quick ass turnaround nonetheless

 

[vvert2023]

i fully forgot ext2 english was a thing
how was it? what did you write about?

smh forgot about the GOAT subject. honestly its been pre easy, im essentially done writing the reflection and major work just doing touch ups. takes the stress out of having another exam yk.

I wrote a critical response into the utility of dystopian fiction in revealing societal progress and concerns of eras. It is called
“OLD FEARS ARE NEW AGAIN”
How Dystopian Fiction Represents a Barometer of the Ages

This says what it's about from my reflection:
Accordingly, my major work, a critical analysis titled "“OLD FEARS ARE NEW AGAIN” How Dystopian Fiction Represents a Barometer of the Ages", is an evaluation of whether the concerns of yesteryear are still constant today through the analysis of four dystopian texts across two time periods (1930-1940 & 2000-present). Ultimately, I aimed to illustrate how dystopian literature is utilised by authors as the principal genre for discussing anxieties of the respective age and the effect this had on the audience. My piece therefore critically analyses the ways in which authors Aldous Huxley, Ayn Rand, Kazuo Ishiguro, and Neal Shusterman in their respective texts of Brave New World (1932) by Aldous Huxley and Ayn Rand’s novella Anthem (1938), as well as, the novels Never Let Me Go (2005) by Kazuo Ishiguro and Neal Shusterman’s Scythe (2016) appeal to the audience to understand the overarching issues of any specific time. These issues specifically relate to the scrutinisation of the overarching consequences of living under oppressive systems, the importance of individuality, and the futile pursuit of utopia in their relation to power. This thus enables my piece to act as an investigation into which social, cultural and political concerns persist across multiple time periods, hence applying in practice the idea that dystopian fiction is a barometer of the ages. The structure of the essay is filtered through the three subheadings pertaining to relevant societal ills: ‘The Futility of the Utopian Vision’ (1), The Issue of Oppressive Systems within Supposed Utopian Visions (2), The Treatment of the Important Individual within “Utopian” Society (3).

well done!

excuse me but how do I do this

I can't tell if it's dominant or recessive - assuming recessive bc it skips a gen, but then it says the guy is a carrier which would mean he's heterozygous???

help <3 I said C

bro I tried -- did you read what I wrote underneath

[nsw..wollongong]

its recessive

 

[SadCeliac]

its recessive

so then how tf is he a carrier

doesn't that normally mean heterozygous Hh

 

[nsw..wollongong]

so then how tf is he a carrier

doesn't that normally mean heterozygous Hh

wait i don't get the issue just do a punnett square by using like AA or sum then the male is Aa

 

[SadCeliac]

wait i don't get the issue just do a punnett square by using like AA or sum then the male is Aa

yeah but how is he affected if he is Hh and yet the disease is recessive

see my issue?!?

 

[nsw..wollongong]

yeah but how is he affected if he is Hh and yet the disease is recessive

see my issue?!?

no i think ur reading too much into it

 

[jc7726]

see my issue?!?

I don't do bio but I think i remember some of this from yr 10. Wouldn't it be 25% if both the female and male carrier are heterozygous? I don't think it says the male carrier is affected by it, just a carrier

 

[Unovan]

No because it's sex-linked by the looks of it

 

[SadCeliac]

No because it's sex-linked by the looks of it

Okay so then are we saying the guy is XrY and the mum is XRXR?

Okay so I did the smart thing and checked the sols: this is their reasoning:

B. It is an autosomal recessive condition (otherwise a male could not be a carrier). Individual III-3 must be Aa (since one of per parents has the condition, but she does not), as does the father of the child. There is a 25% chance that their child will be AA.
