...well it helped us i suppose. We were terrible spartan hoplites, the majority of us were giggling at the idea of being spartan warriors, and some had their spears confiscated.

i disagree... his greatest accomplishment was his damn building program which he took tradesmen from all over the empire forcing them to leave their family behind. also he imposed heavy taxation for both this and his war scheme (which was to put it blunty an epic failure). also two years before...

we learnt about the phlax formation the best way... we borrowed javelins from p.e and got to be spartan hoplites on the oval, you have to be compacted together and only the first two rows have their spears up while the other rows push you forward. also you cover your neighbour with your shield...

everyone losses their dignity some way during the hsc... but talking about the simpsons in pride and prejudice... that's talent. it will be a funny story one day. you'll laugh. (give it a few years.... and you'll laugh)

i found year 12 easier because i dropped 4 units and picked up extension 2. the other two units, french beginners and modern history, were by distance. Distance education are for those who dont get distracted easily. but then with year 12 there is an extra bit of stress, EVERYTHING COUNTS...

skull beneath the skin is a weird choice for the crime genre. Her other novels arent that bad. BUT skull is a try ahrd attempt to modernise the locked room mystery, the who dunnits and all the lovable conventions of the golden age... which should stay in the golden age. we have arguements in...

dracula... or really any "true" vampire represents the taboos of society. Texts like dracula allow people to talk about this taboos in a more acceptable manner. that's what i learnt from Dracula. he embodies the taboos of the context, for example in Stoker's day, there was a large fear of...

i went to the manly production... i thought it was pretty good. okay so i was bummed that they didnt use any props (for example the way they did Dolcie's bird was just ridiculous). and i didnt like their adaptation of Veronica either. but everything else i thought was pretty good about it... it...

we had our drama night a week ago, havent gotten the marks back yet. our group performance did well, my ip not so well. My IP was the first performed straight after the groups, and i hated it even more so cos i was the first ot make a dickhead of myself by myself. I wrote my ip and it was...

That makes so much sense! especially Dawn. one thing i love this text is that it has so much meaning and symbolism-

I've been told that to get onto onstage you need to impress the judges on the day (the hsc drama day) and you also have to get over 90 in drama. you are then given an audition form, which you fill out and send a hardcopy of your performance where it will be judged again and the best performances...

In the play the beauty queen of Lennane, i'm a tad confused, in scene four does she kill her mother or not? cos when i read it i thought her mother had just died but a classmate swears that Maureen kills her. Is Mag's death left open to interpretation, or is it suppose to be obvious? to me it...

hey I was just browsing through posts (or whatever they are called) and i saw the "GP and IP" one that you posted in. (i need ideas for drama for this year,)Was your group performance perhaps performed at onstage? there was a group that did a similiar sort of thing, there, if it was, can I say...

I have to ask, was anyone freaking out going, how on earth can I make a performance like that? maybe that was just me... I went to session 2 of onstage and I really loved the "oh Dad, poor dad one" I loved how he could just change the atmosphere of the room in the first 10 seconds he was on...

i really enjoy the crime fiction genre. except for the set texts anil's ghost and pd james. I'm glade i came on here, the majority of my class loved pd james... i thought it was the driest read, it was trying to modernise the golden age crime fiction which was good back in the day... also it...

we are the only class doing dickinson, the others are doing Skrzynecki. and they had the chance to go to a lecture by him explaining his poems! one thing i have done for her poems is just stating that she shows belonging through alienation, the lack of belonging. i like her, i think her poems...

OORR give me a few questions... or you can...

i love year 11 for the fact that you can make as many mistakes as you need to. i'm not top in anything but i am going better then i thought i would be. plus my marks are just filled with room for improvement. english 12th in the year but 8th in the half yearlies maths 8th in the year 6th in the...

i prefer to have a little stress then none as when you are not "on your toes" in an exam thats when you make the most stupidest of mistakes. the main time that stress actually sucks is in class speeches. ewww speeches. so i'm half agreeing but also disagreeing. hope that makes sense
