i did it last year... damn long book.... the play was cool to watch, but doing the novel for the hsc certainly wasn't....
different 'readings' i still don't understand

Does anyone have any notes on different readings that they can share??
I'm finding it really difficult to do the readings!!

I'm not doing cloudstreet but I did read it. It was pretty good.

If you mention how the author never uses speach marks and explain the reason you're well on your way.

.....um...if that's all you mention...then you're well on your way to getting low marks...if that's what you mean

Its just an example of form you might put in.

I'm not studying it so I woudn't know what else to put in.

When I read a book I'm not studing I only look at the story not much else.

You could go on about representations of olden day Australia and the themes that come through.

Cloudstreet

I read that book too, like bookboy18 - just as a book, a story, not something that I had to study/deconstruct
and thank god! I really have a lot of respect for you - it must be a hard text to "critically analyse"...

the best two readings to do, or rather the ones which somewhat made sense to me were the post colonial reading and a religious/spiritual reading....


make sure you cover post colonial from both a aboriginal and european/white viewpoint

lol... ahh the more ypu read and think, cloudstreet is awfully religious.... apparently that's just winton though

 

[bookboy18]

How is Winton's other works?
