Okay, KHV!

I have a major MAJOR set of exams next week which, according to my teachers, will define my future.
I dont believe that for a second but whatever
My first exam is English, and I need to know stuff on Frankenstein, Hamlet, and Ted Hughes' 'Birthday Letters'
Hamlet is my top concern though
Any quotes/concepts/things that COULD make me seem really smart-throw them at me!
Please? :)

 

Those notes you copied down in class should help.

 

Yeah, problem is: everyone else in the state has those notes too, and probably all the online ones (great minds think alike, no?)

 

For Hamlet, just remember that "everything is not as it seems:" Hamlet's ambition to kill his uncle progresses up and down between scenes (like he's melancholy in one scene and really passionate about it the next). His previous affiliations with Ophelia may be interpreted both ways too, whether or not they even have had a relationship before. This all may be due to the fact that he's pretending to act crazy or if he really is crazy and realizes such.

And the obvious "To be or not to be..." soliloquy/monologue is good to study.

 

......wha?
You would rather scavenge the internet for information rather then use the info that was directly given to you by your teacher?

 

Hamlet.... gah the longest of Shakespeare's works....
When answering a question about Hamlet, always think about the relationships between the characters, their goals, and how things actually end for them.

 

For Frankenstein, it's important to know the themes of love and acceptance. Also that science may be a good thing, but one must be careful when they try to enter the realm of the Devine. Victor tried to play God by both creating and destroying a human being, which ultimately ended up hurting him. It seems as though ambition and pride was his downfall.

And also bring up Paradise Lost, or at least how it relays to the story; like how the creature first saw himself as Frankenstein's Adam, but he ends up being more of his Satan.

 

1+2=4

 

Thats not what Im saying...I am using notes from myteacher, but seeing as a few hundred throusand people will have the same notes, Id rather seek help from others as well :P

 

Yeah but your teacher probably wants you to answer the questions based on how he/she taught them to you.
The last thing you want is for all of us to give you our info and on exam day figure out that you only needed to know certain specific details. And even worse, not knowing those specific details.
It's like how some math teachers will penalize you for using methods not taught in class

 

But the exam is not set by my teacher, its one of those government ones for the end of school. That's why my teachers are actually like 'THIS EXAM WILL DETERMINE YOUR FUTURE!!!'

 

Not funny.

 

America is a strange country

 

I wasn't trying to be.

 

*Australia

 

Lol if it's not a Regents, SAT, or ACT...I would do my best but not have a heart attack over it. Those are the real tests you need to stress over. You should do well on everything, but sounds just like a regular test to me. If you paid attention during class you'll do fine

EDIT: just kidding I thought you were from America
just ignore first sentence

 

You and I should play some Mortal Kombat together.
But still, regardless as long as you took down notes and did your work throughout class(and payed attention) then you should do fine just reviewing your stuff.
Also most people here are 10 years old anyway so good luck finding info

 

Eh, thats why I wanna live in Mexico better.

 

I hope you're not taking the test

 

No, I just wanted to change the subject.
Btw are you trying to imply something?
