What? What do you mean it 'simply doesn't exist'? What objective criteria are you balancing this against? Reading into techniques may not give us certitude in the author's intentions, but its not ABOUT that. This isn't science, we aren't proving something as fact. We are giving our argument...

Actually, all of those sound quite reasonably productive + fun. I'll add them all to my to-do list (though I'll probably just download seinfeld) Thats actually a pretty big relief, I was pretty stressed about uni too Hahaha gurmies! Yeah man, will totally hit that shit up with you

Now all you need to do is put in something about a plant flowering from a pot and you've got a 15/15 Belonging creative!

As one of the posters said above, this is Extension 1, there really isn't any excuse for not understanding the conventions of a short story i.e. TITLE. 99% of short stories have titles, and the ones that don't generally don't for a specific purpose. So if you're doing anything apart from textual...

Yeah job is number 1 priority really. Used up all the money from the past 3 years/2 jobs. Fail. But I don't want to waste my holidays working either...and I really don't want to go back to fast food or working at a cinema. So I don't really have much choice. But the hobby sounds good. I might...

Call of the month!

Is anyone else anxious about post-hsc life? The whole concept of complete freedom for 3 months is scaring me because I feel like I'm going to waste it not doing anything. Ideal: i have a total ball, partying everyday, and becoming a massive gun reality: ill stay inside watching dr phil and...

Yeah someone did this in my grade too...devastated

8.5, 9, 9.5 = 27 Good enough? Some of the people in this thread did so much more...dang

I actually like English. Is there something wrong with me?

It doesn't have to be about science fiction...the stimulus is meant to stimulate something within you that creates a creative process that goes into story etc. The poem thingo was pretty stupid, but it allowed you to be inventive, and did trick you a bit. Since you had to put it into the story...

Patrick Desmond?

You're fucked. How can you go through a whole year of English without knowing you can't use a prescribed text as a related? How can your teachers go through your trial and other assessments and not be like 'you idiot don't do a prescribed text as related'?

/ONE text

So I wrote about SIX texts in my belonging exam. The question said ONE text but I interpreted it as SIX because, you know, its English and postmodern so we can do whatever the fuck we want, right? And we can complain about it because its English and its the worst subject in the world and...

Who the fuck is this? David Tran?

Shutup or I'll bash you. EDIT: Also, when it says ONE, it means ONE. Saying 'Do ONE text' is a command, making every aspect of the sentence imperative. So it doesn't mean do 'at least ONE text', it means 'do only ONE text.' When multiple choice questions asks you to 'fill in ONE circle', it...

Really? 11 pages is not much for 4 texts...especially for the level of depth ext1 demands. Maybe depends on handwriting size?

Re: Extension Exam - How'd it go? Easy! Did science fiction, 17.5 pages for essay, 13.5 for the creative. Someone in my grade did 55 pages all up...

Also, I hate this kind of stupid logic. 'having interpretations that have nothing to do with what the text is about' Isn't that a bit contradictory? You're saying interpretations have nothing to do with what the text is about - but that's just saying THEIR interpretation conflicts with YOURS...
