    Crime Fiction - Story

    Hmm. I wrote about the detective being the murderer of his son, framing his son's girlfriend for the murder, but inevitably being caught by a prison guard who had garlic breath and who was getting blackmailed by the detective because the detective knew that the prison guard had realised he was...

    Crime Fiction - Essay

    I did the pussy approach by fence sitting in my response. I said that the different sub genres of crime fiction have different purposes, and for some sub-genres, this was to expose an entertaining situation and provide closure with the discovery of a criminal, etc. so in that respect i agreed...

    south coast

    Hehe I live in Ulladulla. In my opinion is shits all over Bateman's Bay. Ulladulla/Mollymook has the best beaches in the entire Universe. See you at the Marlin (*giggle*) (I dont meant ot be sarcastic it's just that it sounds funny that people actually want to vacation down here.)

    Module C: Representation and Text

    I actually sorta liked this question. Maybe that's 'cause I took the keywords form the question and moulded them to my thesis. I only made a personal reflection in the conclusion. This was my longest essay and I was pretty proud that I managed to ramble for ten-ish pages. yay!

    Bnw/br

    I walked into the English staffroom after the exam and my Extension teacher and my Advanced teacher were talking about whether it was too restrictive. My Extension teacher said it was quite restrictive and dictated the vein that the essay had to run in. My Advanced teacher thought it opened up...

    Yeats

    I actually thought the question left alot of room for expansion. I based my thesis on how his beliefs in the gyres related to the ages and eras of man as well as the aging process. So I linked it to textual integrity. I wrote about The Second Coming and The Wild Swans At Coole. I figured...

    Augustus

    Yeah I did the Army. I thought that the first one was too broad and I wouldn't have been able to develop a thesis that was refined enough. I talked about how Augustus used the army to establish and maintain his power, and all that jazz.

    Feeling Down? Stressed? Here's a Remedy

    Hahaha the first thing I heard when I came out was my friend going "What the <i>hell</i> is a nomad??" and everybody laughed at him. And then I was like "Um...is it someone who doesn't belong anywhere?" and that answer wasn't good enoguh so they laughed at me too. Never fear. You weren't...

    Section 3

    Oh gosh, sounds like the imaginative and the physical journey kids had a rough trot today. I was ecstatic with the inner question, because my thesis was 'The inner journey is often an intensely personal struggle for the realisation of identity. often, an individual must overcome obstacles...

    Section 2

    I was actually really annoyed with the stimulus..for the same reasons as everybody else. In my way of thinking...there are people who stress out in exams and aren't actually able to articulate thigns as well...that's why they prepare one (like me). If you write about...I think I heard...a...

    A Little Question About BNW..

    I was looking through a few forums, and I was comparing it with my own knowledge, and I saw something missing. Maybe nobody has the same edition of BNW as me, because mine is a gazillion years old But in the foreword, it quotes Huxley as saying that he wanted to write a futuristic novel as a...

    in the wild br and bnw

    Okay...well, my teacher gave us the definition of the natural world and its rhythms. But consider the two texts... They are essentially about humanity losing itself, right? So you can say that In The Wild relates to the natural state of humans, and how each text portrays a society whose...

    Cirque du Soleil fans

    Cirque Du Soleil is so incredible... I saw Quidam last year (I think) with my mum in Melbourne. It was so magical. I think the best shows are the late matinees...you go in and it's daylight, and when you come out it's night time and it's beautiful. That's what my mother and I though...

    Who here has two-timed...or would?

    I've have been the one they've cheated with. It was my ex, and I still loved him...and it wasn't ong after our break up, in comparison to how long we were together. But that's no excuse. It was just a kiss - I started crying and ran out afterward - but I count it all as cheating, just as bad as...

    Readings on Yeats "Easter 1916" ?

    I think that any of Yeats' poetry can be taken in two ways...so you can find two readings and apply them to any poem. The most popular thing is to do Romantic and Historic or something. Hope that helps =)
