Twas ok. I mean, being in advanced its certainly not as daunting as tomorrow, plus there is a tonne more time!

Short answer was ok, but the poem was hard, I still have no idea what it was really saying.

Section II was ok, had to think about it a bit, but was quite specific asking for stimulus reference AND a focus on "place", killing any "people" options, sort of.

Last question was ok, fairly generic :\

I completely BS'ed it. I had no idea what the poem was about. I said that in the last stanza, the "tantalising and sensual imagery" of nature invokes a sense of belonging to place, i.e. nature... and a bunch of other techniques. AmIright?

I did the same thing :D I said that nature imagery is created through various techniques*stated techniques with examples* because of this it portrayed the mushroomer as belonging to nature

Essay 7.5 pages

Section I was okay. I finished with exactly 40 minutes.
I think the mushroom poem was about a guy who goes to this place to pick mushrooms. But when he came, it was all isolated and cold from winter but then in the end he realises that it is actually a place where he belongs. Thats how I interpreted it. For the images, I just said the tactile winter imagery used in stanza one conveys a sense of isolation and not belonging. Just pretty much expanded on that.

Section II was good. It was about place. My story fitted right in - thank god.

Section III was also good. I wrote like 7 pages. I think it was pretty accessible not entirely difficult.

My hand hurts after that. Now I'm fucked for tomorrow - paper 2.
