Hey guys, so basically I am preparing for my half yearly examination, which will involve half an hour of writing an essay (focusing on Gilgamesh, Mulan and my ORT which is Underbelly). I'm going to write a generic response which I can then tweak to fit the exam question. Basically we are talking about the values that are found in texts, the definition of a 'hero' in different contexts and eras, and how the texts employ traditional ideals of a quest in different ways.
I'm fine with writing essays, in terms of integration and making the phrasing fluent, though I'm having trouble with the base ideas for my essay.
It is meant to be similar in style to the Journeys essay, but with a different theme. If anyone has any discussion statements i could use to discuss the texts that would be great.
At the moment I'm thinking along the lines of how the accepted ideal of a hero changes depending on context and perspective, and how representations of values are becoming more intricate and metaphorical... but i'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, for a one hour creative writing, I'm going to be doing an appropriation of 'the boy who cried wolf' (appropriation is the basis of our writing). My idea was to write about a hypochondriac, although i'm trying to think of a suitable climax... I'm thinking about including shifting chronological order or perspectives to add more interest to it. But any ideas would be great
Thanks guys!
