You guys realize that the HL TZ2 poem was easier than the SL TZ2 one? I would've chose the HL poem if I had the choice

I don't understand the IBO really..

What was the HL poem?

Most HL people in my class chose prose though..

this was it: http://india.poetryinternationalweb.org/piw_cms/cms/cms_module/index.php?obj_id=2821&x=1

yeah I don't know maybe the prose was also easy... but it's just weird personally I think the HL poem is easier than the SL one..

I don't understand the IBO really..

Agreed, full stop.

I felt that the poem for SL was good, it had a lot of space to interpret it in different ways so in that sense i found it really easy to discuss and explain my own interpretation.

[zicrayfish]

i did the poem on Piano and Drums

i talked about how he was raised in the Jungle, and how his mother got killed and how his emotions

matched the drums and piano. Like how he recalled his mother being killed by the panther or leopard.

im pretty screwed though, i feel. Nothing like what the poem was discussed on here.

Could i get penalized on my intepretation, although i had evidence to back

up my points.

Anyone thought the same way

[pomoni]

I think you can write pretty much anything as long as you have evidence, and you say you do so I guess nothing to worry about!

i did the prose and messed up with a lot of my terminology!!! i called hyphens dashes .

but i talked about characterisation as in the way juliet wrote revealed both her and rob's character and i analysed how she did this using the literary features and the styles she adopted in her letter ...do that make sense?

[pomoni]

Yeah I guess... I barely found literary features to be honest. And I called the dash "caesura" and now I'm sure that's wrong as well (I think this name is used for poetry only) but well it's over now!
