    any guesses for hamlet question?

    sorry I misread your question. When I read 'human experience' I think the play wants you to focus on the characters and how they resemble real human-beings. i.e. Through the characters of Hamlet, Shakespeare's Hamlet reinforces the significance of loyalty (look at what relationships reinforce...

    yes they are broad themes, though I think you should also have something prepared specifically for characters and their relationships - you already know alot through the action vs inaction and deception themes, but being able to make a paragraph on love/loyalty for a range of characters (not...

    Converting text types??

    Because it looks gimmicky, and they are written like that to fit the pages (in magazines/newspapers), whereas this is not a concern in the HSC booklets. Also marker comments included when there was a feature article that weaker responses used the line divider down the page rather than changing...

    feminism

    The flaw in "Attractive women never really had a problem with marriage 1.0 where the woman doesn't work and they live off the husband's earnings (and don't ever divorce) because they got the first pick of men!" Is that they did have a problem with marriage 1.0. Some women would love that...

    Dropping a Subject Advice Please

    Wait until the first exam then drop whatever you did worst at/ whatever didn't pay off in terms of the work:results ratio There are hardly any tasks for EE1 so your mark could be anything, keep this in mind.

    Do you believe in God?

    I question his existence, because the bible claims adam and eve were the first humans and were created as such from god. This contrasts to Darwin's evolutionary theory, for which there exists physical evidence (the ancestors of man). Due to this incongruity, it is evident that the bible...

    any guesses for hamlet question?

    Yes. What are the 8 themes you've been revising? Some of them might be the same thing or elaborations of a greater theme e.g. You can look at 'suicide' as a theme, but its also part of the greater theme 'mortality'. You can just slip it into the paragraph with the topic sentence on mortality...

    death in hamlet?

    I would talk about death for only 1 paragraph, 2 if you have a lot of evidence. You cannot put all your eggs in one basket for this module, because the question will give you specific ideas that may not link well to mortality e.g. Love. How do love and mortality go together? They don't, really...
