    Dedicating A Story

    I don't care who sees it. Even people very close to me wouldn't understand it anyway. It's the principle that counts. Again the reason behind it is quite personal. It's a shame I can't put it in. Thank you for your help though! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

    Double-spacing

    Thanks for having the pride not to ask advice on how to adjust the brightness and/or contrast on your monitor. It's people like me who can admit our ignorance and ask for help when we need it. Pathetic, aren't I? :)

    Dedicating A Story

    Are we allowed to dedicate works? I realise that this may cause my identity to be revealed if I'm not careful enough, but I feel confident that nobody will recognise me by this small allusion to my life. And yeah, it's kind of personal. So to the HSC markers it will be irrelevant to my...

    The expectations are far too great

    Ah. That never occured to me until now, lol. *Blush* Sorry. Nice joke though. EDIT: Kiefer was distracting me. ^^;

    The expectations are far too great

    What was wrong with the old system though? It seemed to work fine. I don't see why we have to produce university-level essays when we could be doing something more simple. One should be given the choice to closely examine a text, not be forced to do so. I agree that Postmodernism should be...

    The expectations are far too great

    If you're calling us all a bunch of whingers, I wish to inform you that I, for one, have read a lot of Charles Dickens. I'm even using a Christmas Carol as a related text for Imaginative Journey. As much as I love Dickens though, I find it tedious to have to examine every single possible...

    The expectations are far too great

    I can't say I agree more.:burn: I think we should all go on strike this year. If the whole state performs badly they will make it easier for us to receive high marks. They may also think about addressing the problem. Getting everybody to co-operate would be difficult, though...

    The expectations are far too great

    I can't say I agree more.:burn: I think we should all go on strike this year for the HSC. If the whole state performs badly then it'll be easier to receive higher marks, and then they will begin to address the problem. Getting everybody to co-operate would be difficult though...

    Powerplay - Related Texts

    I thought about Franz Kafka's novella, the Metamorphosis. So many different levels you could analyse the story at, and a brilliant central metaphor. I was also thinking the other day about movies with twist endings. You could talk about the power a director yields over the viewer by...

    Powerplay - Related Texts

    Now that would be an excellent choice. I'd do it myself if I hadn't already chosen a film, but as it's good to have some for back up that's certainly something I'll look at. Thanks for the suggestion. ;)

    Powerplay - Related Texts

    We've just started doing Powerplay in class (with 1984 by George Orwell being our set text) and I'm considering doing the film Memento. I also thought about the drama Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw, however, as 1984 concers power yielded over a society, and Memento and Pygmalion both over...
