Ma'am,
Will we be favoured over the others if we get down to writing in paragraphs as opposed to points? Is there an understandability rule against the same as a lot of us are used to attempting papers in points. Me, (deviation ;)) I am way too used to points. Will I score lesser, comparitively, if i stick to this habit of mine?
where will i get the previous year papers for all the subjects especially paperIV

Hi Maam,
I would just like to confirm if it is okay to eliminate the study poetry for Paper I (M.A. Part I). I am prepared in all the other texts, except for Eunice's book and post-colonial poetry and hope they will come as options, and not leave me option-less in the exam. I would greatly appreciate your prompt response.
Cheers.

Ma'am, as you know, your advice was of tremendous help last year. Yet many of us found it tough [at least i did] cos we were rushed for time. This comes with a hope that you will put up on blog how we could go about preparing for this year- part 2 right from now.
I've opted for Indian Translation as paper 8. Plan to spend the Diwali hols collating notes or at least getting some bearings. Hoping to get from you specific guidance like always- choices we have/ and topics we need to give importance.
Thank you and God bless you and yours.

Amiable brief and this post helped me alot in my college assignement. Say thank you you for your information.
Reading these kind of posts reminds me of just how technology truly is undeniably integral to our lives in this day and age, and I am fairly confident when I say that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as the price of memory decreases, the possibility of transferring our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I dream about all the time.

Here is my page :: Papers Please Beta
Hey! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless I'd figured I'd ask.
Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa?
My blog discusses a lot of the same subjects as yours
and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other.
If you are interested feel free to send me an email.
I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!

What paper will I have to attempt in MA English-Part II, if in Part 1 paper 4, I attempt the Ninteenth and Twentieth C. American Literature paper?
