I did briar rose for section 2. The 'key episode' part threw me a bit, but after i thought of the book as if it were a tv show, it worked.
i look at josephs story as one episode, gamma's story as another episode on the next night and beccas journey to poland on the next night ans so on. lol, tv helps me even in the HSC ^^
I only wrote 5 pages, but i think i went alright as i didnt repeat myself too much and it didnt contain any useless info.
I talked about yolans 'ideas' as if i were talking about the themes of the story nad the 'characteristics' as though i was tlaking about the language techniques, like metaphors nad stuff. and i wrote it as a speech.
Is this how everyone else looked at it?
