If you dont care, then why bother making a post? Plus, Joel, this forum is suppose to allow students to discuss and compare answers; hence why people post their responses - why would anyone bother just saying that they thought they did well? I would call you a fag, except I'm better than you...

You are the first person to vindicate me, so thankyou very very much. I agree, half marks if you stop at 'Victory' - but as "the hsc sucks" stated; I don't get exam doubt, so I'm not worried at all. Agreeded, posting what you did is great to compare, it allows you to evaluate your response in...

I thought I would edit it for the benefit of everyone.

Even still, crime fiction needs more than crime. From that outline, I can't even see a direct crime, a mystery, a detective: it certainly does not accord to any sub-genre. Its thats crime fiction then so is 'Triumph of the Will'

I think that you haven't realised yet that your marks for school are of complete irrelevance. I too toped Advanced English and my assessment mark was 91% and my predicted hsc aligned mark for english is 98. If you go to James Reuss you will find that they will each and every year give out...

Yes LISOC, you can be my fangirl.

Of course I have doubts, considering the laws of physics I doubt anyone's ability to make 30 pages without double spacing or writing in a riddiculously large size. Also, find me a situation when I have prioritised quantity over quality? I only have Extension History left, and I suspect...

IS THIS NOT WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING ALL ALONG? Foremost of all, Quality is the best. But beyond two quality answers, quantity will prevail as the leading response. The fact is everyone writes as much as they can in the two hours. For some they can only get 10 pages out, others 20, and...

International studies is pretty cool; dont let people make you think that its just a glorified arts degree. I was thinking about combining that with law but then I got sucked in to the corporate sector; so I'll probably end up doing commerce/law - ARRRRR I'm going to turn into such an ass...

At last, a voice of reason amid this babble of jealousy and lies. People who say they write more than 30 pages are lying; unless they do double spacing. People who go on with this trash about quality over quanitity are deluded. You are trying to make out that there is some kind of...

n. pl. stig·ma·ta (stg-mät, -mt, stgm-) or stig·mas A mark or token of infamy, disgrace, or reproach: “Party affiliation has never been more casual... The stigmata of decay are everywhere” (Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.). See Synonyms at stain. Stigmata yes can mean a religious experience...

I think people saying they wrote 30 and 40 page essays are lying. To do a 48 page essay you would have to be writing non stop with 3.75 seconds per line. That leaves no time to call for new booklets, no time to change pens, or look at the question post-reading time. You dont even have time to...

I adapted my story; had the picture as the entrance to the mansion and subsequent Billiard Room, included a depiction of it, with the bikerider going past as the host greets his first guest. My story was essentially a clue-puzzle; with the host (Professor Herald Bloom) who has two detectives...

What in the world does that have to do with crime fiction??? BTW - from the way you write I think you need to go take a Valium

Thanks alot Sillysan. Are you going to be doing medicine next year? If so where at? Medicine would be my second career of choice except for the fact that my Dad's a doctor, and I'm going to be a lawyer. Good luck everyone with the rest of your exams!

Sorry to be antagonistic, but what if you write 20 pages of quality as I did; and my writing is medium (7 words per lin). I agree, 48 pages is a little excessive and your most likely to just piss off the marker; but I dont think 10 pages in one hour section in an extension subject is going to...

I saw this question as pertaining to two different yet related things. Firstly, discovery can equate to the resolution of the crime and the education of values upon the audience; whilst mystery obvious can equal the convention of mystery itself, the crime etc... Through that perception, I...

Ok guys, I know this is a precarious issue but its always interesting to see how much people can do for 1 hour long section. I personally really wanted to get within striking range of the Examplar response which is 22 pages long. Essay - 20 pages Story - 19 pages So 39 in total, which...

Good question?

Lets hear what everyone has to say about this.
