T.S. Elliot HSC Paper 2 (2 Viewers)

[Wet_Lettuce]

Hey guys,
With the HSC quickly approaching, I was hoping to get everyone’s thoughts regarding whether or not they will specify one of the poems of T.S. Elliot for the essay, or whether it will be left open for us to decide which ones to use

I'm doing John Keats' poems and am wondering the same. I'm leaning towards more open-ended. Do you know if they've asked for specific poems in the past???

They have, at least for T.S Eliot. Hollow Men and Journey of the Magi were specifically asked in 2016 and 2017 respectively.

I would study all poems just in case, but I'm hoping they will be merciful on us too haha. If a specific poem is asked for, I just hope its not Journey of the Magi

Surely with the emergence of a new syllabus they will go a bit easier on us!

Remember this is NESA we're talking about - I sometimes question if they even have souls.
