Thanks for your help, much appreciated [ at least someone reads what i post :) ]

and one more thing, i think TRIH is great; its funny, thoughtful, yet mind boggling.:eek:

I apoligise to anyone who thinks i did not read there post, because i dont have time to read them all, im supposed to be studying at the moment. However i did want to add something - People who think "postmodern" can be a subgenre of crime fiction ... do they even think about what they are...

There we go - we have solved the problem! The most important subgenres that you should know are what you have studied in class and the subgenres of the specific Prescribed Texts you have studied. For myself, i would only need to know cosyschool and hard boiled, as those are my PT subgenres. I...

Hey, i was just wondering if anyone has read either: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime - Mark Haddon or The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency - Alexander McCall Smith If so, i need some tips or ideas on what people think their audiences are; everytime i talk about audience in exams...

oh yes and one more thing; film noir is a style associated with the way in which films are produced with alot of shadows and darkness etc - it is like saying that using alot of Low Camera angles in a number of movies is a subgenre .. it doesnt work

I think everyone needs to calm down and learn to respect other peoples points of view and ideas. After saying that, i am going to give you all my point of view. I think the only real subgenres that are relevant to this course, are Cosy School and Hard Boiled. Otherwise, don't you think the...

It is good that you are trying to prepare, but i honestly don't think that they will narrow down the creative writing section to that extent; i think they will just ask you to do your own creative piece, and thus you can choose what that style of writing is.

i thought that's what they were all about. ranking you out of the whole state in terms of your ability to perform academically in both your assessments but also in the actual exam. im just bitter because my head is about to explode from study :)

That's true. They should just abolish HSC examinations altogether; they arent a true test of people's intellect, they are a test of how well people perform under pressure. Toodles

"Uhh no. You don't need laptops. Use school desktop computers. There'd easily be enough for each batch of HSC exams. Typing = the future of word processing. People who can't type quickly need to learn or become amish." Hahah i like your way of thinking. One question, about the sore hand...

That's true, but we should just have the option of doing that, so those who want to handwrite can, and those who want to type can. During the trials exams i couldnt hold a pen properly each day or so after my exams, my hand was too sore.

That's unfortunate that you have a medical disorder, but i would so LOVE to be able to use a computer for the exams; i can type heaps faster then i can write, and im sure thats the case for everyone. I say we should all be able to use laptops, i mean we are in a computer age now arent we? but in...

thats cool, i just wanted to know because my thesis has to do with reality and the imagination, and i was going to tie in with Kubla Khan to reality (erm, excuse my vagueness but i dont want to give too much away, im competing with you all remember!) if Kubla Khan did exist ... but its cool...

firstly, thanks to both of you for replying ... getting replies from people on this site is like pulling teeth sometimes. thanks for clearing that up with me, i thought it did exist (or i should say he did) because of the small paragraph or two of info which is provided on the side of the poem...

i have only read parts of your thread as i am just browsing, but i have a few comments; firstly, AOS needs you to have variety of texts, does it not? (correct me if i am wrong) so therefore, i think everything you are using are poems ... yes? although it is good that you can link how each...

i havent read everyones reply, so dont get angry if i repeat something etc firstly, my pre-written response is one page typed, and that is generally all i can manage to do in an exam; usually 4-5 pages handwritten. whoever said pre-writing a story is a waste of time, well im sorry my friend, but...

just a little advice, markers like to see a mixture of text types, so if your set texts are Coleridge poems i would advise against using Keats poem, as they were both romantics and thus the things in there poems would be similar; try using something that isnt a poem perhaps .. i dont know, just...

hey, i was just wondering whether this "Kubla Khan" fellow actually existed, ie the persona is recreating a description of this pleasure dome, so did it ever really exist in reality ??? also, any thoughts on Frost at Midnight, Kubla Khan and Journeys Over Sea and Land would be appreciated; i...

yes indeedy .. well looks like you didnt beat me after all - but its okay, ur still smart:rofl:
