My timetable: Get the egg timer out of the kitchen, set it to 99 minutes. Start the timer and start study. Every time I do something non-study related, (eat, relax, talk to someone, waste time on BOS) I pause the timer. Not restart, just pause. Start it again each time I study. Do 3-4...

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it. If you want to begin a discussion about responding to postmodernism, let's go. Questioning our own context should be our priority as students, not studying past contexts trying to decipher their motives or "reasons" behind why they wrote. It is a...

Clifford! Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! For Kyi, we had to name her central themes and purpose, what langauge devices she uses, and compare her speech to Atwood's. Write a thesis for the following question: "ultimately, it is a representation of deeply held ideas that...

It's on now, give me a buzz. Did I say that right?

To confirm, Clifford did, at one stage, take Northanger Abbey (that brilliant piece of satirical, total Austen having a lol at Gothic literature and societies absurdities) seriously. For face value. He came around though :) PS, Clifford, are you doing an Extension 1 creative, or...

Go to bed, Clifford! We are getting Extension 1 back tomorrow, are we not? We need our rest to prepare for the onslaught.... Ekoolish's is on Page 6.

Ekoolish: Be proud, my friend, be extremely proud. Yours is the only Critical Response I have ever read that sustained my interest throughout the whole thing. I think it was because, often, with CR's, the language is so overbearingly professional that my poor, imagination-oriented brain...

Clifford. I didn't know you read Kate Grenville!! ....So did I.... Are we actually twins?

Just read ASubmarine's. Love it. Love poetry, love how you write poetry. I think the reason I love Water/Sounds so much is because you write in a way I have always aspired to write. I adore writers who can say so much in so few words. Unlike myself, whipping out the theasurus at every...

Clifford...Clifford...My faithful friend. Alphabetania, what an amazing world you have created. Like I said before, this is a bookshelf item for me. This is a story to read to children for a laugh, and to read to adults for a very true and unique glimpse into the way we treat language...

This is weird...I am usually just a skulker on BOS. I read all, but post little. Here is mine. Now, I'm off to read the 2009 Showcase... Congratulations everyone for finishing, and good luck! Short Story: frayed ribbon

so you found me. do you see why I didnt want to tell you my display name? hahaa

thank you for your advice. I'm a very temperamental writer, so I've actually gone with short story after all. More words to play around with :] Also, to any year 11's thinking of taking up this course : do it. It's brilliant. It is unlike any other subject, totally YOU directed, no-one...

I have read "The Simple Gift", and although I didn't like the story or the simplicity of the language, it gave me many ideas about structure. Like a series of interconnecting poems. I hadnt thought to contact BOS. Thanks for that :)

I plan to do my EE2 major work in verse, but since it is free verse (so no strict rhyming meter) it looks and flows more like a story. (similar to Herrick, Porter and Pushkin) I was wondering whether a story in verse constitutes as a Short Story medium, or Poetry medium? Since there is a...
