I discovered this a long time ago.. theres no point risking your hsc trying to come up with something original, What if the teacher marking it doesnt agree? Then you're screwed. Its best to just agree with the teachers, write down whatever they say and throw in a few quotes backing up THERE ideas and opinions.

as long as u back up ur thesis with enough textual evidence, they shouldn't mark you down, no matter if they don't like it or not.Monstar said:
but if ur completely off on a different tangent, then they have the capacity to mark you down for it.
All in all, support ur arguement with enough textual references to gain the marks you want.

No. I dislike wasting time. (The irony of being on this site kills me)
There's a difference between a valid interpretation and nonsense.

With this thread, i was suggesting that all this 'backing up your thesis with textual evidence allows you to be 'creative' ' stuff is merely disguising the fact that the english markers and system dosent want original ideas. if something is original, it should'nt have any evidence, it has come out of the deep blue.

As I see it, the courses in their current incarnation are at best a compromise between the development of English Skills (grammar & expression) and the study of English literature (textual analysis & discussion).
In my personal opinion, they should split them up, especially for those (god help them) who have absolutely no interest in reading/literature.
You can be creative on more than one level. Use an idea, and write it in a different way. That's how people get Band 6's.

That's silly. Here's my new interpretation: Hamlet is a homo. Are you suggesting I get marks for this without evidence?
