Hey yer i do Emma/Clueless and Antony&Cleopatra.

I think that the Ant and Cleo question was massive broad, which kinda worked for me, but i still dont reckon i did too well... i seem to blab on alot. Emma/Clueless was a decent question not to random. Pretty much what id studied.

Never been too good at english though haha.

What did you think!?

I did Antony & Cleopatra. I ran out of time and only did 3.5 pages :(. It was an easy question though, I probably should have done that one first.

Yeah, I think the broadness of A+C Q kinda freaked me out, and at first I was like, challenged?? how?? omg! but then I managed to pull something outta my ass! haha but yeah i think i waffled a bit as well.

I though E/C was my best section. I think cuase the question was a bit more specific I could structure my response a bit better and make it a bit more concise and coherent.

I love English :)

3 outta 4 units of it all over though! So exciting!!

i started rejoicing silently after looking at the powerplay question. pretty much just wrote my generic word for word.

the emma/clueless question was really annoying! they said to only focus on two aspects where i focus on 3 in my generic. so my module a essay was really short i thought~

I seriously nearly cried when I saw it, with happiness.

The Antony and Cleopatra question was WAY to easy. I was so pissed off when I walked out of that exam because anyone with a basic generic mode of representation & Nature of power, which I'm assuming most people did, could of pulled it off... so everyone could of aced it = HARSH MARKING!i!@&

If you look at all the past papers, the powerplay questions have been really full on and seemingly difficult to decipher to the untrained mind/those who do not truly understand the intricate and delicate nature of power.
Chucked in a generic essay on the representation of power through diferent mediums, the intention/ideology of the composer, the previleged position of the responders and the judgements they make on the nature of power.

Emma/Clueless was fair, I mean all-in-all it was rather straightforward but I think the key to winning this one was picking the right themes and elements and integrating it with the transformation of the texts as mediums of representation.

This paper was way to easy in comparison to others. I'm quite scared of how they'll actually mark it all...
