Hey,

it's been a while since I've visited this thread!
Well about one more week to go. I've pretty much finished my Major Work and my Relflection Statement. I've now just been getting critical feedback for it etc. And fixing it up to make it spotless and immaculate. lol, which is near impossible, but it doesn't hurt to strive for it. Not one full stop or comma out of place. lol. It's been a lot of hard work though, and I can't believe we are all so close to the end!

How is everyone else's going? Altogether (mw and rs) my word count is 4242 words. But I'm going to have to fix up my rs a bit so that'll probably change to 4342, because I have space for 100 more words.

Well done Katie for finishing it early! It does relieve a lot of stress. Especially with my trials starting two days which reminds me,, i should start studying english now.

pork, I hope yours is going well and close to finish. What's yours about?

Broken_Jukebox, I'm not sure if there is much point in syaing this now, but let's start it off with this. Your major work was brilliant and I have a lot of respect for your talent and your work. But I have one question. I'm saying this by memory, but you have one poem in your major work (not the one where in your rs you indicate that your are writing about plath), which I am a bit iffy about. It mentions the words, 'morning song', 'gold fat watch', 'balloons', etc. I am a Plath reader, I am very familiar with her poetry and works. It seems that you have employed her imagery, etc, all from one certain poem, and integrated it into your work, without really referencing, indicating that it was from her. I am NOT accusing you of plagirising and copying. We are all influenced and our works are shaped by what we read. I don't know if it was intentional, but it doesn't matter. Nothing can be changed now. I thought I might share my opinion with others.

But anyway, on a lighter note, I'm so glad we've nearly reached the end of the tunnel. Good luck for the rest of the way everyone. oh, and emily, I kept meaning to send you something, but always forgot! I just skimmed this thread again and realised. I'll send you my second poem 'Birth'. hope you get it and enjoy it.
