Class of 2005 - Which texts are you doing? (1 Viewer)

[Peartie]

Emma and Clueles------Worst Topic ever!

 

[white_spazzy]

BNW/BR- we have to do it because our teachers think people get the best marks by using it...

i would love to study emma/clueless

 

[Emma-Jayde]

We get to choose between Bladerunner/Brave New World, Emma/Clueless and Hamlet/Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. We get to change classes for that unit if our teacher is teaching something we don't want to do.
I'm doing BR/BNW, haven't seen BR but the book isn't too bad once you get past the first couple of chapters.

 

[lourai*87]

is there any section dedicated to R&G and Hamlet on ere

Im doing the above. Hamlet sux, R&G is great

 

[cyclonesarah]

BNW and BR here ... were doing it cause the teacher said we dont have the resources for the others
Hate the movie but the books ok i guess ...

im doing hamlet/ros and guil
and my teacher is always cracking the shits cause we bitch that we don't understand hamlet,
but ros & guil, i like they think lots, a lil like my teacher, and there minds wander, like someone i know,


has nebody gotta give a speech where u explore a character, where u explain the role and motivation behind ur characters actions in the plays, and how they have been transformed,???

im thinking of doing the player, but is there much a 'transformation' there???

Hamlet/Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
I love the way Ros summarises the entire script of Hamlet in 5 lines and then goes "so what's your problem again?"


The Player is such a different character in R/G!
He is extremely important - a voice for Stoppard really.
It would be a really good choice....

 

[haack_m]

thank you thank,
i will do the player, and i shall (hope) to succede

 

[lala2]

I wouldn't have minded doing Brave New World and Bladerunner--I read the book in Year 10 and I loved it--soma....mmmmmm...that's my idea of Utopia (being sarcastic). But it was a terrific book.

Anyway, I'm doing Hamlet and R+G are Dead, and we've only just started, so I have no idea what it's gonna be like.

For those people who are doing Hamlet and Ros and Guil, I thought it was extrememly cool and once you understand the concepts/themes, there will be nothing that can stop you getting great marks for this module. I did it last year and first hated it but then loved it cos it was my strongest module. And I got stuck with studying Hamlet AGAIN this year for uni .
Good luck

 

[manifestation]

im doing Chaucer. Pardoner's Tale and A Simple Plan omg it's hard stuff that!

 

[HayleeKate]

BNW is the most hideous book i've ever read. I feel sick when they're talking about the primary school kids having sex in the bush.. thats yukky to think about!! when mustapha mond calls the girl a 'fine specimen'.. thats child pornography not good literature!

I dont really understand the 'in the wild' thing, i dont actually think theres that much reference to mans relationship to nature in the book.. its a bit obscure.

ALSO: I HATE BRAVE NEW WORLD!!!

 

[sam777]

started to read brave new world in the chrissy hols coz we were told we had a diff teacher and when we got back to school we got told we had to start hamlet! something of which i happy with... hamlet is sooooo much better than brave new world and roz and guil is exactly like the fights me and my bestest have! much more fun than the other classes at my school had

 

[Riddles]

sure if your not doing Brave New World and Blade Runner you'd want to, i can understand you liking the book, but blade runner was so confusing, does everyone have to watch the diretors cut? and do you think Decard is a replicant? its just so trippy!!
i envy all those who get to do clueless and emma, they are classics!!

i don't like the book or the movie, but i still have to do thm\em though

and yes, i also find bladerunner confusing

 

[switchblade87]

H/r+g

Yeah, I'm doing Hamlet/Ros and Guil. In agreeance with most people, Ros and Guil is fairly easy to grasp, and Hamlet is just boring. I had to watch the Branner version of Hamlet also, as well as selected parts of the Mel Gibson version...that was very boring! Sometimes when my friends and I are feeling nerdy, we play the Ros and Guil question game...it combats boredom ok; for about 5 mins anyway.

 

[suger_plum]

im doing Chaucer. Pardoner's Tale and A Simple Plan omg it's hard stuff that!

its not necissarily hard. its more boring.

blade runner and brave new world are obvious favorites however. im glad im not doing those

 

[ChrissyG]

i'm doing Hamlet and Ros and Guil are dead.
I'm finding it fairly easy to grasp all the ideas in hamlet, but Ros and Guil are dead is confusing me alot, and i have no idea why they're doing what they're doing half the time, because none of it makes any sense! Right now, i'm meant to be doing as essay on it, but i can't get it done, because i have no idea what the question is really asking!

 

[hayley232]

I'm doing Hamlet and Ros and Guil. Seems like the hardest module we've dont this year!! Or ever....

 

[sando]

I thought Blade Runner (Director's Cut) was one of the worst movie's i have ever watched.

AFTER 10 minutes, you think this is goin to be a good story line.

Then u see all those wierd gothic people and the whole movie has taken a turn for the worse
