    1 very quick question about english papers

    It depends what the question asks; it might say to 'use this a basis for your story' or 'use this as the central idea in your story'. My trial simply said 'include this in your story' so I mentioned it once, and that was all.

    It depends on the second part of the question. It might say - Include this as the basis of your piece - Use this as a central idea for your piece - Include this somewhere in your piece - Use this as the first sentence of your narrative. Etc, etc.

    Belonging intro/definition

    Many, many agrees. My intro said something like, belonging is an achievement of oneself, refers to the sense of inclusion one feels toward people, groups, community, etc. My intro sucks though :spin:

    Memorising quotes

    Yeah I don't reference quotes in my essay much at all, I do it for Hamlet most of all. In drama it's a massive thing though, and if a quote came out of out Act 3, scene 1, I call it 31 and make a song out of it hahaha.

    Well if you've deleted and thrown out everything that reminds you of him... next step would be girl time, I suppose. Hang out with your lady friends, go hottie spotting and partying, just have fun. Make out with a few guys if it makes you feel better. Forget about him, you're way better than he...

    Another Hamlet Question.

    Yeah I was stuck with that one, too. So I thought back to my drama essays and I thought about setting - comparing the Bell Shakespeare production to Kenneth Branagh's movie. And the language? I think you just put everything else under the 'language' umbrella haha.
