^^ Yeah, actually using the word 'belong' or 'belonging' just seems a bit forced.

It's preferable that you mention all three, but you don't have to explicitly state "These situations" etc. etc. - like simply talking about their relationship is already a situation in itself, and simply talking about the negative light in which Hughes casts Plath in, is already talking about...

I think your teacher may have expressed disdain as it is better to structure paragraphs around interlinked ideas, such as the influence of personal agenda upon conflicting perspectives and so on - basically the nature of conflicting perspectives. It shows more sophistication that simply saying...

Personally I did: P1: First Hughes poem related to thesis (which incorporated two main ideas) P2: Second Hughes poem related to thesis, but the second idea P3: First related text related to thesis, both ideas P4: Second related text related to thesis, mainly the first idea Sometimes I did P1...

You could interpret or discuss it as: Personalities: Characters. Perspectives on a particular character, perspectives on that character's opinions, background, etc. Perhaps he/she is portrayed in a negative light by one person, but in a positive light by another. Events: Literally, events...

English - If you're planning on adapting, perfect your generic essays then look through a lot of past papers from different schools, read the essay questions and just think about how you would adapt it on the day. If you're planning on mostly writing it on the spot with a list of...

I always did the circle geo in maths first then marked in all the angles as soon as time started so I'd remember. Then I'd just flick through and read the longer questions/try to figure how to approach them so I wouldn't have to waste time thinking later. Yeah English paper 2 just take a look at...

20 optimum. If it's any longer than 30, split it into two sentences so the second can be like an explanatory one, expanding from your main thesis/point. I personally had my first sentence at 11 words in assessments, trials and the HSC, then my next at around 20 give or take (depending on the...

I personally always had around 400 for prescribed, 300-350 for the first related and 200 for my second (poem).

Wow didn't even realise it's been around that long. Happy birthday!

Basically just reading your essays (or a paragraph, etc.) over and over again will help you - after a while, writing down one sentence will just prompt you to write the next. Then just practise writing it out until you get it right. Took me like a few hours max back then - it shouldn't be that...

Just a few points :P - Metaphor of the spiders/moths gives the impression that the surfers are in their natural habitat, indicating the strong connection between the surfers and the sea (the sea shapes their identity) - Furthered by the vividness of the 'roar'ing waves and their 'hunt'ing...

No worries! and yeah, hence the hesitation D: Just narrowing it down slightly :3

Yeah sure :) @Shadowdude, I dunno though, I'd feel a bit odd going around trying to read every girl's name tag @___@ and yeah um, absolutely no other distinguishing features. I guess you'll just have to go around reading name tags.

Alright will do :) ^and yes that's fine too. Umm look out for an asian girl with waist-length hair? ><

hey guise ~ I'll bring along a copy of all the essays I wrote from last year. As someone who went into trials and the HSC with (readily adaptable) memorised essays, I totally understand if any of you are the type who just cannot bring themselves to write an essay on the spot by simply utilising...

I went to these for my HSC. They weren't absolutely amazing, but I still thought they were pretty good. I enjoyed English (depends on the lecturer though) but I wouldn't recommend the creative writing one (waste of time imo). Maths provided good overall revision for all the topics, particularly...

That's quite a broad question :S If you haven't already, take a look at the rubric. In very simple terms, if for instance you are doing conflicting perspectives, you should address, for instance, different representations, perspectives, or opinions of an event, situation, personality and so on...

Oh, if the average was 8, I'm not really sure you could get above average if you didn't answer the question appropriately, since the teachers appeared to have marked harshly all round. What was the marking criteria? Did you specifically refer to that particular scene throughout your essay? Did...

Hm, I had the names of poems in quotation marks. Either way, you shouldn't be bolding anything. The names of books etc. should be underlined. Also, yes, as MetalTheory said, you should explain the myth, and refer to it as, e.g. 'the myth of the Minotaur', as opposed to 'the myth, The Minotaur'...
