    Class of 2010: Eng Ext 2 Roll Call

    If you want to write something with dense philosophical background then you need to have your research down to pull it off. That means scouring big, heavy, dusty books and reading a lot of texts that explore the same ideas. If you haven't got background in reading existentialist texts then...

    Agitated, can't keep still and sit down for long periods, harder to sleep soundly. Harder to concentrate. Look out the window a lot imagining exercising.

    Here's an interesting question.

    Do you mean smoke marijuana regularly throughout hsc year? Cos smoking it once or a few times really wouldn't damage your performance. Or do you mean during the exam period cos then you're chances of failing probably sky rocket.

    Girl forced to change school beacouse of hair color!

    This is totally normal. My school has make-up and nail polish remover in the office. Obviously nothing more exciting to report on.

    Aboriginal Communities

    I have experienced Aboriginal dominant rural communities and the welfare dependence that exists there, and the problem is far worse than what the majority believes. In the rural NSW town of Wilcannia, Aboriginal people live in the pub, and in the gutter outside when it's closed. You cannot...

    Regretting or Hating any subjects?

    I think that economics via correspondence is not a good idea. With eco, you need to have someone to explain concepts to you person to person rather than from a text book or computer screen. It'll will be a lot easier that way. I think the key difference between bio and eco is bio is...

    Hi, I've also chosen to The Lives of Others by Donnersmarck, and I'm a stuck in thinking of ways that belonging in the film can be contrasted with belonging in The Crucible. I can think of plenty of similarities, but not many differences. Can you help with this? thanks.

    belonging related text - "The Turning" by Tim Winton . Help !

    Dialogue: Raelene is so desperate to belong in Sherry's world she snatches up the phone asking 'Sherry?'. p.159. It shows her isolation. I think I'll stop doing your assignment now lol, I just like this book and have it in front of me.

    belonging related text - "The Turning" by Tim Winton . Help !

    I think you could use Dan and Sherry's house, or the bibles inside, as a symbol of Raelene's curiosity and yearning to belong. Particularly, the Jesus snow dome could represent how Raelene's wishes to belong in Sherry's world- clean, good looking, prim- but is held back by alienation and...
