That doesn't mean much, because the aligning for the Standard Modules paper is clearly screwed. It seems as though you have to hammer every essay in the paper (I'm talking like 17+/20) to even have a shot at a Band 6. Not so with Advanced, in which a raw mark of I think 73/105 one year...

Yeah, sure, if you made sure you were one of the two students in the state to get a Band 6 in Standard, or one of the 1.5% who got a band 5.

Don't think so. It's not a clause. For clarity there should perhaps be inverted commas between "The" and "work".

Thanks for your comments :). Yes, in the RS' first paragraph I allude to how the work has satiric overtones. I wouldn't read too much into the names - they're merely titled "Sirs" to better convey the pretentiousness of literary theory, and their names are also anagrammatic for Cain and Abel...

http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=77844 It's in the 2004 section. Click on the one titled 'The Nine Cities of Troy: A Requiem for Utopia', by deusexmachina. Let it be known that if coreyjk calls it crap his opinion is truly a biased one worthy of little note.

Wow. That's quite possibly some of the stupidest, most immature behaviour I've ever heard about.

I think you'll find the majority of high achievers who claim to do little to no study are actually the ones that study most.

Our teachers refuse to give us our ranks for some reason, which is annoying, because the weightings of tasks have been changed and no-one really has any concrete idea of what their ranks are for anything. I was under the impression that our cumulative rank was available at any time, however.

This was an enjoyable read - at times it was amusing, and at others it was quite funny. Importantly, however, you didn't let the humour muddle your appeal to the audience that the 4th wall, in a postmodern age such as ours, must be destroyed. The phonetics, too, were for the most part...

Sure thing, I've already downloaded it and will give you some comments tomorrow. And now I'm off to catch some zs.

Dude. I'm in awe. So succinct, yet so impactful. So minimalist, yet it rings of such verisimilitude and in-depth research. The dialogue exchanges, which range from the subdued yet heated between Charles and Tilly, to the poignant and strained between Lucy and Bella, were very compact and got the...

According to his/her profile he/she subscribes to no gender :p.

Heh...you've gotta hand it to crazyhomo, he tells it like it is; no sugarcoating.

lol dude...she's pulling your leg. All works go into the forum showcase.

As cliched as this advice sounds, the majors have already been shipped off and there's really no point in beating yourself up about it. That said, I sympathise with you - a fair portion of my journal was butchered when printed and bound, and I only discovered this minutes before submission...

Thanks for all the comments guys; I'll now return the favour :). Sweets: Your analysis of the 'American Dream' was very sophisticated. I can clearly see, through my study of Citizen Kane in Module B, that you've expanded on the concepts of the Advanced English course instead of rehashing...

AOS section 1 - 15/15 section 2 - 13/15 section 3 - 15/15 Modules Module A (Wordsworth/Malouf) - 19/20 Module B (Citizen Kane) - 19/20 Module C (Antony and Cleopatra) - 17/20 (the teacher who marked this section, however, informed me he would've given me 19 were it the HSC) So, all...

Thanks for the crit! Yeah, I know what you mean; I wasn't too crash hot with the whole subtlety thing, but that was probably out of my fear, however unfounded, that the marker mightn't "get it". In true cop-out fashion, however, I justify such flagrance in the RS :p. By the way, I'll get...

Yes, Mr Syllabus advised us to steal. I did so. :p

black man, your work is interesting and well-crafted. I could tell you did your research, because the lyrics really did have an element of musicality. Being an Incubus fan, I was particularly fond of those ones. In the spirit of sharing, here's mine...
