    General Thoughts: English Advanced Paper 2

    I kind of used the themes of Revenge and Corruption to explain Hamlet's characterisation throughout the play - and used the ending as the resolution and finality to the problems within the play.

    How much did you write?

    I had 6 for Section I, 6 for section II and 7 for Section III. It's due to factors of writing size and how well you know what you are writing. My English teacher told me that when I'm writing one sentence I should already know the next two sentences that I'm going to write. It seems to work...

    I feel like we are a small minority in Australia, there should be so many more fans here. Darren is truly incredible. Starkid is quite possibly the greatest thing that happened to me. They are probably the best people in the world.

    English Ext 1 in year 11

    I think it's more of a question of whether you think that you can handle it. Take a look at your marks from English this year and gage where you are at. I would suggest talking to a teacher about it though, they want you to do well :) Check out what module they will focus on in the next two...

    1st and 2nd romantic generations

    It would be the different reactions they had to the change in thinking. For example First generation poets Coleridge and Wordsworth tended to privilege emotion over rationality etc, whilst second generation composers such as Austen began to present intense passion and emotion as resulting in...

    Romanticism Related Texts?

    Don't forget the neglected arts such as music. Romanticism was very prominent in many compositions throughout the period and isn't used as often as it could be.

    Composing past Highschool/For fun.

    My sister and I are both composers, she has written the music for a bunch of different short films. I'm almost finished school and we're hopefully going to write a musical together, just for a stimulus to continue playing and composing. It's the love of it that keeps you going :)

    How does your maths teacher teach maths?

    Yeah my teacher just makes us do textbook questions as well. She tells us the new topic or rule etc, then writes out examples on the board and then we do questions from the textbook. I guess it's alright because there is a set pattern for each lesson so you know what is going to happen. But it...

    The Football Thread

    re: The Official Football Thread lol I've actually started to get into soccer and am going for Manchester City. Typically because I hate Manchester United! My friends dad told me that to win the premiership you pretty much have to lose no more than three games, is this correct?
