes... have no idea... need to work on that I would say I will probably use, Add Sex and Stir and We Aint Got Dames with some references to The Siege and Playing the Ego Card..........

Well we seem to agree on that pretty much, so lets hope we're right.

I have been getting very good marks for this module but with the HSC you never know... I have never mentioned readings in my answers, I tend to rely on my own personal interpretation which I think is what the markers are looking for however if there is a reading you agree with and you can show...

Ok well the way i see it is: "Consume my heart away, sick with desire And fastened to a dying animal It knows not what it is" Here Yeats is referring to that while our souls may be forever young, they feel confused, alienated and diminished by our ageing bodies (the dying animal). It is...

Doing Yeats. I know all the poems except Byzantium. In exam will probably use Easter 1916, Sailing to Byzantium and The Second Coming but if it asks for something one of them doesnt fit I can use Wild Swans or When you are old..... Just praying they don't specify Byzantium

Ours were ok. Luckily the head lady didn't walk around too much she made all the tables shake in SC.......

yeh they check everything as you walk in the door so they wouldn't let us take it to the table.

In the past they usually ask you to use two poems or at least 2 but in 2005 they asked for THREE poems so yes they can ask you to use...

I disagreed with the statement. I think I backed it up reasonably but who knows... oh well, it's over now.

Looking at it optimistically, hopefully around 39/45

hated the poem, so did everyone I spoke to after.

Did section I (45 mins), section III (45 mins) and section II said pens down when I was halfway through my last sentence.

I did a memoir, suited my planned story best, just needed to change the beginning and end to suit the memoir theme

I just ran out of time. Did section 2 last, didn't get to finish my last sentence but hey, didn't do too bad timewise, way more worried about Monday for that

Comprhension first, becacause I've just read the texts in reading time Essay Second, So I don't run out of time Creative last because it's planned, I can write it quick and adjust it if I'm running out of time.
