    Imaginative Journey Question

    I used Wind in the Willows. Went down the path that Imaginative journeys were about transformation, that they were very personal and were about escaping the "real" world more than speculation. I could've used speculation too because of Wind in the Willows but it didn't quite fit in with the...

    Section 1

    The thing that comforts me is I come here, to a place that is filled with lots of people who obviously do well in their HSC and aim high and they think it was hard. Really, the people who have being say "oh easy as hell" at my school anyway are the pretty average kids.

    Section 3

    Don't worry mate, I didn't think I did too great either but the thing is to forget about it, it's behind you and concentrate on doing well in your other subjects. The markers are alot more lenient in the HSC anyway. I remember even for SC I thought I fucked english up big time...I ended up...

    General Thoughts: English Paper 1 2006

    Well I'm kind of stressing. Compared to other exams I've had this year, this was harder. I always do this though, I always stress and I think I done poorly so I'm worrying for nothing I hope... I seemed to be the only person in my school who argued against the Imaginative journeys question...

    Section 3

    Was against it, I said while speculation wasn't exempt from Imaginative journeys, other elements were more Important. Just allowed me to do more with my texts.

    That's a good one mate, not cliche, markers love that sort of stuff apparently.

    Section 3

    Don't worry mate, they keep the time limits in mind when marking it. I can't seem to write more than 6 pages because of my smaller writing.

    Section 2

    My story was about an old man with 2 left feet (literally) telling a journo the story of a journey about how he overcame the odds and discovered what he was made of in becoming a dancer despite his disability...Tried to do something different and not cliche because I know the markers are going...

    Section 2

    It threw what I planned out the window. That stupid bloody question. I sorta tried and fit my story to the question and I think I did okay but I don't think it was a very rivetting story. God damn.

    Section 3

    I did Imaginative journeys and argued against the speculation being the most important process. I said transformations and escaping reality were most important as that fit in well with my texts.

    NRL : The Official NRL Thread 2006

    Nutley is a great singing, him and Myles more than make up for Morley I think. Nutley was in blistering form before he left for England, I hope he contiunes that for us and he will add some much needed experience. Our youngsters played really well against the Panthers on the weekend, Lewis...

    The Official Cricket Thread 2006/2007

    Having Tait isn't going to help that, he's too similar to Lee minus some accuracy. Neither is having MacGill, he is similar to Warney. Our bowling attack is varied enough with an express bowler, a world-class spinner and a line and length bowler, I think we can afford to have at least one...

    They should slot Jaques into the middle order, a good batsman is a good batsman anywhere and Jaques has been stacking on the runs in County Cricket this year. We need to abandon the all-rounder experiment because it's clearly not working -- We have been the best side in the world for over 10...
