Well my thesis was based on how Spartan women maintained a respected and appreciated status within their society due to their main roles as mothers. Spent a few pages discussing the importance of them giving birth, in which I incorporated the source as an indicator of the athletic training women...

Pompeii and Herculaneum: 90% good, I hated the Contributions question though, it was the one topic I was shaky with Section II Sparta: For the significance of Alcman, I wrote that his 'Maiden Songs' provided an alternate perspective on the Spartan way of life - one that wasn't idealised and...

Ummm Personality: Xerxes a - 3 pages b - 5 pages Historical Period: Greek World 500-440 a - 7 pages

Nah dude, that sounds really really good! At least you actually answered the question haha, I'm sure you're gonna do really well! :biggrin:

When all else fails: blame the teachers

Same here, I discussed how external influences and powers can impact on the disparate behaviours and emotions within an individual - rather than conflict between two different individuals. Fak.

Ibid is mostly for citations in a computer-generated essay or document - not for a hand-written exam. Just do in-text referencing each time like: Pompeii and Herculaneum's sources kill the brain cells of HSC Ancient History students (Lazer) "The plaster cast bodies are mad fun to look at"...

are you a wizard

I loosely based mine on that, but I talked more about the spiritual component than love - DERP

Ehhhhhhh, mine was poorly worded though. It was obvious I'd adapted a pre-written essay haha I actually finished 20 minutes early (somehow) because even though I wrote a fair bit, I talked out of my ass 90% of the time ;___;

Occasion of an ecumenical service for the victims of the HSC tragedy

Yeah they actually refused to do it. They relied on our teachers who were positive the paper would never ask for Deane because it was such a weak speech. I gotta admit, for a moment there I actually scanned the other Mod B questions to see if I could answer them instead haha

That sounds like a pretty strong argument, kinda wish I'd done something like that. Mine was about how perfection can be seen as spiritual fulfilment - something EBB upholds due to Victorian value systems, and Fitzgerald denotes due to spiritual vacuity of materialism during the 1920s. Felt...

Nah, lots of people from my school didn't do it either - it was a pretty nasty question.

How well do you think you guys went? Did "perfection" screw you over? How did you define it? :awesome:

Module A (EBB+Gatsby) - eh Module B (Speeches) - rekt Module C (Caesar) - lol gg

2, 2, and 2 5 pages for Mod A 5 pages for Mod B 6 pages for Mod C So in total, 16 pages of total bullshit

Same here omg. If that extract wasn't there I seriously would've flipped the fucking table.

I'm sure you had a pretty easy time today for Mod B haha

Not necessarily, I got 14/15 for both my mid-yearly and trial Module B essays and I followed that method. Of course you don't only talk about the rhetorical triangle, but it's not that much of a hindrance.
