What is the aim in having a 2hr paper? Do they want to see how much we can write be we breakk our wrists? Such a joke. A girl in my writes innately fast so she has 10minutes more than everyone which means the world as bos likes 5 sec exams

An individual's Perception of belonging changing over time

Analytical was:

An individual's perceptions of belonging evolve in response to the passage of time and interaction with the world.

How is this represented in your prescribed and at least one related text?

actually, the extended response wasn't too bad, but i spent too long on the short answers, and ran out of time for the creative, which was fairly retarded.

If my handwriting wasn't shit. would have raped that exam.
The essay was perfect for Dickinson.
But only ended up writing around 750 words for essay.
FML. the answer paper was so slippery.

Overall, just failed my hsc.

What was creative?

Image stimulus. There was one with a kid on a swing, a woman at a cafe, and the question had to do with changing perspectives on belonging over time (might be confusing with the essay lol)
