help help help

 

[Morgan1234pooki]

[Morgan1234pooki]

pleassssssssssssse!

 

[Shadowdude]

Yes, you're stuffed. Because you missed out on like... 95% of what makes the film, a film.

 

[Morgan1234pooki]

it was only one of my additional texts?

 

[Morgan1234pooki]

will it matter as much?

I disagree.

Language techniques are good, they will pay them. Admittedly, it was a film so you will lose a few marks for not taking into account its textual form at all, but you won't go from a 14/15 down to a 7/15 or anything major like that.

can i still get13/14....the whole bit on the film comprised like 1/7th of my essay

Well it means you'll have lots of quotes, and this is an advantage. This will make a minimal difference. It's more important to look at form within your prescribed text: for Dickinson, this means poetic devices: hymnal metre, various rhymes, syllable count. Many people neglect these and use metaphors, similes, oxymorons etc. and these are fine too. It just adds a bit more flair if you can slip in something really 'poetry-ish', but it isn't really essential. You should only worry if the question specifies FORM in its wording, then you need to focus on it to get good marks. Otherwise don't worry about it.

my analysis on dickinson and my other perscribed text was really good....i hope it wont matter

If you analysed the language techniques extremely well, then you may get a pass. If not, you're pretty screwed.

Stop worrying about it, focus on the rest of your exams.

And stop topping up the thread. I sympathise with how you feel, but spamming the forums with your concerns is not the best way to garner an answer/sympathy.

I meant analysis of that text is stuffed, overall - it depends on how much it was in the essay but you can't analyse a film and not mention film techniques.

Stop sulking and move on. You can't do anything about it now.
