Had my Words and Worlds exam yesterday, and it went down about as well as could be imagined.
The first question was okay, it was Macbeth and I love Macbeth, I just wish I hadn't been browsing Warhammer fanfiction before hand, I swear, I lost count of the number of times I almost wrote Malekith instead of Macbeth!
Luckily the extract they gave us was interesting, the scene just after Macbeth's murder of Duncan. I just hope it's passable.
The second half was an unmitigrated distaster. I don't care much for Wordworth and skipped a few of the lessons, so I couldn't recall a single poem! The question I picked was to discuss the relevance of the quote 'Poets are storytellers' in context of two or more of the poems we studied. I wrote a short piece about storytelling in poetry in general, with references to William Blake!
I am so goign to fail this, but then, I knew that to begin with.
