Yeah, I think that stimulus was stupid. The abortion thing first came to mind, but then it made me think - why would you abort the baby just because it has the 'risk' of getting breast cancer? Doesn't really make sense. People abort now because they know their child is going to develop down...

Can someone please explain what they wrote for Section II part (a) on the breast-cancer stimulus material? My brain wasn't processing the information and I messed up my answer on that big time.

I put 4 as A.

So 1 was C and 2 was B, right? Or wrong?

None of the exemplar (full marks) creative responses in the Standards Packages are titled (either for Advanced English or Ext 1). A title is not necessary at all.

I think it's quite possible to have accurately interpreted the question thematically (e.g. loyalty as a theme is expressed through Hamlet attempting to avenge his father's murder, etc) or in terms of the play's structure and construction (e.g. Shakespeare's Hamlet represents the significance of...

I wrote about Call of the Wild (novel) by Jack London in the exam. I studied Once More, With Feeling (TV episode) from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and I briefly studied techniques and the plot from Mulholland Drive (film) in case the question couldn't be related to my other two texts, but I didn't...

I believe there's 8 pages per booklet, but I might be wrong.

It doesn't really matter how many pages you've written, or how many words - it's the quality of your essay. On average in the Standards Packages for English Advanced all the exemplar (full marks 20/20) responses are between 7 - 10 pages long, with between 5 - 7 words per line. It's quite...

Basically the markers aren't going to care whether you thought the play emphasised the importance of loyalty or disloyalty. They care about if you addressed the question or not. Disloyalty still addresses the question, and so does loyalty (or a combination of both). Basically the main...

8 in Mod A, 8 in Mod B and 8 in Mod C - so overall 24.

Identity was alright, as it was portrayed through the metaphor of the artificial intelligence (i.e. the monster and the replicants) and it was also reflected in the setting of both texts (e.g. the reign of consumerism in BR and the pathetic fallacies and epistolary framework of F). Disruption...

Thanks Harley Chan, themerald and Lozzy. I was just asking to check that the Hamlet question was indeed open-ended, because most of my essay I emphasised the importance of disloyalty.

Does anyone remember the question they asked for Hamlet? All I remember is that it was about loyalty.

Anyone have any ideas? (i.e. a term that describes perspectives that don't conflict).

At first glance I thought "textual form" and "medium of production" were synonymous. But then I thought maybe textual form meant different types of written texts - e.g. poetry, memoir, novel, etc... and medium of production meant either film, written text, music, etc. Anyway, thanks for the...

"Textual form" and "medium of production"? Or are they synonymous?

Thanks!

In the second stanza, second line, it is "home" or "lone"? Both have been used on different versions online. I don't have a copy of the proper edition from the HSC prescribed texts. So if anyone could clarify (or just post whole the poem), it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Yeah, you're right, it probably means both. The BoS site was just vague with how they described them.
