NOV11 English SL Paper 1, 2

[faith]

How did you guys find the paper?

I did the prose for paper 1 because I didn't really understand the poem (It usually takes me some time before I get a poem and I didn't want to waste heaps of time on that)Because most people at school seemed to have done the poem, I don't have many people to compare my interpretations with. I think the main message of the prose is to do with passing on an experience to someone else.

I think the questions in paper 2 were generally ok. I really liked the one about setting.

I did prose also I never do poetry though, can't get it through my head. It was okay, I talked about the tension between the man and Duncan (thought it was interesting that the man didn't have a name) and the loss of love.

I didn't like paper 2 - I have no idea how I did! I did the marriage/single question

[faith]

Yea I point out the fact that the narrator doesn't have a name either. Except I didn't know whether the narrator is a male or female so I just called the narrator a she.

omg I did the prose too!! I loved that passage

But I think I ran out of time towards the end and my conclusion was a tad... "sketchy" haha. But it was good over - all.

I just wish it was good enough to score a 20 + in. If I want a 7 in English, my commentary needs to bring up my "not so awesome" essay.
