I kind of feel sorry for those who prepared for all speeches BUT deane :/
(there were a lot of BOSers who did that unfortunately :/)
Also, I believe nobody in my school but me prepared for Deane :/
*not well at least I.e. not looking over it yesterday night lol
So I have a strong feeling that speeches will align really well (better than hamlet even!)

If you are one of those who didn't prepare for it, don't fear! aligning will save you :)

Mod A - Throws away my essay
Mod B - Throws away my essay
Mod C - WTF! What does power got to do with anything

I'm crying with only 900-1000 words per essay so goodbye atar
My questions were specific to a value or theme so fml

What were the questions? (even roughly)
Mod C: The perspective (elective 1) / version (elective 2) that prevails at a given time is a function of power rather than truth. Discuss
Mod B : Gives an extract from your text and every question was about the portrayal of the complex nature of something from that text.

For speeches it was national identity

I thought it was a fair test but having said that I don't think I did great, didn't get to finish mod c and i only had like 3-4 pages per essay compared to those who had 3-4 booklets?! :'(

Module A (Austen) it was okay but I got a little flustered over the wording of the question. Hopefully did enough to at least kind of answer the question

Module B (Ibsen) probably my worst one

Module C (Shakespeare) seriously was short on time for this one. Didn't write nearly as much on this as I did in trials. Probably should have written this one first.
