Hi there, I'm not sure how useful my input will be considering when I did the HSC, our AOS was still 'Belonging'. At the time, our prescribed text for AOS was 'Romulus, my father' (it's a novel - biographic in nature). My teacher suggested it might go well with Motorcycle diaries, so I believe...

Hey OP! Glad to know you're feeling much better :) I believe you mentioned in a previous post that you've been working very hard during the holidays and also extensive hours when you're at school. I know this is probably going to sound weird and illogical - but that right there IS the problem...

Amazing work fellow classmate - you've made our school really proud :) As for me, I'm an all-rounder so I'm happy enough :eek:

Hey guys! Just wanted to say sorry for those people who I didn't get a chance to reply to. I hope you guys still gave it your very best! I'm still going to be quite inactive during this period of time but when I do get the chance again, I will make another post so you guys have the opportunity...

As long as they are both related to similar notions of discovery (e.g. self-discovery, physical discovery of land) - you should be fine :)

I think any sort of bildungsroman novel (i.e. "coming of age" novel) is suitable for discovery (notion of self-discovery and all). I recommend everyone check out novels by Sonya Hartnett (she has a few fantasy - but there are some nice "coming of age" ones - e.g. Butterfly) I also feel that "To...

I sent you a PM - check your inbox :D

Thanks for the incredibly sweet message! :)

Thank you!

^ I think all the users above have answered your question really well :lol: Just as an add on though - if you believe you will be able to do well in Adv Eng or even if you're just willing to give it your best shot, do take their advice because anyone should be allowed to achieve their greatest...
