I think the advice can be interpreted as shouldn't. (with a million underlines and explanation points)
If you did poetry, it would have to be epic poetry because you'd need to write about the same you would for short story/feature article etc...and it would have to be brilliant poetry, thought up on the spur of the moment, relating to the stimulus texts. Since no-one can do this, people who do poetry in the creative section might as well just write "Please give me 2/15 for this section" on their paper. It's like people who use text speak in their essays, it's just a little warning to the examiners that their essay will be crap.
Anyway I liked the question for section II and, did I get this wrong, but I didn't put the quote at the beginning...I kind of focused in on "ruined voice" and put the quote in after all the opening stuff. Do you think that matters? Because I used the information contained in the quote as a stimulus...but since I did not write about an old man (a 41yr old and a 16year old in fact) and nobody died in the end maybe I'll get extra marks anyway
