[joeym132]

skillful climber.

english teacher said because he has skinny legs

 

[khorne]

For the calvin and hobbes one, both supportive and frustrated are shown...For example, while one may concede that Hobbes does infact help Calvin along in his pursuits, the question could be understood as implying to only use the last panel, as then, it would be frustrated, as Hobbes is annoyed at Calvins actions and ideas throughout the otherwise simple and joyous "ride". I would imagine this would make more sense in the last panels context, as in other comics hobbes often states or considers that tigers are more intelligent than humans, etc.

As for the spider one, I believe it is was "skillful climber" as spiders are associated with climbing and the term was used as a simile ( or was it a metaphor) in relation to his climbing...If the character wished to highlight his thin legs, they would compare his legs to that of a spiders, directly.

Agreed =)

I believe it was skillful climber. The previous post relating skillful climber to "skinny legs" sounded too literal for me during the exam.

seemed fairly easy, anyone else use the dice to write about a gambler?

Calvin and Hobbes ftw

yes i did use the dice aswell to write about a gambler

 

[lpodnano]

yes i did use the dice aswell to write about a gambler

nope, partly because my knowledge of gambling is very low. I wrote compared the dice to outcomes in our life that lead us places. Compared life to a game board. ETCETCETC.
In conclusion: my story is gay

I hope i get band 5s+

Sounds like a good idea to tell the truth. I did the dice but wrote about something even more random which I do not wish to talk about lol. Epic fail.

our teacher said all those - except he said sarcasm and one of the positive ones not disapproved

the isolation one had an option that said:

the helmet falls on a glacier or sumfing like that
or
there was no sound and he was alone - not exactly like that

English MC was messed up, I was perplexed with the first question and it probably had to be one of the hardest because it was subjective in nature. It was about your personal perspective, what does the title "Hairy Biker's Recipe Book" insinuate. It was either adventurous or unusual. I chose unusual because it mentioned title not text.

I felt that the multiple choice was fairly easy, compared to the trials and learning what tautology was, but there were a few toughies on the attitude of the guy and the changed city.

I struggled a bit with the short story. Does it ever happen to you guys when you know that you're babbling on in a writing piece but you don't have the will power to change it?

yeah, i ended up doing the same thing and am sure i screwed up in the story cos i couldn't be bothered crossiong out the bull crap and writing anew story..

On thursday my english class and another combined and the two teachers went through the multible choice questions. They both agreed that it was the sound one.
