    Question about module B

    To what extent is our own reading important?? At the moment my whole thoughts on Cloudstreet are bringing in other critics and talking about how various aspects of the text could be approved, dissapproved or neglected by certain readers. And if we do our own reading does that mean we use...

    HSC Modern History Exam
