    Last Line of your Major Work?

    (i know its a bit abstruse, but its poetry if that's any justification..) And I am a grotesquely swollen question mark, contemplating my own reflection wanting to rear up to any assembling conclusion. So how can I mock the devil's advocate when I have danced with satan? (do you think its...

    Theatre Thread!

    Kinda thought Phantom was a little overrated. Not much of a fan of musicals though. And having seen it before, I was waiting for the hectic chandelier falling, but the night that we saw it, it just kinda dangled down really slowly. The curtains closed before it had even hit the ground. Major...

    Has anyone experienced a sense of elation as a result of composing their MW?

    I'm sure that mine is waaaaay below what they expect. Its not even 2000 words. But I don't want to...clog it up. I dunno, wordcount is kinda confusing with poetry. Like, my poems are very condensed and succinct, there's no need for any more (and if i do include more, I run the risk of sounding...

    Ted Hughes - The Birthday Letters

    You have to remember that you're not really supposed to be JUDGING them, but coming to a conclusion that isn't biased or 'taking sides'. You can say Plath is a spaz, but just don't actually SAY it.

    Ted Hughes - The Birthday Letters

    Ha, yeah i meant the first term of year 12, last year. Sorry :S Okay, I have recieved about 8 PMs requesting notes/my assessment/online tutoring and all I can say is I hand-write my notes, and cannot distribute them to everyone. And no, I'm not willing to scan them in. I am WILLING, however, to...

    You know in Qld they have government rec centres with gyms, and its only $5 every time you go. I reckon that's sick. I go to Virgin Active in Frenchs Forest. Sickest gym ever. $28 a fortnight but well, WELL worth it. It's fucking heaven that place. Heaven.

    Has anyone experienced a sense of elation as a result of composing their MW?

    ha! i'm the opposite. I leave it for ages, pick it up and read it then feel really impressed that it came out of my brain...! out of curiosity, how many words is your poetry all together? I've written 12 poems which average from 1 page- 3 pages in length and I'm worried its a little...light. I...

    Theatre Thread!

    wow, i was just thinking that there should be a theatre thread and BANG. I have a subscription to the Ensemble (artistic director is my friend's grandma..saaaweeet!) and they really put on some fantastic plays. I just saw 'Let the Sunshine' by David Williamson and it was amazingly good. Did...

    related texts for romanticism

    Mmmmmm.. To be able to use a non-Romantic text as a related text is a bit of a risk, is it not? After all, you're trying to prove ways of thinking, and unless your argument is 'The Romantic way of thinking has permeated into 21st century society', then I don't see how you'll be able to make...

    should i do extension 2 english??

    As far as i'm concerned, its all in the way you approach it. I feel incredibly comfortable with my EE2 right now because I went full ball for the first few months, drafted over and over and over and over and over, and am now at the point where I can laugh and sit back and relax. I agree...

    Promblems with teacher :(

    My teacher seems to have male PMS when reading my MW. He told me the other day it was 'delightful', then in the next sentence said it was 'a little pretentious'. Noiiiice. Try and get a second opinion, maybe from someone who might be a little more respected than your teacher. I sent my finished...
