Hi. this is a summary of what i think the module is about that i posted up last year. http://community.boredofstudies.org/325/module-b-critical-study-texts/93765/att-2006-king-lear-introduction-mercedes.html which might be worth taking a look at. basically the way to approach this (i...

With about a week-ish to go, now might be a good time to have a bit of a chat about how to structure your ideas so that they come out in a coherent, logical way? Any ideas?

For what its worth, i think you should look at the date this file was originally published, it should late sept 2005. Well before "your notes". And for the record it was written after days of reading and integrating from dozens of resources, and in the hsc everything starts to sound a little...

Dont be discouraged... it generally takes months of ext1 before you understand the concept and feel like you get it. For what its worth, i basically failed every ext assessment [highest mark 26/50] all year and didnt even undertand the point of RFTG until a week or so before my hsc exam but i...

fantastic question. i wish we'd had that one. personally i'd use this question to argue that Lear's fatal flaw, [folly/doting on his daughters/dividing what is united] leads to human actions [the scheming of the elder two daguhters] which fuel the tragic cycle. therefore arguing that the...

I used Dirt Music, so i understand what youre struggling to come to terms with... here are a few hints... - how does Winton represent the dichotomy between local and global and how is this different to the other texts? I think with D.M whats different is perhaps more interesting than what...

That is a very good question and one that i dont think i can actually claim to be able to answer, especially considering the time that has passed since i did this module. however i am willing to suggest that shakespeare was influenced by a whole range of social and contextual factors at the time...

exactly... this isnt personal. good on her for presenting a different point of view. its given me something to think about... as is the case with most 18year olds i tend to be idealistic and its always good when someone is prepared to have some sort of an intellectual arguement that challenges...

Ah ha... a commerce student. that explains the obsession with money. this is so not a personal attack. your situation is very different to most students. can i also just clarify that full timers are not bludgers. its just instead of working all day, studying at night... we study all day then...

Emily. i feel obliged to point out that your plight ceased being interesting about 5 or 6 posts ago. this isnt about you but a bigger mentality and ive mentioned it a few times that its about a mentality NOT YOU PERSONALLY. stop making excuses aye. nobody really cares how miserable gsc makes...

1. difference of opinion = thats cool 2. im not talking exclusively about cheap alcohol and partying [as me+2drinks=asleep under the table therefore not particulary advantageous that drinks cost 30c less] but suervices like counciling, sunscreen, aeroguard, free contraception and kitchens/areas...

what do you mean? dont we get to vote for them? can any old freak just walk into a position like that? i kinda thought it was quite competitive/exclusive

why should everyone pay taxes when x% goes toward nursing homes for the elderly and preschools for the young? perhaps because these services are essential... the arguement your making is pretty selfish which i think is pretty typical of the attitude of a number of students ive spoken to about...

wow it sounds like you really hate being at uni... the difference is i love it... the atmosphere etc is so awesome, esp coming from a REAAAALLLLY small school... i know i wouldnt want to lose that atmosphere... and about the hecs thing, thats just part and parcel of uni and everyone is in...

VSU sucks. how can you expect your uni life to be as awesome as it is now with no money? the union is so important. i know i'll still pay if its voluntary becasue i support the principle of what they do. besides Newy uni is so far in debt how can we expect ANYTHING to be free inc basic...
