how many of yeats' poems (1 Viewer)

[speed2]

sorry if this question has been asked already, but how many of yeats' poems must we know? i thought it was three but in last years HSC paper they asked for TWO.
also can they be specific as two which poems we talk about?

You do TWO poems. I would expect them to give you the choice as to which two but you need to be prepared to talk a bit about any of them. Even if you only do two you still need to refer to the whole. If you don't talk about the collection of Yeats' works that we're using for the HSC then it's like doing an essay about King Lear, writing about the last scene and giving the rest of the play no mention at all.

Its is reccomended you use two, and in my opinion you will only have time to write about two. If you need to use more, then use it, as long as your argument is sustained and consistent.

Haha, way to quote Ms Drummond almost verbatim.

We were told to do three. Our teacher marked Yeats last year and said so...so nerrrrr.

Considering it says two on the HSC paper and 2 is the standard number anyway, your teacher licks balls.
