with this (or any song actually), can you just talk about the lyrics or do you have to look at it as a whole song and talk about how musical features relate etc.?

hi Without Wings...i found this statement for an essay in a practice papers book...some book i borrowed from the skool's library...newaiz...i was wondering if you knew any ideas for a response or what i could write about [by the way i have to use Frontline and any other shows like Frontline] :

"Whoever holds the power tries to own the truth"

Attack on the Ad-Man (poem, ASJ Tessimond)
Pork Pies and Scrambled Eggs (article, Philip Adams, should be archived)

need_notes: perhaps it would be easier for others to help you if you posted what ideas you already had and what texts you were using apart from Frontline - obviously the latter especially has a big impact on how you would approach a standard question like this as your response should be fully integrated

thanks for replying...newaiz...i was thinking of using Accurent Affairs(channel 9) and possibly Today Tonight(channel 7)...i was hoping to use the episodes about the gang rapes that occured in Sydney in about 2003...newaiz...tell me what you think about these two...thanx

 

[need_notes]

how about Media Watch...do you think that i could use that?

 

[need_notes]

i was planning to do it on the episodes...Add Sex and Stir, Playing the Ego Card & i haven't actually decided between using We Ain't got Dames and Smaller Fish to Fry

well, if you decide to do either ACA or Today Tonight you'll need a specific story they ran...or, alternatively, you could look at the styles of interviews, stories etc. that they do and make one up that fits with what you want to say, but it would have to be very solid to be convincing. anyways, it depends how much contrast you want. Today Tonight could be Frontline in many respects --> think of the 'news' items they run (testing orange juices, which light bulb is best, family feuds etc.) and compare it to, say, 'Smaller Fish to Fry'; it's exactly the same concept. so, in that case, Frontline illuminates through a clear parallel the techniques being used by Today Tonight reporters/management. For ACA the parallels will still be there, more likely in interviewing techniques on the street - running after people with cameras, accosting them outside courts/shops, foot in the door interviews etc. You might like to consider only using one of these shows though as they are both, essentially, going to be showing the same thing. Your work looks better from a marker's point of view if you've shown a variety of texts in your work. I Probably have some notes left somewhere on the poem I used as one of my related texts if you want to have a look at that and see if it suits. if not, fine. good luck doll
