This is my letter to the world, I had been hungry all the years. My school was encouraged to do those two, or either I gave myself to him, or I died for beauty - saddest/sweetest and narrow fellow were less encouraged.
Did anyone else think the essay question fit perfectly?

'This is my letter to the world'
'I had been hungry all the years'
'A narrow fellow in the grass'


Connecting it to the question made me adopt a new thesis, I'm hoping I did it well. >.<

Oh, and getting my answer booklets sorted out after the exam finished (student no. and all those details) was just... Ugh, I couldn't do it right!

I was planning to use all three poems. Considering there was only one piece of additional material I chose to omit one poem.

Mainly 'I had been hungry' and 'this is my letter', but a bit of poem 67 too... now I'm a bit worried 'cos I can't remember it's name :eek: but I used numbers to describe them anyway and I only used it once.. Plus we never have to think about it ever again!!

Oh, that reminds me. Some people at my school thought they could only do the poem associated with the number given on the school ID card. (My school number was the same as the one of the numbers next to the Dickinson poems)

Not sure if they actually stuck to the one poem but it was hilarious hearing them argue that it was the case, that the school ID number was actually the number of the poem we had to write about.

Gutsy? Don't you mean silly :9 Writing on more than 3 poems is risky and FATAL..
