    HSC '09- the most paranoid year.

    ROTE learning however, is a significant part of English study. You have to memorise all those techniques and themes buddy!

    How many people in the state do Ext 1 English?

    Try doing Romanticism. Just try.

    HSC '09- the most paranoid year.

    Completely different texts to you in all instances. I had.. Richard III/Looking for Richard Birthday Letters - Ted Hughes Cloudstreet- Tim Winton. Maybe I'm just lucky...but they all fitted perfectly for me.

    General Thoughts: English Advanced Paper 2 (Modules)

    Oh. Well, I'm about 9 words a line and I wrote 7, 8, 9. Is that average or above or below?

    General Thoughts: English Advanced Paper 2 (Modules)

    WOAH how big is your writing? ..I write average like 9 words per line, so even getting to a second booklet was some kind of strange miracle (hooray for Cloudstreet)

    HSC '09- the most paranoid year.

    Yeah, certain people thought they would share that speculation with everyone at school to freak everyone else out. Shttupid.

    General Thoughts: English Advanced Paper 2 (Modules)

    Yeah, is Richard III supposed to be 'King Richard III' as they specified, or just 'Richard III'...? Meh.

    General Thoughts: English Advanced Paper 2 (Modules)

    Module A: 7 pages - fuck I hate Richard III. I just made up all my techniques. Module B: 9 pages - pretty sure I aced this..or came pretty close. Module C: 8 pages- I thought 'provocative' meant sexy? EPIC FAIL. I write fairly small as well, so was pretty impressed by my page-ness. Can't...

    richard III

    I literally slipped in the words 'ambition' and 'identity' into my generic essay and hoped for the best. Stupid Richard... (Hi Lucy!)

    HSC '09- the most paranoid year.

    No obscure text types. Fairly straight forward essays. No ridiculously specific related text. No specification of one poem for prescribed texts. We are so, SO paranoid.

    What order did you do it in?

    Why would you NOT do 3, 1, 2? It's flawless.

    Section 2 - Creative Writing

    I wrote about a baby in a womb. Flits from perspective of baby to perspective of mother, then when the baby is born shows how they're duality doesn't conflict with their unity. It was the only thing I could think of when it said 'human beings, like plants, grow...'

    Did anybody not write a short story?

    I think it's because most people's capacity to write poetry is limited to 'teenage angst' themed stuff. Too many people misinterpret the medium. Anyway, at the end of the day, if your sonnet was tops, you'll get good marks.

    Enduring Looking for Richard...

    I hate hate hate this module. I actually haven't SEEN Looking For Richard, which I'm starting to worry about. Regardless, I got 18/20 for trials. I should be fine.

    Extension 1 Essay: Have they ever...

    Once again, like in Advanced Module C (for those doing Hughes/Plath) it is POSSIBLE, but very, very unlikely. Although I guess that after Paper 1 asking for only one related text, it's really up in the air..?!

    Cloudstreet Question?

    I know!! 'enduring characterisation of Quick' 'intense human relationships' I did Cloudstreet study last week, and after a preliminary bout of sickness, I decided that all I could do was really know my three 'perspectives/readings' as well as possible. So i wrote like a master sheet of...
