    is sam working?

    whenever I wanted to know what my atar would be I just typed 'atar calculator' into google and used the first site which was always http://www.atarcalculator.com.au/ but just now I used SAM with the same results and the ATAR was 5 marks different. Which one is accurate?

    any guesses for hamlet question?

    ‘Shakespeare’s Hamlet continues to engage audiences through its dramatic treatment of hardship and optimism.’ In light of your critical study, does this statement resonate with your own interpretation of Hamlet? replace hardship and optimism with any of the following: - expectations -...

    Do we really care about english?

    I wasn't planning to use a word dropped careless but you make a good point on religion. Is the 'malaria' people's strict adherence to the tenets of religion, which are the 'word(s) dropped careless on a page'? The last point from 'i died for beauty' links to 'this is my letter', I think, in that...

    Do we really care about english?

    I am also doing Dickinson. So her Puritan society and religion is a barrier to her belonging because it isn't a shared belief? Also her gender as a female poet in a patriarchal society with expectations for women to marry

    is an thorough analysis of 5 themes enough for hamlet?

    what would your other points be? ed: what about how love can conflict with loyalty - ophelia loves Hamlet and Polonius and this makes it ambiguous where her loyalty lies - to father or lover? It is possible her madness results from this conflict of love and loyalty. Also Gertrude, who loves...

    is an thorough analysis of 5 themes enough for hamlet?

    I get what you mean now since the last questions have all been on specific themes 'love and loyalty' and 'struggle and disillusionment' and a trial somewhere was 'uncertainty'. What do you think if you approach it using the same 3 themes you've been using usually, just connecting them some way...

    Do we really care about english?

    Thankyou! You mean barriers that prevent belonging like gender could fall under this second point? This was helpful to me.

    Do we really care about english?

    what are 'negative social forces'??? I like your other points, though is there that much difference between the first point and the second? it seems like 'society is bad' and 'society is bad'

    is an thorough analysis of 5 themes enough for hamlet?

    I only did 3 themes. You're not using enough quotes if you're exploring 5 in one essay

    Essay Format and Structure

    hi im doing dickinson also, I've read some 15/15 essays with different structures so unfortunately there is no hard-fast rule that I can figure out as of yet. One essay was 4 body paragraphs, each like so: 1 Topic sentence Poem 1 - 1 example (quote/technique) poem 2 - "" RT - "" 2 different...

    Is it better to do 12 or 10 Units for HSC?

    i did say that i didn't do it. I also said that the assessment style is the same across all the languages and I've done ext. in 2 others already, that's how I know what u have to do. The tasks in both of my ext. courses have been very similar, the main difference was the set-text

    Is it better to do 12 or 10 Units for HSC?

    said i didn't do what??? You don't realise that language extension workload is less than others, like maths ext 1 is probably more workload even though they are both a unit. It's easy to slice up the maths curriculum into extensions but you can't really do this as well with a language. If you're...

    Is it better to do 12 or 10 Units for HSC?

    japanese = good choice, though I don't know if you'll like extension. I have done extension for 2 languages (not japanese) but the style of assessment is the same across all extension courses... lots of monologues on stupid world issues that I hate and never want to talk about again... what were...

    How do you motivate yourself to study?

    Hi this is just from my experience, if you talk a lot to really competetive people it makes you work harder. I know this because I was indifferent towards english but one of my friends was ALWAYS going on about marks and ranks and I got sucked in. It was a good influence because I wrote lots of...

    Time flies, anyone else feel depressed when you think about primary?

    I don't mind, it was nice and all but I'm looking forward to doing my masters overseas in 4ish years.. everything else is just filler. If the best time of your life isn't the present then what have you got to live for?

    Does it matter where you go for an Arts degree?

    I checked their website and it says on page 4 of the pdf http://sydney.edu.au/law/fstudent/coursework/docs_pdfs/PGProspectiveBooklet.pdf it depends which law course you do (it seems) for most of them it just said you needed to complete a specific unit before/whilst studying postgrad
