You should at least know what each of the poems are about so if you do get a poem you haven't read, you can ramble about the general ideas of it and not completely fail.

yeah maybe If im bothered. I just love playing gambles and being bold like this which probably shoudkbn't be doing. prelims I studied 2 out fo the 4 poems and I got lucky cause they told us to refer to a poem which thankfully I studied. But since I have like 6 poems prepared surely I'll be fine

but since im unbothered and also it's good practice for u, What's the shot and red about

I swear after every term of eng I get lazier and lazier. I swear it's cause of my replacement teacher

The shot is basically about Hughes describing Plath as 'a bullet' fired by the death of her father which couldn't be controlled. Hughes uses this argument to deflect blame about his role in Plath's suicide from himself and claim that he's also a victim of her father (Otto) instead of a perpetrator.

Red was the final poem in Birthday Letters and describes how the colour red (representative of vitality, danger, death etc.) dominated every aspect of Plath's life (physical, literacy etc.), which Hughes uses to reflect on Plath's creative and psychological identity. At the end, Hughes mentions that "Blue was better for you", basically admitting that he never fully understood Plath as a human being.

Everything here is my interpretation of the poems and should probably be taken lightly

btw doing something philosophical for mod c will get u very good marks it worked for me every time in year 12

Did you write a discursive or narrative?

both

 

[enlargedthroat]

what made you return to here then

I come to see resources once in a while.

 

[ottowatta]

Nah creative is chill. I just put in way too much effort for the marks I get

how you doing boss

 

[ottowatta]

Hello there!

I'm doing decent, could definitely be a lot better but surviving.
How are you mate? How are your preparations for AT1 going?

i had my phys task one on wed, which was kinda shitty ngl, i had viet cont task 1 this morning which actually wasn't too bad, and i have eng adv task 1 on tues so im js memorising my base narratives and reflections rn

 

[ottowatta]

What was wrong with physics? I would've thought mod 1&2 weren't too bad? It's fine as long as you've reflected and understood where you went wrong whether it was the studies or the exam itself.

some of the questions kinda threw me off and the graphing was js shit in general, how are you going for ur tasks

 

[ottowatta]

Math is cooked (hence my signature) bio I *should* retain rank or drop by 1 (the story of that is stupidly silly) and art I'm r1 for this test but r3 overall but hey I'm 1 percent under r2 and 3 percent under r1 + I came up from r5 so its doable

straight dubs

 

[ottowatta]

What specifically threw you off? Relative velocity, tension questions?

it was some tension stuff that had a bunch of components to figure out, also literally a basic graphing question i mulled over for like 5 mins cos i couldnt decide whether the line was straight or curved LOL

 

[ottowatta]

Yeah but math overshadows everything. My failure was a due to the fact that I didn't study well for 1 topic for some reason so that cooked me. And it was an easy test asw I could see that but some questions were just out of my grasp so its all my fault but for the last few days ive been revisiting stuff and if I took the test now I could at least get 80

ay your chill bro, as long as your doing good enough in the other stuff it should hopefully scale nicely for you. also, if you got any mod 5 and 6 rss, pls slide cos i need practice on ts

 

[ottowatta]

lol its just that you break the question up into steps and keep noting/highlighting information. Even though it'll take longer its better to do that than get confused over things like that

yeah thats valid

 

[ottowatta]

Physics? I have SOOOOOO MUCH OF THAT STUFF

mod 5 and 6 for all 3 sciences if thats possible

 

[ottowatta]

Well, I don't do chem anymore so I'll have to see and bio+phys I should have stuff

tyty!!!

 

[No_Kaeya?!]

I WAS GONE FOR A FEWQ HOURS WHY IS THERE LIKE 8 MORE PAGES.
