Hey everyone! (98.6 ATAR and All Rounder)
Over my HSC I spent a painstakingly long time trying to perfect my essay technique (having 10 units of purely essay subjects tends to do that to you) and I have plenty of work to show for it. For Modern alone, I wrote over 40 short to long responses for a start. And here I am, at the end of the cycle (yes it does end)- offering something that I would loved when I was slaving over for hours and hours.
Price is negotiable, but lets start off with $10 for each complete subject (and $15 for two subjects), but of course it can be less for smaller topics.
I also offer essay marking or online tutoring if interested.
ENGLISH ADVANCED
Now English can be treated with an absolute vehemence, but I find that's when people don't understand exactly how to write essays for it. I just think about English as somewhat obsessive state standardized fandom around literature.
I have these for the following areas:
DISCOVERY (many, MANY - i had essays for about every rubric point + notes for the Motorcycle Diaries, Flowers for Algernon and the film Pan's Labyrinth)
MOD B: about seven to eight essays for Hamlet - and those were just the ones i was personally happy with, i had written about 10 before)- everyone says it, but its true that you truly have to form your own interpretation of the play, even if you would prefer nothing else but resurrect Shakespeare and give him a good shanking.) NONETHELESS i have essays specifically on:
MOD C (multiple essays on Crucible + my own related text - Mother Night by Kurt Vonnegut)
MODERN HISTORY
All 1,000 - 1,200 word essays I spent the bulk of my time on this subject, two hundred hours to be precise. I got a 95 in the end, which I am proud of. But I would never have needed to work so many hours if I'd learnt how to write a decent essay earlier.
CORE - WW1
NATIONAL - GERMANY
CONFLICT - INDOCHINA
PERSONALITY - LENI RIEFENSTAHL
- Part A: all of the syllabus dot-points covered in paragraphs and notes
- Part B:
LEGAL STUDIES
This subject can be pretty tough to figure out how to write decent essays in. It took me a while, but it is always so useful to look at how some one else has structured theirs - structure being the key word, and how to balance cases + legislation, and of course, your own judgement.
I received 97 in this exam, so it made it my best performing subject. If you are interested I have essays/notes in the areas of:
CRIME
HUMAN RIGHTS: short answers, notes and case study - child marriage, I have several pages of pretty much the answer to every short answer variation I could brainstorm.
FAMILY LAW
Teachers tell you that there is a lot of content in this topic, but as long as you can keep up with current news/themes and focus on ongoing issues such as same sex marriage/adoption/domestic violence etc. you'll be fine.
WORLD ORDER (my personal favourite - the nature of the topic means that my essays are still mainly relevant if you wanted to use them as a springboard for your own essays).
HISTORY EXTENSION
I loved this subject, and got a 47 in the end - it was essentially like philosophy but focused upon history. I've written quite a few essays for the core "What is History" that I am quite proud of, and quite a few for Convict Women. If you wish to buy these essays I'll even throw in my Major Work which had a full mark, if you were curious as to how you could potentially structure your investigations. I will also give you any tips you need, I love helping out and reading other people's work.
PHEW we're finally at the end- if you want to see samples for any of these subjects, feel free to PM me.
And if you want to give yourself an easier time instead of desperately hoping that you will "get it" and are interested buy, PM as well! Totally negotiable with prices - but lets say $15 for a complete set of each subject and their notes/essays, less if you are only interested in specific ones.
I also have quite a lot of essays and notes for English Extension I - AFTER THE BOMB if you are interested. My final score was 46.
Good luck for everything folks! Thank you for reading this post.

I have these for the following areas:
DISCOVERY (many, MANY - i had essays for about every rubric point + notes for the Motorcycle Diaries, Flowers for Algernon and the film Pan's Labyrinth)
- Literally though "discoveries can be sudden/unexpected - all through to the ramifications of discovery differ for individuals and their worlds" - I have seven variations of similar ideas which still manage to answer the question because of a certain way that I've interpreted the unit
- My creative - "Rose Chiselled Eyes" which carried me through trials and the HSC. I'm not proud of it, but the markers didn't seem to mind. At the very least, it could reassure you of your own ideas.
- Other creatives - "Kites", etc. if you want to see them.
- A comparative study of "hope"
- A comparative study of "idealised love"
- A paragraph on "identity" in Gatsby
- Textual form
MOD B: about seven to eight essays for Hamlet - and those were just the ones i was personally happy with, i had written about 10 before)- everyone says it, but its true that you truly have to form your own interpretation of the play, even if you would prefer nothing else but resurrect Shakespeare and give him a good shanking.) NONETHELESS i have essays specifically on:
- Women in the play
- Revenge tragedy as a form
- Hamlet's characterization
- Soliloquy study
- Relationships in Hamlet
- Reason and Passion in Hamlet
- Madness in Hamlet
- Using the "graveyard" scene as a prompt
MOD C (multiple essays on Crucible + my own related text - Mother Night by Kurt Vonnegut)
- "Representations of people and politics often reveal either the best or the worst of human nature"
- "How do composers represent the conflict between people and politics?"
- "How do composers use form and medium of production to represent the conflict between people and politics?"
- "Evaluate how composers represent the impact that political acts may have on individual lives and society"
- "It is politics that shapes the individual, the individual does not shape politics.”
- "Compare the ways in which composers represent the relationship between people and politics."
