Thank you so much. I got an A* in both my english exams and you really helped.

[kingalawi1]

mr davies is the best english teacher i've ever seen

[felicity907]

thankyou SO much for this! its helped so much you cannot believe!

are you going to be uploading any more videos before tuesday? i really need a hand with the literature poems and have absolutely no idea what i'm doing... you've been an absolute life saver so far so i would LOVE if you could do some videos from the literature paper! :)

[idontgive2craps]

Good video thanks!

Jeez all these comments below are reminding me that thousands of people are taking the exam tomorrow, very daunting!

good luck people.

[chickenluveerrr]

@idontgive2craps Good Luck!!

[IReadyForWarI]

Paper 2 is tomorrow which is 'poems from different cultures' therefore I am back on these videos revising and making pages and pages of notes.. Anyone else?

[StarDust0213]

@IReadyForWarI I'm doing the exact same :L Though my teacher things vultures is gonna come up as it's the last year aqa is doiong this spec and they've never had it in one of the question before

[IReadyForWarI]

@StarDust0213 Lucky I've revised that one then ;)

[chickenluveerrr]

@StarDust0213 I'm doing the AQA paper too, also scribbling down bunches of notes :P

ALL of the English department think it will be "What were they like?"

Your comment has given me hope! I REALLY hope it will be vultures.

[StarDust0213]

@chickenluveerrr Too bad 2 scavs came up, :P i opened the paper and thought ".......shit" though i didnt think it went too badly, Dreading Lit on tuesday though, AH!

[chickenluveerrr]

@StarDust0213 ! I also opened the paper and thought..."ohmygod", the one I actually didn't revise for because we were told it was soo unlikely to come up haha. It went okay I guess but just gotta look ahead now, dreading results xD Glad yours went okay!

For the Lit , I am so not gonna make the mistake of listening to the teachers predictions xD, like Vultures and WWTL. I'm gonna prepare for all, soo unpredictable and could do without that scare of seeing the one poem I didn't prep :P GOOD LUCK

[StarDust0213]

@chickenluveerrr Ha thanks :) and you! i'm sure you'll ace it :D Thing is, there's SO much more to learn for lit! and then the whole "compare 4 poems at once" it's like AH! my teacher hasnt even taught us how to do that, so hopefully the part a and b ones will be easy - although i dont like the idea of doing 2 essays in 1 hour either -.- and i havnt even looked over my "Of Mice And Men" book. Oh Joy :L

[chickenluveerrr]

@StarDust0213 I revised poetry wayy too much, and I totally killed the Of Mice and Men question...in a bad way xD I read it wrong and realised after, too late to change! xD Poetry went fantastic though, was definitely happy with the poem choices, good job its worth more marks haha, we didn't do much on of Mice and Men essays though so it was a bit like throwing ourselves in the deep haha. So glad English is over! 14 more exams to go! hahah - How'd yours go?

[antboy18]

Why don't I get good English teachers like you?

[YOUNGDON72]

@ helpmemrdavies this is the perfect poem for me, but i'm stuck because ive got to compare another poem that relates with this and it's culture, and i need another poem that relates to this from pages (5-18 on the anthology book 2008 onwards) PLEASE HELP ME

[YOUNGDON72]

this was so help full thank you very much

[AgentAlbert33]

wow this has helped me

[murrayz3k8]

maybe the blossoms could mean not children but the culture of the young generation was destroyed by the war so they did not know about this celebration anymore.

[Abominatrix650]

At the time of this comment, you have had 1914 views, the year of another war. This (like all the other poems I've made this connection to so far) unintentionally relfects the Earth/Pandora war...only Pandora won!

[theknome12]

[EleanoreFFMcCann]

This man has saved me from failure!

[Emotron1000]

You have acctually saved my gcse. Thanks haha

[AdiosKateos]

my teacher suggested that it was spelt 'Viet Nam' to imply that an American (possibly someone with authority due to the use of 'sir' on line 10 - the first answer) as that is how they pronounce it. she said that this may have been used to show how the Americains didn't know much about Vietnam.

if i were to use that in my exam would it get a mark or not?

i suppose it would as it is an interpretation...

[HorseCrazyDaisy]

@AdiosKateos Yeah, you should get marks for that as long as you explain your point properly, it's definately going in my coursework now, thanks :)
