    Who WON'T be 18 for schoolies?

    I'll be 18 mid december. First week I'm going to Surfers with 4 mates. 2 are 18 and one of those doesn't drink so the other probably won't go to pubs and clubs much. It's a lot cheaper to get pissed from a grog shop anyway. Second week I'm going to Coffs with 9 friends. I might be 18 towards the...

    Creative ways to destroy the stimulus book

    Ha. Jeez, I've been hating English with a passion since the start of year 11. I was going to do 4 unit so I wouldn't haev to try in 2 unit and just have the other 2 units count, but I hate all the English staff at my school. So I don't know where that will leave me in 2 terms. Lets just say the...

    Led Zeppelin Essay?

    Tangerine was my favourite of the album. Immigrant Song is amazing though. In Through The Out Door is kind of cool to. Wasn't Jmmy Page so much so it's kinda different. The third track is really funky, forget the name.

    Creative Story

    Matthew Reilly wrote Ice Station and the others... I like most of the story and think it could be pretty good with a bit of tweaking. I think you ended it way too fast. I don't know if you're going for the "journey is more important than the end" slant but it doesn't seem to be heading that...

    Satirway to heaven???? even imaginitive?

    I'm pretty sure the song is not about drugs. Led Zeppelin didn't really write about drugs unless I've completely missed something. The second suggestion looks more likely. I'd add to that they seem to suggest her to find her answer, way into heaven, "on the whispering winds" which I'd take to...

    Rime of the ancient mariner

    I think it's focus is on nature and the relationship man must keep with nature and God. Then again everyone has their different takes on it. That's what I hate about English.

    Getting into history ext!

    ... Dude, I'm pretty sure he's talking about Hannibal Barca. As in the Carthaginian General who crossed the alps with the elephants and invaded Rome. He'd be interesting, but you'd have to deal with Livy. He annoys me so much.

    Led Zeppelin Essay?

    I'm not too clear on Led as the rockstar Haha. Evidently. Led Zeppelin was a rock band. 4 members. That's why I was confused by him. Anyway you make a good point as to the perceptions. I think you might have given me a feasible idea, I'll have to look into it though. Thanks for the help.

    **The Official LED ZEPPELIN thread**

    Can we consider Coda an official album? If so I think it was the weakest. Hey I got a q which is related to Zep. I'm doing ext history and I really wanna do Zeppelin for my major work. It has to be based on some controversy/argument or debate over something if you get me. I was thinking of...

    Led Zeppelin Essay?

    surrounding the construction of his image What do you mean by the construction of "his" image? The iconography could be good to look at. Btw, I agree, the Immigrant Song rocks!

    essay and synposis

    Our essay has to be around 2500 words. +/- 10%. I'd rather it be 5-10000. I mean it's 8 odd months of work, you'll have a lot to say. I'm pretty sure the proposal is not included in the word limit although it may difer school to school.

    Getting into history ext!

    That's how it seems to work with my school. There is no set requirement to make it in but I think if you haven't performed well in Yr 11 you are advised not to. I don't think any school can stop you really regardless of marks.
