Yes, 4U maths are possibly the two worst units that you'll ever face in y12. It'll make you cry in frustration as you struggle with the mechanics and conics questions. That is why so many people hate y12. And your test next year is probably going to be hard because this year's was so easy.

I can SOOO dig this chick. EMO! :burn:

I myself didn't really like the story and the motif of the key. In the end, I managed to link the key to the victim's past as a concentration camp guard but I didn't feel happy with what I did. 24 pages overall. 16 for essay and 8 for creative. Hopefully 40+

Yeah, got an interview for Newcastle. Not going to bother with Med though, so probably only going to go there for the fun of seeing a different campus.

Dunno. Test was surprisingly easy and I said I'd shoot myself if they didn't give us text types this year. Guess they didn't. The questions were very generic and I wrote 32 pages. Hopefully, I should be able to get a 93 or something.

Tried Kathleen Mcluskie, "The Patriarchal Bard"? Probably one of the best feminist readings available in uni libraries near you!

You know, I've always found it to be a bit of an oddity that us asian blokes never really go out with the non-asian ladies until I figured that we are hardly ever in a position to meet girls of different cultures. Selective school fellows have coaching which take up their time, rigorous study...

Unless you want to parody the genre by introducing a female detective in her 60s still chasing young'uns, I don't see the parody. Fat detective? Ethnic detective who speaks with accent??

Construction is about the structure of the text, how KL has been set up to further the tragic elements of the death of Lear and Gloucester and the destruction of the status quo by the greed and ambition of Edmund, Regan and Goneril. People approach the question in different ways but an easy...

There was none. One of the teachers at our school tried to link the gong with the imagery of bells going off in the Book of Revelation or something, symbolising the beginnings of chaos in the kingdom but the angry, angry director said it was just to make it in the flavour of feudal japan or...

Make them yourself like what I did. Notes are never made for recent Hollywood movies so your best bet is to borrow it out with a friend or something and do some hardcore scene analysis and overview.

Anaphora is the repetition of a syntaxtical structure and it is generally used in the scriptual register. Depending on context, it generally shows the repetition of the event described and it draws attention to the act described. Check out the Penguin's Guide to Literary Terms and Theory. Good...

Why not try the more canon interpretations of evil and good via the Jacobean morality plays and the Bible? Milton's metaphysical epic, "Paradise Lost" would be almost perfect for you. I was basically doing the same thing as you until my incompetent teacher caused me to quit.

The Ayre's production basically showed Lear as a family play and you could try borrowing some elements from there to work your version. Whatever you do, don't look at Harlos. Dave Ritchie is a stooge.

Thousand Acres, the adaptation of the novel by Jane Smiley can be used for feminism but you could basically tweak the Brookes to your advantage. Marxist elements are abound in almost every production. Especially Harlos, which stole every reading. Didn't work there sir. Noooo sir.

Feminist Psychoanalytical. Essentially, Lear is affected by a case of the Oedipal complex due to his old age, and to protect himself, he seeks to restore the absolute love of the lost mother by projecting that image onto his daughters. His daughters, being stubborn, free-willed women, reject his...

Horrible, horrible production that stole from Ayre's television series and dumbed it down to suit an immature audience familiarised with the crassness of Japanese "manga" culture and pornography. Dave Ritchie (The Director) is a grumpy, angry, unimaginative fellow and the acting of Lear and...

You can't just attach readings to each scene. You have to look at the scene in terms of technique and then draw out the readings from there. For example, the first scene, with the repetition of the word "nothing" is powerful in the sense it appeals to almost every interpretation. A christian...

Not true. The feminist reading's about the tragedy in the suppression of the feminine and the consequences of women gaining power within the patriarchy. Its been made out in the reading that the text of Lear is misogynist in it showing that the overthrow of the patriarchal order would only...
