Ooh glass prism. ^

Your essay question is quite open ended, so you should be able to complete it without too much difficulty. I've also studied the 'National Picture' and 'The Conciliation' in English Advanced. We analysed the changing attitudes concerning Aboriginals and European settlers. Refer to the appropriation aspects of both texts. Since you only have 40 minutes, make a few brief points and expand on them. Good luck!

we just finished changing perspectives and we also had to do an essay. hmm, we didn't do any of those texts, except we did do the crucible in year 9.. forgot what that was about though. hahaha. well at least you guys know the question beforehand. we were given 5 minutes in the exam to make up a thesis for ours - "change is sometimes forced upon us, as life is a progression and not a station". lol, yeah fun. well, my teacher told us to write about AT LEAST 3 techniques for each text and then use them as a basis to link the stimulus together. always have a topic sentence and a linking sentence, provide lots of evidence, etc etc.. and most importantly, give yourself time to write a good conclusion because that's the last thing the marker reads! impress them with something philosophical (that makes sense and is relevant). we were told that our conclusions should summarise everything and answer the question in one paragraph.
