its just about the natural versus manmade, urban decay and shit yea, modernism. the moon vs the lamp and the lamp is fucking yapping and spitting everywhere (aka industrialisation) and the moon doesn't even get to talk it's just lurking in the sky

its kinda shitass but i went likeeee bergsonian memory works to undermine stability of time --> subverts romantic values throughout the entire poem to critique the despondency of modern milieu. something like that. i dont entirely get it either HAHA
i have to google at least 3 words here

Exactly, both Preludes and Rhapsody are my replacement paragraphs (in case one gets mandated) and I literally just wrote the same stuff for both, just changed up the quotes and analysis

bro idk if im dumb or how tf do u even answer this question for mod a

"composers make the original texts "live" in new ways through knowledge of the past author and reimagining of values and contexts"
cuz wtf u mean knowledge of past author
omg i literally just had a look at that question. idk if im right at all but i thinks just talk about the context of the past author, e.g. religious influences of shakespeares writing for example?

Exactly, the only difference is that preludes emphasises the circularity of time, whilst rhapsody is just about its inevitability + fancy stuff about lunar synthesis

yess but i dont know how i would talk about how composers make the original texts 'live' like ik Pacino does it through his post modern film making/ method acting but idk how to elaborate and write a whole essay on just that

bro same i cant memorise or write that sounds way too smart LMAOO
forget the weird time and memory sucking souls stuff. just do urban decay and talk about the contrast between the manmade (lamp) and the natural (moon). the lamp is given authority and narrates as it sputters and mutters and says this one really fucking long sentence of dialogue. the moon is described in this really ugly (i forgot how- i wanna so something about crooks or wrinkles? idk) as you creep toward the last page of the poem (you can interpret this in whatever way you want - which is good because you can just flip it to answer the question). so the moon is like the victim, the lamp is just stomping over everything and the moon is seen as this evil been with her face crust and evil lunar incantations. idk

straight up i just dont get it LMAO
its about spiritual renewal and transformation. it showcases the struggles that arise with spiritual transformations with references to 'death' meaning like death of old values/beliefs/systems. also shows how individuals feel alienated when they let go of these ideas etc

Yaaa I think it’s quite easy since it’s comparative but my critical study is worth 10% and the others are worth 5% so I’m lowk prioritising
my mod b is 15% and mod a, c and paper 1 are 5%. like my common mod essay was literally 2.5% why did i even try at that point lol
