EN202 Examination

This exam was in November 1989. I has just joined a new, smaller general practice and was struggling with a government subject as well, an embarrassment about which more anon.

There were four questions of which three needed to be attempted based on passages from poetry.

I attempted to comment on Dryden’s “Absalom and Achitophel”,  Pope’s “The Rape of the Lock” and Thomas Gray’s “Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard”.

Whatever was required to get a mark above the 5 (7 being the highest) I received for the course was either beyond me or was not going to happen with the lack of time I had inflicted upon myself.
