I read it...in Year Nine, I think...I loved that book and also 'The Solitaire Mystery.' I am now doing philosophy as part of my course at uni...I should dig that book back up and go read Aristotle's parts!

Well I went through my Austen phase quite early and read all six novels. The only film version I ever watched was Emma, the one with Gwyneth Paltrow. My favourite characters are Elizabeth Bennet (Pride and Prejudice), Elinor (Sense and Sensibility) and even Emma herself. Although Emma was a...

:D Well I'm very happy with how my timetable turned out! After going through the stress of fixing a timetable clash and changing a subject, that is. I have Mondays and Fridays off, Tuesday I have four lectures but a three hour break halfway through, Wednesday is my killer day with two lectures...

I got 92 and I'm happy :)

I had a friend who did the Windschuttle/Reynolds debate last year, it's a good topic, but yes, it is probably more common that your teacher thinks. However it's pretty hard to come up with an original history extension topic, and odds are, even if you do, there may be a reason such as there are...

I did Ned Kelly for my major project last year...my actual inquiry question was "How has Ned Kelly been portrayed through Australian society and why has he become such a controversial figure?" I began my project in a similar position to yours: I had no real interest in Australian history and...

I did 3 u history and 4 u English last year...trust me, as long as you start early and finish early, you'll be fine. I have memories of frantically typing my history project on the day it was due and typing my English reflection statement TEN MINUTES before it was due. And I still ended up with...

I got 95...and that was despite my own battles with my ancient teacher...*sigh* She wasn't condescending (not to me anyway) and she didn't motivate me to study harder. In fact, she was completely the opposite. She kept pressuring me by saying I had the ability to get first in the state and...

Ok I know it's hopelessly impractical and all but what do you people think of majoring in history? (And no, I don't want to be a history teacher!)

I think I'll just follow the main opinion around here: jeans/skirts and decent tops....I HAVE TO GO SHOPPING! =)

Well I was aiming for 99.6 (arts/law at Syd) and i got 93.60. I'm just ecstatic i got in the 90's though :)

Ugh I didn't like 'Great Expectations' much either *cringes as literary gods throw lightning bolts* I studied Emma this year and I actually did like that novel (and read the other five Austen novels) but 'Great Expectations' just didn't do it for me. I started reading 'Wuthering Heights' ages...

Ooooh I can't wait to read the other two now :)

I have to agree in the case of Nikki Webster...I think she's trying to act older than her age and it doesn't really suit her :p

No one's mentioned the Bananas in Pajamas yet...that's a classic! As well as the mainstream Sesame Street...actually did that have a theme song? I don't remember! And Playschool...*sings* theres a bear in there... are these shows still on?

Just finished 'The Solitaire Mystery' by Jostein Gaarder...highly recommend it to open minded people who enjoy a bit of philisophical thought :)

Has anyone read any of his/her books? I read 'Sophie's World' in Year Ten or so and I recently read 'The Solitaire Mystery.' I especially liked the latter, it's truly amazing how everything sounds so strange and implausible, yet makes perfect sense in the end. As for the former..well it did make...

Mmmmm...well I didnt really write about postmodernism because I really dont understand it that well. But I said that his discussion of how historians had to take other peoples info before they devised their own accounts was reminiscent of postmodern argument, in that they argue that with such...
