I don't think that we're 'dumbed down'. Advanced English is bloody hard. And Post Modernism is incredibly relevant to our society...THAT'S why we study it. And I'm guessing that he's referring to Shakespeare when he refers to to 'good quality' texts. That in itself is closed-minded. There are...

wellity wellity wellity. I went to the Study Day, and I have to say, I'm pretty anooyed with the whole thing. Firstly, they didn't give us anywhere to go and eat - I ended up at a seven eleven just drinking Red Bull for lunch. Secondly, the lady I had, the short story speaker in the main...

We weren't really given a textbook from our teachers. If you can tell me the name/author...that'd be awesome. I'd like to buy me a copy!! Thanks heaps! :)

Okay...I'm a little confused because page 121 is chapter ten in my book...lol... There's two types of language in Brave New World: Poetic and Scientific (poetic as in the savage quoting shakespeare, and scientific meaning all the long, forceful, complicated, sharp words of the World State)...

Oh dear. Dont we all hate THAT trend! My school does it to. Sadly, I've grown used to the stuff. Doesn't give you nearly enough energy to handle maths. I swear, my school is so retarded LOL...I mean, they sell these 'cheese and bacon rolls', that like, make paper go see-through with the grease...

I'm doing a study on the inscriptions of Hatshepsut. I cant find the ACTUAL inscriptions of things like the Punt and Conception scenes at Djeser Djeseru (Deir El Bahri, whatever), and stuff from her obelisks. I have the Speos Artemidos inscription in full, but it doesn't really hold as much...

Hm...I'm doing sort of the same thing, except I need to use inscriptions as evidence. I'm talking about how she went to Punt because Amun told her to basically, and she got frankinsence, because it was his favourite scent, etc. Also, she alleged that he was her father. The father thing is on the...

My class is studying Hatchepsut - is that strange? I mean, we're only studying Rome and Hatchepsut...I think.

Me and my friends might be going on a cruise that leaves from brissy....but i think it might be toward the end of november...or...i dont know, maybe it is the 9th! hehe it'll be good either way.

well, i wasnt at the same school at the time, but the story is famous... mrs fleetwood was this crazy german teacher. she'd been in a mental hospital, and Ulladulla was her rehab type thing. She was nuts...once, she said that my (very, very christian, innocent friend) was taking drugs, though...

- Figured out main idea - Fogured out how my protagonist will kill herself (with Vodka, Valium, and Xanax, if you must know ;)) - Refined characters - Refined idea - Worked on my journal - Found a friend to do in depth critiques of my work - written two drafts - failed at writing two...

I didn't either. It sounded too intelligent. And....shit I've actually forgotten the word...OH MY GOD THERE'S AN ENORMOUS SPIDER ON MY ROOF (sorry, i saw it when i looke dup to think)...anyway. Um...where you're threatened. It's threatening. Because my idea is crap in comparison. ...I'm writing...

...if you say that, you're going to start getting everyone's work to proof read (mine included) !

I'm obsessive too, it's turning into my diary, I swear! Not good. Hlaf my diary seems to be taken up with me bitching about authors not wanting to me my mentor, and me not being able to think of ideas. I pity my marker. The other half is me taking up space with big bright headings. Hehehehe...

'The sleet is' ...God, how pathetic. Sigh.

Heh, if you find one, send it my way!! (if someone wants to tutor me, i dont care what you've completed. i just need critique on short stories concerning suicide. :> )

Re: Help!!! I'm doing My Place too...I dont know if this will help, but for my speech (argh!) my related metrail are: -Veronika Decides To Die (paulo coelho) -The Road Not Taken (stimulus) -The Riders (tim winton) but i was going to do fight club...my thesis is basically the destination...
