I have my GCSE Literature paper 2 in the morning and have not done any revision due to procrastination from my ADHD, and this video helped me get some late night revision that I found incredibly useful. You went at a fast yet steady pace and I retained everything you said and can remember a majority of the quotes and poems- since I had forgotten most of them. Thank you so much- I feel much more confident now!

[cupcakeme]

Thank you so so much for this video! The exam is next week so this video is so helpful to refresh my memory before doing some plans and practices of questions. Thank you again!

[MiaThornton-oezp]

In my opinion, the top two poems to revise are Ozymandias- power of nature, people and corruption, and then Bayonet Charge- conflict, effect of conflict on people, power of governments. But it's better to remember 2 to 3 quotes from each poem, the opening, one in the middle, and one at the end. You can also use the names of the poems in your analysis too if you forget everything else!!!
