Well the maximum you can be asked for is 3 if they're feeling nasty (not commonly known fact, but it's true!). They've never done it yet, but be warned: every year they don't makes it more likely they will the following year. However, sometimes your related text won't fit the question. It...

Well I didn't do Frontline: I did a text called "The Justice Game". And although it's not always recommended to use a text on the HSC reading list, I'd say you could get away with it here because almost no one does it (even at my school, mine was the only class to do it- everyone else did...

at first they're hard to understand but if you're studying them (have you viewed each at least twice? you should have done by now!) you should get a grasp on them. Look especially to the historical context of the situations they were written in (BNW in the 1920's -don't mention WW2 it pisses...

You have to remember that Bradley sometimes contradicts the main texts in her simplification... that's another reason to avoid her like the plague. Especially in Egypt and Greece- in Egypt she's popularising (very very dangerous) and in Greece she's making it understandable to modern western...

BArts I Semester 1: GRKA1001: Greek 1.1 (Ancient) ANHS1003: Foundations for Ancient History: Greece PHIL1010: Society, Reason, and Knowledge (Don't do it! Don't do it!) ENGL1005: Language and Image (Don't do it! Don't do it!) Semester 2: GRKA1002: Greek 1.2 ANHS1004: Power and...

don't do ENGL1005 if you don't like banal analysis: it's far far worse than the HSC!

you mean the transition thing? I did it and it was so worth it... you get to know people quickly and you have someone to talk to if you get lost and stuff. I've made some friends from second and third year who I'll probably keep for a long time. And the surprise was a scavenger hunt... as a...

First semester philosophy is absolutely awful... I dropped second semester even though people said it's much better (because I couldn't bear the thought of any more philosophy!). Also, if English comes into your selection choices (it's not there now, but it's worth warning you anyway) DO NOT...

I didn't like crime when I was in year 11, did it in year 12, and now can't get enough of it! (bit sad really but anyway...) (when I say "crime" I mean crime fiction unless otherwise stated)

see "crime fiction supplementary" for what I used during the HSC

It could be anything really. Check out past papers and you'll see the kind of variety. Sometimes it's a creative response with one of the texts, sometimes you have to write a story about a "journey" (or "change" as I knew it). How it's marked depends entirely on what you're asked. Sorry...

If you can name the social, political, economic and religious aspects and motivations of/for Athenian democracy and tie it to the main people in the syllabus, as well as knowing key dates about it then you'll be fine. Good luck in your trial! :)

You have to read the main sources (i.e. Herodotos and possibly Plutarch) to get the proper info on that. Herodotos tells it really well. I don't remember the details off hand, but you can't find these things out from an all-round encyclopaedia or the internet. They're not worth your time for...

True. But all the ancient history teachers, teachers who are markers, lecturers (now not just the one I had in first semester, but others as well), and anyone who loves Ancient History sees Bradley as a bit of a joke. And what's more, she's not a historian, she's a textbook writer. See those...

OK the stuff that I used: Song: Walla Walla by The Offspring Short story: The Piscatorial Farce of the Stolen Stomach by Dorothy Sayers (or anything by her) Novel: anything by Jeffrey Deaver anything by Patricia Cornwall An Unsuitable Job for a Woman by same person as...

The best way to do it is to analyse it yourself as there's so little info- all the teachers have read it too, trust me. also it's absurdist so there's a whole lot of things you can make up about it and justify. That's what I love about chaotic pieces.

Also for a song (it's short, and it's different) try Walla Walla by The Offspring. You can find the lyrics on the web.

Lincoln Rhyme is only black in the film. If you look at the Deaver books it never mentions Rhyme's race. Also I think the film fits more into a traditional approach because Rhyme is still the strong detective with the fumbling sidekick (what's his name- the one that likes the woman who's...

well you can label all sorts of things as crime fiction. In an assignment I did I looked at "children's crime fiction" and did Harry Potter. It keeps some conventions and breaks others. If you look only at the two traditional schools then Dorothy Sayers (short stories) is good although she's...

look at the way that conventions are played with- that's the cultural value. From the playing with of conventions you get the theory of existentialism (life sucks and doesn't matter, basically)- especially shown through the fact that people die and come back to life- which was very big at the...
