What is the meaning of:
"I am content; so he will let me have the other half in use, to render it, upon his death, unto the gentleman that lately stole his daughter"
-Antonio in Act 4 Scene 1
Does it mean that Shylock was given half of his wealth by Antonio?
OR, Does it mean that Antonio can use Shylock's wealth anytime?
OR, Does it mean that Antonio will keep that wealth and give it to Lorenzo upon Shylock's death?
or is there some other meaning?

Hello People!

So, I'm here with a post again. Well, first things first. Please note that this is only for those people who are truly determined to do well in tomorrow's exam. Trollers, please don't waste your wit on me.

 There's been a flood of questions asking the stories which can be left, or which are not important. I have already told you the ones which are most important, and I also told you NOT TO LEAVE THE REST, since you can never be sure with these things. Also, this is the last time you have to study these, so why not give it your everything?
I say, you still have enough time. Even if you have left some stories or poems or scenes, don't worry. You have enough time to at least read through them and their workbook material ONCE. English is the thing that has turned ordinary students into toppers, and made toppers mourn their results. So, it is best to be prepared for the worst. You guys had lots of time, and most of you must have utilised it well. Even if you didn't, you CAN make amends now. Get set to dig deep, study hard, leave nothing, and (CLICHE ALERT) Rip through that paper!

Here are some tips to help you tomorrow:

1) Write to the point. Now, most people misinterpret this. They think that this means giving single line answers. NO. This means NO BEATING ABOUT THE BUSH. Whenever you see a question, make a mental note of the keypoints, and then structure your answer around them. Mince no eloquence or words while explaining your answer, but don't go blabbering. For eg, if the question asks about Bassanio and Antonio's relationship, then keypoints would be mutual trust, indomitable friendship, sacrifices, and two/three more such points. Then explain these points giving suitable examples, and put in a couple of sentences showing off your vocabulary in between. Again, don't hesitate to explain as much as required, but be aware of the fine line that separates explanation from overdoing it.

2) Prepare a few beautiful sentences for each poem, which are such that you can fit them into any answer of that poem. For eg, in the case of The Professor, you can prepare a sentence or two, eloquently describing the inherent satire and irony, and the hypocrisy portrayed by the man. Such a sentence can be included in one of your answers, and will suit it easily. It'll also give an impression of your vocabulary. Do take some time out for this, it helps a lot!

3) Keep the paper as neat as possible, and please underline the main points of your answer,i.e., the keypoint around which your answer is stuctured. If possible, do it in black. Believe me, it helps a lot, as you don't want the examiner to get lost in your whirlpool of words, and miss out the main point!

4) Select your questions intelligently. If you are CONFIDENT that you can write the 16 mark-er well enough to get at least 14, and also have a doubt of more than 2 marks in any extract, attempt the 16 mark-er. Otherwise, its a no-no.

5) Manage your time well. I used to keep aside max 50 minutes for Shakespeare (if I had selected to do both the extracts), because it needs truly well written answers. Then, I would do the poems and stories a bit faster, each in an average of 15-20 minutes. This would give me 10 minutes for revision, which are more than enough. Remember that if you are attempting the 16 mark-er, set aside 25 minutes for it, if you want to write good enough for 14.

6) Go in with a calm head, and don't let any negative people be around you: shush them off! Remember that a calm mind gives the best results!

So, that's it for today. I sincerely hope you guys do wonders tomorrow, and on the results day, English is the subject which gets no blames!!!

And remember: "Only YOU can change your destiny, no one else can do it for you."

God Bless!
