1000 word Essay for Government&Politics. It is already heavily overdue so help would be appreciated.

To what extent do you think that there was a Post War Consensus?

Help would be appreciated, as I missed the classes where this was covered, so any help would be great, if not than Thank-You anyway.

"It has been said of Enobarbus that he "understands everyone but himself". Discuss Shakespeare's handling of the character of Enobarbus and examine how he uses the role to emphasise the main themes of the play.

In your answer you should include a close examination of Act I, scene 2 (l.131-198), Act II, scene 2 (l.177-251), Act III, scene 13 and Act IV, scene 6.

Arghhhhh!

Your english teacher hates you Jess lol, all your questions have been waaaay harder than ours! Ew! I don't know where I'd begin! Perhaps with Eno's little sumaries he makes and the advice he gives Ant etc and then his traitorous descision and how that leads him to die from heartbreak?! I doubt that's any help, you've probably finished it?!

[Jess]

^^ Katie, I have already finished it, but it's good to get advice; it reassures me that we're both thinking along the same lines! And yes, I suspect my English teacher does hate us! And she's a really harsh marker, so if you get an A from Mrs. Leech, you know you've done the impossible!

I got a C on an English paper today, because the teacher didn't think I "answered to the given task", but I disagree.

Would this be the right place to post it so people can tell me their opinion?

And also:

In my paper I was going to write "Let us go" but I decided to make it "Let's go".

Then my friend said it was "Lets go" without the apostophe (I sure spelled that wrong), so I changed it.

But then my teacher corrcts me, and says it's supposed to be "Let's go" but my friend still disagree?

Could anyone please tell me what the right answer is?

[Jess]

Yep, this is the right place to post it for people's opinions...

And yes, you're right...it should be 'let's go' (it's a shortened form of 'let us go' and you need the apostrophe in there to denote that there are missing letters).

Thanks! I'll post the essay later, but my computer died yesterday, (I'm using the family computer) so I will need to get that fixed first..

I hate it when that happens! I used to get that all the time in English Lit. and I still get it now! What was the paper on?

Yep, it's definitely "Let's go". You were right.

I've dropped from A to C and C- in English and Norwegian this semester, thanks to new teachers

I have some more questions for you after having several more discussions with my teacher today:

1. The sentence is "The ghosts appeared on the scene"

Isn't it supposed to be either "Yhe ghosts appeared IN the scene" or "The ghosts appeared on the STAGE"?!! I could be wrong, but I find that first sentence very weird...

2. The sentence is: "In TV-shows a..." (no point in writing the entire sentence) I was so sure you couldn't say IN TV-shows or IN TV... Cause at the beginning of an episode of shows like One Tree Hill they always say "Previously ON One tree hill..."

Can anyone tell me if I'm right or wrong? And if you can use both, please give me examples.

3. The sentence is "I compare myself with a movie star"I'm not sure at all about this, but I sure sound better to say "I compare myself TO a movie star", can you use both TO and WITH in this sentence?

[Jess]

1. Yeah, you're right; that first sentence is very weird!

2. You can say either. "In TV shows, many characters..." or "Previously on One Tree Hill...it kinda depends on the context...I'll edit this post when I'm more awake and can explain it better...

3. You can say either. But, it's a comparion sentence, so I guess it would be more grammatically correct to say "with", but many people nowadays say "with". I guess it's just an evolution of language.

I hope that's helped! If you have any more questions, ask, and I'll do my best to help!
