Module A: Transformations: Ros and Guil and Hamlet 8 pages
Module B: Cloudstreet 9.5 pages
Module C: History and Memory: Memento 10 pages


So 27.5 all up. I think that was a very good effort... and all my writing was legible. Sometimes when people write HEAPS they don't take time to construct sentences properly and make sense! I don't think it's neccessary to write 15 pages for each... although if you can, and you can do it well, power to you!

43 pages? Thats actually quite unnatural, in case you hadn't been told.
A write about 1200 words per essay, which is roughly 5 or 6 of those booklet pages for me. I wrote 5 (a) 5(b) and 6(c).
anyways, whatever works for you. ext 1 eats it.

I think I got

A: 12
B: 11
C: 11

One of the things that helped my write faster was folding the booklet over so that I was only writing on top of 1 page. I find that writing on top of a whole booklet slows my pen down. Also writing illegibly can help :)

pft, if i typed i would've easy got 15 pages per section. i type about a million times faster than i write. which is obviously, why i was lucky enough to write.

8 pages- emma/clueless
9 pages- lear
11 pages- frontline

my writing is about eighty smalls as well, so, whatever.
i'm pretty damn happy.

I can't remember the quality of my work, but the quantity...I wrote 8 pages for Emma/Clueless, 13 for History and Memory, and I think 14 for Gwen Harwood = 35! Ok, I have no idea how I did that, there's no way!

um ok no joke i wrote 40 in all

i kno u will say
"you can't write that much"

but i did. i write huge and plus ive always written fast (kinda messy too, don't kno if they will be able to read it, its about 3 or 4 words a line, if u work that out its not that much)
however i always get mid - range marks coz i tend to retell the story...

so there you go, its not a matter of quantity,
if u talk about technique, effect/meaning and link to the question
you will be fine :)
