nah lazybum, it's not just you. i'm in the same boat as you, two english exams down, coming up to my third with Modern. needless to say, i'm not looking forward to it given that i started studying, oh, say, 12 minutes ago

anyway, here are a bunch of SA practice essay topics we were given at school, i haven't attempted any so I'm not sure how useful they are:

Evaluate the role of Nelson Mandela in the anti-apartheid movement up to 1994.

Assess the importance of the Soweto uprising to the development of National Party policy.

Evaluate the significance of the ANC in challenging and ending apartheid in the period 1949-1994.

Account for the growing opposition to apartheid in the 1980s and 1990s.

Evaluate how successfully National Party governments repressed and suppressed opposition in the period 1948-1990.

Assess the extent of opposition to apartheid in the period 1975-1994.

Evaluate the success of both internal and external forces in ending apartheid.

Evaluate the differing experiences of black South Africans in townships and Bantustans under apartheid (this one's got me shitting myself, we better not get one like this on thurs..)

Assess the role played by decolonisation both in establishing apartheid and in its collapse.

Account for the changes in National Party policy on apartheid 1948-1994.

Assess the impact of apartheid on South African society in the period 1949-1979.


and the ones from the catholic trial in case you don't have them were--

Explain the importance of the Bantustans and independent black African states to the success of the National Party government's apartheid policy.

To what extent did decolonisation of Mozamique, Angola and Rhodesia put increasing pressure on white South African governments from 1965? (why the hell did they specify 1965, any ideas?)
