    Instead of how many pages, how many words did you write?

    I write like 5 words per line and I think there are 20 lines per page. So... I wrote... 3800 words approximately. You do the math now.

    Gwen Harwood

    Prize Giving, Glass Jar and Alter Ego. Accidentally did three and finished the essay before I realised the question said at least TWO! *DOH!*

    Anyone wanna take a wild stab at the question for Harwood???

    A context question would be pretty fine. Because one can interpret contexts as the reception of her poetry in different mileus. So like... a feminist reading corresponds to the reception of her poetry in a feminist context.

    Text Types for Paper 2 Advanced

    I wouldn't DO the question if it was a play. SKIP (and never come back)! Well, there goes 1/3 of my paper down the effing drain. LOL

    Was Text 3, Section 1 a Dog or Human??

    Re: The Poem Was About A Dog? Exactly! Even the question gave it away. Didn't the QUESTION say something about return to the town where one grew up or something? Why the heck would a dog come back to where he grew up? That doesn't make any sense! I agree. Either the dog is an extended...

    Were anyone's BOS supervisors really lax?

    Some people have special provisions to give them extra writing time. That may be a reason why people were still writing? We had a few of those. But our examiners were really... clueless. It was like they didn't know what they were doing there...

    Least Favourite Text for section one.

    I didn't mind the 3rd text. Sure it was stupid and just gay and well, cliched to the max. But the question was quite easy. Text 4 was probably my worst. Plus, it had a 4 marker as its question. !@#$! I couldn't find any techniques! Stupid story, stupid mother, stupid stranger. I hate it!

    How much did you write for section 1?

    This may be off topic but anywho: Do you think it's the same for the other sections? i.e. quality > quantity? Just curious... hmm..

    Do u reckon its worth it learning all the poems or episodes of a prescribed text?

    I do Harwood too. And I agree. What a bitch, learning 6 freaking poems. Not even good poems. GAWD. But I'm learning about 3 in detail and the other 3 I'm sort of just wing-ING it. But in case they specify the poems I suppose we should at least know about each of them. I dunno if they're...

    Order of sections?

    I did: Section II, Section I then the essay last.

    How many booklets did you use?

    LOL. Well, can I say that my writing gets quite big? Like... it's about 8 words per line normally. As opposed to... more than 8 for some. :D :D

    memoir, speech or story?

    Yay for the Memoir! Fitted so perfectly with my prepared response, it ain't funny. Just wrote it out and added "Elsewhere" here and there. So perfect. 11 pages of solid gold that might just help me pass English!
  15. M

    How much did you write for section 1?

    I did about 10 pages. But my writing is quite big. Almost like 8 words a page. So I guess that probably would've amounted to 6 pages if I'd written 'normally'
  16. M

    How many booklets did you use?

    I used 6 all up. It was perfect. 2 booklets for each question. And 32 pages of writing altogether. Surprisingly my hand is perfectly alright. That has never happened before.

    In The Skin of a Lion

    hey guys i though that the question was a bit specific. Luckily i had prepared so yeah... This was my interpretation, Patrick's relationship with Clara - allows to him to gain an identity through love Patrick's relationship with Alice - gains political identity Patrick's & the Migrants...

    General Thoughts - English Paper 1 2007

    Hey guys, just wondering how many pages in one BOS writing booklet? SECTION 1 (7-8 pgs): Not terrible but could have been more coherent or organised better, especially last 'compare' question. I didn't see what was so terrible about Text 3, it did have a lot of description and techniques so...
