I can't crack the 23/25 barrier in Modern. I consistently achieve 23s and have got one 19/20 but the 24-25/25 for essays within exams continue to elude me. I would consider myself to be very well versed in the actual Sylabi so I think this is a perhaps a literacy or comprehension problem, how...
I'm competing with this one guy for 1st in Modern. I do at least 10x the work he does but he writes in this impenetrable academic jargon which gives the marker the impression that he might know what he is talking about, despite him having no idea. Obviously it's far more effective that my plain...
Deeply disappoints me that people do this. English is about fostering a relationship with English literature and its influences not only superficially in the artistic sense, but in the political and philosophical.
From a purely academic perspective. If you do the same amount of work as someone...

If she had a fixed dedication to the Nazi cause why didn't she join the Nazi party or help them in any real sense during Third Reich's largest conflict, the Second World War?
Your claims are the unsubstantiated ones. Leni protected a friend Eduard Kunneke's Jewish wife as well, orchestrated the release of Ernst Jager's Jewish wife from a concentration camp, and prevented Robert Herlth's (a colleague) Jewish wife from being arrested by the Gestapo. Quite anti-semetic...
Her criticism of Jews attacking her IMO is warranted. Her films are in no sense anti-semetic and she has never been herself.
There has been a concerted effort by Jewish organisations to boycott her films, for no other reason that she was connected to the Third Reich. If everything connected to...
Doing Leni as well and I have to sympathise with her. You're a director and the bloke in charge of the country gives you the biggest budget for any film ever and virtually unlimited resources, do you take the moral high ground and refuse, perhaps at the penalty of death? Or do your eyes light up...
