and can i answer a single section B past paper question?
no!!!
how is this possible? i stare at the TWELVE past paper questions on Function of Criticism, and none of them seem do-able. (i've been doing readings, believe me) yes, i realize that answering Tripos questions often requires a bit of creativity, but how am i supposed to answer for instance,
"Are universities likely to be good or bad places for the functioning of criticism?"
or "What is the function of the adjective in the phrase "literary criticism"?"
or worse yet,
" 'The replacement of a hermeneutic by a semiotic model, of interpretation by decoding, would represent, in view of the baffling historical instability of textual meanings, a considerable progress. Much of the hesitation associated with "reading' could thus be dispelled.' Discuss."
what the WHAT?!?!

wha...t?
O_O
you know what the scariest thing is? the more i read the 3rd question, the more i begin to realize what it's asking for...and i think i know how i could answer it. as for the other two...no idea still.
that's exactly how i feel!!!
2004 public international law, question 4: "A state is not a fact in the sense that a chair is a fact, a state is a fact in the sense in which it may be said that a treaty is a fact."
made me wonder what these exam writers are smoking...
oh well, that exam's over. and yours will be, too! think of the greener grass on the other side ;)

lol. that's a really cool question though! good to hear that you're done with one. sigh, yes, freedom awaits...
