Going back over Mod B with a teacher and I realise that no, my response to the closing stanza of 'the violets' does not inform my judgement of this poem and Harwood's poetry as a whole. Now if only I wrote that in the exam =[

I said that the ending of Hamlet allowed for a nice ending to a play full of existential questioning. Causing the ambiguity of the play to stop and allowing the audience to develop an opinion about the nature of existence and the nature of justice. Is that right?

Nobody did Citizen Kane? N...nobody? Well, okay. I thought this question was quite all right, actually. I mean, the final scene of CK pretty much ties the whole film together, so I could happily just use my prep-prepared themes (power corrupts ideals, truth is indeterminable, cinema = invasion of privacy) and just go "all this is reinforced in the last scene through symbolisation of burning sled / Thompson not finding out rosebud / "No Trespassing" sign."

So, no complaints there. :)

Im hoping for the poem questions that since it said "how does the end stanza of ... " it lets you only talk about the last stanza and compare to other poems you've studied properly. Regardless, poems have to be scaled up cause that's ridiculous; anyone that did Hamlet is fucking lucky.

Gwen Harwood. Seriously.
"The Violets" is a more popular poem so anyone who was trying to stand out and chose harder poems was screwed.

this is what I did but a lot of people in my cohort is saying that you had to analyse the full poem.

you did have to analyse the full poem/speech/essay w/e

it said "make detailed reference to [the mandated text]" so you'd have to talk about more than the concluding things they gave you.

sucks :L

I didn't do Gwen though I did yeats and the question said "how does your response to the final stanza of Among school children ... to the poem or Yeats' work in general" Something like that, making it possible to talk more generally about Yeats' work.

Well if you went into detail and explained them with relevant points supporting your judgement, then yeah. If it was generic and lacking substance, then it wouldn't be of a high standard essay, because it asks you with DETAILED reference to the play.

What would you regard as detailed exactly?
