    Hard Probability question

    Um - is that a typo? Coz I keep getting 6/7. Did you do it with replacement? Because I'm doing without, and I'm pretty sure its right - we had a question like this in our half-yearly.

    Have you cried yet?

    Well, my maths homework can sometimes reduce me to tears, but not other school stuff. Usually its just the little things that tip the scales, after a really bad day. E.g., the last time I cried was a month ago, when I'd had a crap day, I was getting sick, and it wouldn't stop raining...

    Half-Yearly Reports

    Actually, it's from two assessments - critical response on journeys last year, and speech on telling the truth for half-yearly. So obviously, it's not impossible - maybe I'm just good at english?? But I'm not expecting a final mark of 100 - that would be naive.

    Lol - that was the BEST PART!! He stopped in the middle, and screamed - "Am I interrupting your f***ing conversation???" I think we should use that as a direct quote!

    king lear and context

    It basically means - how different societies, with our different values and opinions, would receive the same text. For example, the traditional view of women in Shakespeare's time was that for them to have power was unnatural, whereas feminist critics argue that today, this idea is completely...

    Can somebody please help me out??

    Was that a rhetorical question, or you want real advice?? Know your text reasonably well, but focus only on the parts you know you're going to use. Example, for King Lear - know the two/three themes you'll talk about, and all their techniques/examples/quotes. That's it. The hardest part is...
