    Are you using a fancy quote about change at the beginning of your essay?

    Are you using a fancy quote about change at the beginning of your essay or in the introduction? I'm thinking about adding one, but do think that this will appear like I'm "trying to hard" to the marker? The quote I have in mind is: To change and to change for the better are two...

    Changing prespective...Film

    American History X, is not only an awesome movie but an awesome additional text, its full of techniques and has a very obvious change. Other good ones: Amercian Beauty The Shawshank Redemption (Without a doubt my favourite movie of all time, everyone watch it :))

    HSC Advice Line - What Do You Think?

    I finally got on this afternoon, and it wasn't bad. They answered all queries alright, although there were times I wanted to say "shut up! you're not answering the fucking question" or "you just said that stop repeating the bleedingly obvious". but other than that, they were relatively...

    Please explain 'general' essay

    Basically no matter what the question is, in most cases, you should be able to answer any question with the same basic essay. Then when you get the question you should mould it to the basic essay. The basic essay consists of: Intro: discussion of concept of change, introduce texts Body...

    Feminism in Lear

    I suck at Lear, but I think the scene where Goneril and Regan refuse to let Lear have shelter, unless he gives up his knights, is a good scene. For instance McLuskie sees a connection between female insubordination of male authority and anarachy and suggest that this link has a misogynist...

    Rock Music!

    hrmm.. point taken again... I think alot of bands/artists aren't world class material, that are popular/famous, so The Vines aren't really the only ones.... its just that they got mentioned here that I decided to make a comment...

    Rock Music!

    Point taken, but they're aren't even world class material IMHO. I personally don't think there are many worthwhile bands here.... Except george (who are awesome), powderfinger, Something for Kate and a few more.....

    Rock Music!

    I personally think the Vines are extremely overrated. The songs while catchy, are quite basic and get boring quick, because there is no depth. The "singer" isn't much of a singer, he's "raw" but rather poor at singing... And they aren't particularly original or interesting. I hate this...
