[meikeleigh]

Haha. Your writing is awesome.. The only reason I can't read it is because of the colouring of the page!

 

[..Nena..]

Hey...ure Journey to the interior is pretty hard to read some bits are orite but the others not so good...but the information i got from it was helpful ....

if its not a problem can you give me some more information on the techniques, concept and language used in the poem

that would be really helpful

 

[katietheskatie]

holy shit these are still up here .. fuck me my writing was bad back then

 

[Triple777ER]

This is not valid for 2008 right?

Our faggot fatass cunt teacher made us do it and thinks its coming for the HSC, so we were made to get familiar with one of these.

So, for 2008 we cannot absolutely use any of these right?

 

[ycsnm]

I used "The Road not Taken" Yea, its a little faint, but I can read it Thanx!

 

[shadow-tales22]

these were just last-minute notes i wrote out the night before the hsc, i scanned them a while ago for a 2005-er chick on my livejournal friends list and figured they might be some kind of help. they're kind of rushed and lame and my writing's pretty scribblish due to cramming, but *shrug*

hey is ur name katie??

coz i looked those quotes on the internet that were written by a girl name sara posted on the bored of studies website. not accusing you lol!! just wondering, coz these notes were already typed up on this website somewhere...thanx]

 

[katietheskatie]

whoa how are these still up

um anyway dude, i did the hsc like .. five years ago. didn't steal those notes from anyone, they were my own dodgy work. but whatever lol
