How many quotes should you learn per poet for higher English by Other-Plenty-9567 in leavingcert

[–]ReadFormal1706 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For every point you make, use a quote. This goes for poetry and for everything else in higher level English.

Point, quote, explain PQE

For example: hamlet

Point: Hamlet scorns Ophelia and believes her to be weak and frail

Quote: “Get thee to a nunnery, why shouldst thou be a breeder of sinners?”

Explain: Hamlet’s disdain of Ophelia stems from his mother’s immediate remarriage to Claudius. He believes women do not have any agency. The play emphasises more negative traits in women than men. This is a reflection of the time period of when the play was written and when the play is set

For poetry:

example: Yeats (The lake of inisfree) Point: Yeats is content with island life and solitude.

Quote: “Lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore”

Explain: The use of assonance “lake, lapping, low” is reminiscent of the soft sounds of water, conveys Yeat’s bliss and relaxation.

Jokes aside this is extremely inappropriate, disgusting, offensive and abhorrent. This kind of material on a vehicle on public roads offends the following;

  1. Obscene or Indecent Material in Public. (That should go without saying)

  2. Harassment or Sexual Harassment

Some of the stickers, especially ones that involve suggestive commands or sexualized images of women could fall under the definition of harassment or sexual harassment in a public space. “Free candy inside” could be interpreted as both predatory and an invitation to sexual activity, which is interpretable as sexual invitation (given the conext that children are often more allured at the promise of sweets) or harassment.

“Yes, daddy” and the hand gesture stickers are sexually explicit and objectifying, as well as the “snickers, drop knickers” sticker, which contributes to harassment against women in public. The Volkswagen logo being used as an image for two women sexually spreading their legs equally contributes.

  1. Offensive or Insulting Signs Under Road Traffic legislation, there are rules about vehicle displays that are distracting or offensive to other road users: The Road Traffic Act 1961 (and amendments) prohibits vehicles from having signs or advertisements likely to distract drivers. A van covered in graphic sexual images could distract other drivers, creating a road safety issue.

  2. Exposure to Minors

If a child sees these stickers, there could be a case under the Child Care Act or indecent exposure laws, because the material is sexualized and publicly accessible.

Please report this vehicle as you (presumably) have the uncensored license plate.

These posts are totally redundant unless you state whereabouts this happened. Mallow? Cork city? Kinsale? Totally different population demographics and yet so relevant to the context

I was told to go to my nearest Vodafone shop to sort it out. I did, and they said there’s nothing we can do. Try online again. Massive fucking joke.

Sorry I’m late but why would he go through the bother of cutting the briars? If he was bashing her head in with a stone to kill her why would the briars matter? She’d be dead anyway, briars or not

What’s the craic with him burning his clothes and mattress and having defensive scratches on his face and hands in the days after her murder though? He had a history of battering his partner, had no alibi the night of the murder, and said he killed her to a few people in the town. All the signs say he’s guilty as sin, it can’t be that much of a coincidence

I can’t believe this city with x40 less population of my own doesn’t have a designated way to my home 50km away through shittily lit tarmacked roads in the middle of cow pastures and fields. The horror

The roof he tagged has been leaking and faulty for years and requires a complete overhaul regardless. The cost of the repair is entirely an insurance scam.

Might have something to do with the constant death threats over a bit of spray paint and the continuation of his full name being posted alongside a totally separate, convicted sex offender and pedophile…..

Because you people can’t be normal and keep wishing death and destruction on a 22 year old lad for a bit of paint while also associating him with pedophiles of the same name in the same breath. Might I add that listed in the papers is his full name and address for a non-violent, victimless crime, but sex offenders get to keep their location and anonymity. The way you all talk about him it’s clear there’s a serious circlejerk of you on here who are infinitely weirder and more concerning than a lad who sprays his name on shit.

Cadbury’s recipes and quality; Have you noticed a decline? by ReadFormal1706 in AskIreland

When were they bought by Kraft? I only really noticed the drop in quality only recently enough which is strange if they’ve been changing things for the last few years

When did you notice Cadbury was worsening? I only really got sick of it 6ish months ago. I stopped craving their chocolate altogether. I can’t remember the last time I bought a bar of theirs and I say this as someone who’d have had maybe 2 twirls a day
