well english is all about your own interpretation of the text.. atleast yours will stand out!

same thing happened to us.. we had a sub for 6 weeks who didnt think it was even necessary to read this poem through in class..

the marking is actually done really fairly. my english teacher marks for ex eng and she told us the process: they send an essay around for everyone to mark that they want people to give, for eg, an 18.. if someone gives it like 16.. they say mark easier.. if someone gives it 20, they say mark...

such a releif. i had no idea they had diff marking criteria for all texts! lol!

im not too sure if its different for english than other subjects, but alot of my teachers mark for other subjects and say they really aim to give marks more than take them away.. so sounds like itd be easier marking. just a guess

was it really only 79 last year? our paper, module b paper 2 in particular, was by far the hardest in a lonnnng time, especially compared to last year

only an intro? shittttt that sucks!!

agree!

sooooo crap, right?

haha youve got to be kidding? hamlet is one text. there is a story line that im sure if its anything like any of Shakespeare's other plays has central themes and messages in which he aims to convey through his writing.. i too studied shakespeare for conflicing perspectives and let me tell you...

agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

yessssss i agree completely! i did speeches and it was fucked! however, Frank was great :) along with conflicting perspectives
