    section 2 question

    Actually that's half a metaphor. And I think if you had of made it more your own it would have worked better in your favour, BUT if you used the EXACT lines from the previous texts then I don't think it will have gone to well for you. And there's nothing wrong with using a prepared...

    Hamlet - MAD?

    I think he's generally sane. He says to Horatio I believe "I am but mad north-north-west. When the wind is southerly, I know a hawk from a handsaw” So that sort of hints that he is playing tricks on his family. :)

    English hints:

    An article is fairly easy, because there are different article styles. But I'm not quite sure how you could turn belonging (without a prescribed context) into one. I assume you just have to put your plot into an article. But hey I dont care about belonging, I'm more worried about the freaking...

    The Crucible and belonging

    The Crucible can be about belonging. It's all about communal belonging and how fear unifies and defines it. The community has been being divided by Parris with his "fire and Brimstone" attitude towards religion, but even before that Giles already hints at the trouble brewing "...it's a deep...

    Does God exist?

    I haven't read the whole argument, could not be bothered, so I don't know if this point has been made or not BUT: There is more evidence that Jesus did the things he did than there is that Julius Ceasar existed, and yet most people say "Yes, Julius Ceasar was real, he did this and this and that"...

    The Obernewtyn Chronicles

    I think I have the four, and the fourth was terrible! I loved all of them up until that point, where all she is doing is pining away and blah blah blah. Oh and Dragon is the muddy girl they found in some underground hidden city or something, and she has some really powerful 'strength' and she...

    The Greatest Book Ever Written

    I cannot STAND the books, they got really really boring, yet I could read the hobbit. And now I can't read the hobbit... yet I don't want to try LOTR... I reckon the greatest book ever written would have to be the Illiad and the Odessey

    "Stephenie Meyers can't write" - Stephen King

    It's funny, even year twelves get so upstarty about this series. There is a picture of the latest 'BLUNT' magazine of what a "real" Vampire should look like, blood, pointy teeth, and just overall evil looking. I don't get why her vamnpires have to become diamonds in the sun as opposed to die...
