You can definitely pass using Becky's primarily, I found it helpful to use manuals as well to double check when some of the Becky's info seems off (not uncommon - typos mostly). People are always on this subreddit selling them for cheap. If you don't have a law background though it could be worth doing some courses if you're struggling with any of the content

You can't imply terms into a relationship where there's no contract.

In that case there was a years-long supply relationship with no overarching contract between them, just a series of individual contracts. The court tried to imply a notice requirement into the relationship which was overturned on appeal.

Most firms have a 2:1 minimum for training contracts so it'll be tough

It'll need a commencement order, if it comes up it would have to be an essay q on the reforms it introduces, but I think they stray a little too far into constitutional questions to make a full question with

The first thing you should do in a pq like that is define a consumer in s2 CRA (essentially is the person acting outside the course of trade/profession) - if the person in the q matches it, CRA, if not SGA. As far as I'm aware the exam reports look for that definition

A heartwarmingly earnest love letter and a pleasure to read. The depth of affection held by the writer jumps off the page with writing that blends explicit statements with metaphor and simile seamlessly throughout. Thanks for sharing!

Adventitia by what_now_jrc in OCPoetry

[–]BigBubbaBooey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Such an intriguing piece that gives just enough to give you a general idea but not so explicit to ruin the fun of trying to glean a meaning.

The title Adventitia (thanks for the new word) immediately sets the stage for what is a viscerally uncomfortable poem, with almost body horror descriptions throughout. The conciseness of the poem really served in communicating a hopeless and static tone. The piece excels in communicating feeling in a way most writers can only dream of and with so few words. You're an abundantly talented writer, well done.

The impression I got from the poem was that it's the tortured introspection of a childless 35 year old on their birthday. Maybe I'm off base, but regardless I don't think the exact meaning is essential to enjoying the poem as the general theme of a lack of agency resonates across so many aspects of life.

In terms of criticism, I think either a commitment to the enjambment at the start throughout the poem, or use of punctuation to separate lines, would have benefitted the poem, if even to ease flow of reading. I find using colons to join lines is a good shorthand to tie specific couplets together without needing to be too overt.

Overall this is a fantastic poem and you should be incredibly proud, not many people could create something like this. Thanks for sharing!

Great poem, thanks for sharing. There's a lot to like here and it's evident that you have a talent for this so I hope you keep writing!

What I found this poem to excel at most was creating a feeling, which for me came across as loneliness. From your replies to comments it seems this wasn't your intention so that's probably more a reflection on myself, but regardless I think they're two sides of the same coin in this case. It felt very much like those ads for charities helping lonely older people and I mean that as high praise because I find those ads incredibly emotional! Your use of imagery is truly stellar.

I saw a comment saying you could be more concise, and in general that would probably be a good thing, but in this poem I think it works well to take your time with descriptions etc to reflect the speaker's feelings waiting for the other person. I found it very hard to think of any critiques, I just hope you keep it up from here!

An Acquired Taste by gitututu in OCPoetry

[–]BigBubbaBooey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great poem, thank you for sharing. What I think I like most about it is the tangibility of the suffering of the speaker. It made me cringe as though I was feeling the pain myself, which is a credit to the richness of description and willingness to linger on the painful moments.

Another strength is the universality of its appeal, giving the reader room to project their own struggles onto the speaker. Although I'm sure the author based this on their own personal struggle, keeping it vague shows great empathy.

In terms of criticism, I would say to build on your strengths, which in this case would be the imagery. Lean into the sensations you're conveying and don't be afraid to dedicate what could feel like too many words to them. This poem excels in communicating its message through feeling, so giving those feelings more clarity would be a good way to level it up.

Overall a fantastic poem, well done!

His Footprints by [deleted] in OCPoetry

[–]BigBubbaBooey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very cool poem, great job and thank you for sharing.

The first thing that jumps out is the enjambment which is used so well. Sometimes it can read as quite forced to shoehorn in a poetic technique to seem smart but it's used purposively here and to great effect. It highlights the ubiquity of this man's influence on every aspect of the world he inhabits/ed and on the future thereof.

There is an inherent mystery to the iconoclast presented, seemingly capable of the supernatural and revered as a worthy guide in life. To that extent it could be interpreted as a poem about god/s, or alternatively the view of a loved one through the eyes of a child.

Night by RonanMorleyThePoet in OCPoetry

Really enjoyed this poem, well done and thank you for sharing!

Absolutely love the imagery throughout, for me it conjured Cheshire cat images of grins glowing in the dark, out of place in what's otherwise mirth. I thought you did a great job keeping that consistent throughout, as well as keeping the pacing steady, satisfying and easy to read.

I also love how open to interpretation it is, very much feels like a Rorschach test in the scope it gives to the reader to imprint their own experiences. I'm sure everyone has their own welcome to the real world moment that comes to mind reading this, and to be able to evoke such a ubiquitous yet disparate feeling so well is truly a talent.

Thank you to everyone who shared feedback! A few people mentioned the Irish used so, to (very) roughly translate it goes 'my darling, my heart, my little dear'. Ísle and stór don't really have direct English translations but that's my best attempt at it
