    What are conflicting perspectives?

    I'm being serious. I actually do not know what conflicting perspectives are. Would it be like how, in Julius Caesar, Brutus conspires against Caesar for the good of Rome, whereas the other conspirators do it out of jealousy? My core homework is due tomorrow, and I have no idea what my two...

    Lack of sophistication in essays

    It's really weird. My Ancient teacher always criticises my writing, saying theres a lack of sophistication, it's narrative-based etc. however, i'm averaging about 92. For Modern, everyone (teachers and students) thinks I'm brilliant but I'm not doing as well as I am in Ancient.

    Lack of sophistication in essays

    I said something a little less colloquial than "Von Moltke rose to..." I was just giving an example, but thank you so much! I definitely didn't say anything as sophisticated as what you just wrote. That really puts things into perspective. I don't think my writing is of that caliber. Is there...

    Lack of sophistication in essays

    Sorry, what the teacher meant by "not sophisticated" was "you need to use scholarly terms" and also, she said something else about word usage. Example:In Modern History I wrote something like "Von Moltke rose to the top very quickly because he came from a well respected family, and he had a...

    Lack of sophistication in essays

    My Ancient History teacher said I lack sophistication in my essays, and some of them are largely narrative. How do I make my essays sound sophisticated? Do you guys have any big, fancy words you use in place of simpler words? (If you do, please tell me!) And how do I make my essays more...

    You should ALWAYS HELP someone having trouble, whether they are closely ranked to you or not. But NEVER DO THE WORK for them.

Drama I'm going to get Living...

    Which textbooks should I get for Year 12?

    Thanks! And when you say "Don't do other subs" do you mean "Don't buy books for them" or "Don't do those subjects"

    Which textbooks should I get for Year 12?

    Thanks but I already have that one because that's the one our school gives us. It's pretty good I guess, but I'd prefer one that divides questions on each topic into levels (Eg Easy, Medium, Hard). I know the Cambridge one divides their books into Development and Extension, but it's way too...
