Wait... did you do King Lear or Cloudstreet??

Ahahaha. I like.

Well, yes, your reference to the stimulus piece can be obscure, to say the least. But to take that opening sentence, then say "and then the old guy died before he got to tell his last story. Bored at the lame drama on TV, I turned the TV off and was magically transported in southern Africa...

Go look at the exam thoughts forum and see. BUT, advice for you: bash the information out of your teacher a few weeks before the exam. Because unless you go to a school with really good Multimedia teachers, they aren't going to give you anything much, if at all.

That's sexist.

Since some people have taken offence to my post (I suppose that's understandable... maybe not rational, but understandable), I shall reply to my own post: 1. I'm sorry, but this is true. Perhaps I could've written it nicely... but it's still true. 2. English Extension 2 people are smart...

No, Mr. Harry Flashman. I'm attacking the BOS for making people who feel stressed under normal exam conditions, to be reduced to writing such cliched stories.

Haha, I like that. 15/15.

Sweetheart, I don't have an English tutor. I wrote my creative writing response using my own creativity. And then got feedback from everyone. And then wrote it again. And then got feedback. And then repeated this process several times. And it was, IS, hawt. *10 point list expanded to 11 points*...

NOTICE TO ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO SAY THAT THIS QUESTION WAS THE BEST EVER: 1. Your prepared creative writing was about some old grandfather whispering his magnificent life-changing story to his grandchild before coughing up blood and dying, with the child hanging on to his hand, tears running...

That's one tank toupee.

Ewes are female sheep. That is all.

Your definition is pretty much what I wrote... the "blurring reality and imagination" part is pretty much my opening sentence. :p BUT, I think I wrote "process of speculation" about 10 times each page. And the rare times I didn't write that in a sentence, it was "the speculation process"...

Pirates are hawt.

I think you're crazy.

I don't think they should've done that, because I looked at the past two hsc AOS papers, which are the only ones based on journeys, and thought "yup, this is how it's going to look" and based everything I did on that. Which meant I pretty much shot myself in the foot. Why oh why can't they have...

I rang the HSC help line last night, with the 2004 essay question. I asked if I could say "it depends on the type of journey" but the teacher I spoke to said it's better to take a definite stance, rather than being "airy-fairy"

I argued for, and was cruising along brilliantly, and thought I had all my bases covered... until I realised it didn't really fit my ORT. This was on the 6th or so page, so I thought "stuff it" and kept writing. It was a fairly broad question, but not a very stimulating one, as in, they need...

I was really annoyed. Still am actually. I used the same creative writing as I did for my trials, but spent SO much time perfecting it and pestering the hell out of my English teachers until it was PERFECT, and I had it fully memorised and EVERYthing, and then they go and give a COMPLETELY...

The only reason I knew what to write about the equity thing was because the night before I had actually looked at the syllabus (I know, it's truly a miracle) and one of the dot points was "equity/EEO" and I couldn't find anything about equity, so I only learnt EEO stuff, and so that's all I...
