    DUX of school: did not do ESL?

    That's not true? Ext. 1 English scales best out of all the Englishes, and Ext. 2 comes in second.

    Need some help please?

    Yes, I think this is possibly the wrong forum... It's honestly very easy to distinguish ... just go to any old site and read up on it. Don't be lazy. And just thought I should tell you, sonnets and odes are technically lyrical poems, which is a very broad term.

    2009 EE2 Rollcall.

    Another late check-in, and I am attempting my hand at poetry. I still feel very confused right now, and my log book is practically empty. Help ):

    Why selective school kids need tutors?

    Right. What if you are simply incompatible with your teacher's method of teaching? What if your teacher is just a BAD teacher (and trust, there are plenty). If the teacher is no good, it will give you no basis to understand the subject or anything you're meant to be learning. Sometimes...

    HSC POETS 09! Unite!

    Ah, count me in to the countless hours of frustration! Waiting to be inspired doesn't quite work for me, unfortunately, I simply end up doing nothing. Thus, my logbook is quite light as of the moment -_- But wondering if you may have any recommendations on good resources/texts concerning...

    Your ONE favorite brand. ONE. (1).

    Agreed. Hermes wasn't made for 'standing out'. It's meant to be understated elegance. And Chanel for me any day.

    who Actually likes english?

    Cannot agree more. That man's writing is plain bad. Boring. Mundane. His poetry is so blatant that even my dog can figure out what he's on about. It doesn't make you think. Kind of like Stephenie Meyer, I reckon.

    Visual Arts Process Diary: What's supposed to go in it?

    In short, everything. Throw in everything that relates to your Major Work, but at the same time, do NOT spend hours toiling away at your VAPD with pointless things like decorating, when you can be doing your Major Work.

    bio or va =/

    I agree with the above poster, do VA. Doing three sciences will be quite tiresome, I assure you. Unless you are a science nerd, by all means, go ahead. Having some variety in your subjects is good, and dropping Bio for VA is a good decision (because you enjoy VA). Besides, Bio doesn't scale all...

    What is YOUR hardest and/or biggest content course

    Nergh, I have quite a problem with Maths, but that is honestly because I don't put any effort in so I should not be complaining, but working. But I hate it! :chainsaw: Chemistry can also be a bit of a bummer sometimes, when it's Data Processing. Modern History is very, very extensive in...

    Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer

    I'm sorry, but that's the way the world goes. No [smart] teacher or HSC marker would ever consider suggesting a book from the Twilight series as a supplementary text - yes, it may deal with concepts of belonging, but how strongly supported is it by truly good writing (not trying to be elitist...

    who Actually likes english?

    This is strangely familiar, but yes, I do love the subject just absolutely loathe my stupid teacher. She knows nothing.

    80+ HSC to Scale

    Point exactly. A 98 scales down to a low 90. Bad scaling, clearly. If you're at all capable of doing Advanced Maths, I'd say go for that instead of General.

    You sure? Because my teacher said that the artworks you make are yours.

    My poem - love it or hate it ....

    I agree with what the others have said before me. Especially upon the importance of good imagery, and that is indeed better conveyed through less literal portrayals and interpretations. Remember, subtlety is the key. For example, when you say 'Rainbows flow from her soul', try using a less...

    What are you currently Reading?

    The God of Small Things - Arundhati Roy. I love her writing.

    Favourite TV shows

    A little too obsessed with F.R.I.E.N.D.S., I also love love Buffy, Will & Grace, Sex & the City, The X-Files, The Dave Chappelle Show and on many occasions, Law & Order: SVU, Supernatural, Charmed, House M.D. and Monk.

    Ooh, I love that song. The lyrics are yum. :rolleyes: I'm currently loving I'm On Fire by Bruce Springsteen.
