    What bos said about the sor 2009 hsc exam

    just a big lol at everything concerning this now, and how so many people continue to appeal. the board of studies will, at most, be lenient with marking. they knew what they were doing when they wrote the paper. c'est la vie hey.

    General Thoughts: SOR 2

    this is getting way too out of hand. the board of studies aren't stupid - they know what we are being taught and they are clever in HOW they worded the question. section three was a summary of everything we've learnt about religion over the past two years, about how it is a living, dynamic...

    What bos said about the sor 2009 hsc exam

    agreed. that's what the board of studies said, i've been in contact with a teacher who spoke to one of the people who put the exam together and they said you needed to provide a holistic response to the religion and how it's relevant in the life of adherents, taking into account practise, ethics...

    The difference between Crime Fiction & Crime Writing?

    love, have you read the syllabus? one of the main focuses is the exploration of crime texts and how, due to contextual evolution/change, values within texts have developed. by examining the texts, we learn more about the society it was created in, and learn the values and concerns of the people...

    General Thoughts: SOR 2

    nope :) i did christianity and it was equally as easy as the others. there was a lot i drew from in that quote: jesus' behaviour and how it dictates that of people today (kindness, selflessness), the part where one of the people mentioned something about their heart burning - how by only...

    Section IV - Historical Periods

    same :) i wrote one and a half booklets, from marius/gracchi/sulla, through pompey, crassus, caesar, the senate (a little bit), cicero, antony, octavian, lepidus, herod and cleopatra. i loved my essay, i squealed when i saw the question.

    Section I - Core (Pompeii and Herculaneum)

    i did that too :) i talked about how the profits of tourism are used for the funding to restore the sites, but it's cyclical as the effects of tourism are the reason it needs reconstruction. i mentioned a few groups (anglo-american project etc) who had been working on conservation, how...

    Hamlet - loyalty WTF???

    how can he be perceived as mad, then? does the evidence for his madness outweigh the evidence against it?

    Frankenstein and Blade Runner... Who's glad to see the end of it?

    it was a great question, it encompassed everything we've studied. disruption and identity covers three major themes of both texts; the importance of nature, what it is to be human and man acting as god. the disruption of the natural order due to humanity's selfish nature of identifying...

    Frankenstein and Blade Runner... Who's glad to see the end of it?

    great question. disruption and identity is just another way of portraying three of the major themes in both texts which were the importance of nature, what it is to be human and man acting as god. disruption of the natural order being the catalyst, both composers played off the fears of their...

    General Thoughts: SOR 2

    the two extended responses were absolutely brilliant, it tests those who actually paid attention throughout hsc AND prelim course, to combine our knowledge gained in both. section three required knowledge of everything we've learnt in the course and from last year - to develop an understanding...

    General Thoughts: English Advanced Paper 2 (Modules)

    i loved all the questions, they were written in such a way that they still played to what we've learnt but you had to be able to deconstruct them and flesh it out in order to nail it on the head. we knew it, but the board of studies likes to disguise it.

    Hamlet - loyalty WTF???

    i loooooved this question. i think where a lot of people will get trapped is trying to encompass a lot of the 'loyalty/disloyalty' concepts in the form of character relationships and situations, where we've been taught to form our own personal interpretation of the text and hence be able to...
