Could've talked about memory contrasting history and vice versa. The site is all documents, then 'conversations' has pure perspectives, another conflict. Pretty good question IMHO.

 

[BlakeOlivo]

I guess so. However, would they mark you down for going on about the American bias and the perspective of the Americans? I know that is what a lot of weaker responses tend to do, but this question was basically asking for it.

DAMN! half way through my Mod A essay (frankenstein/blade runner) I realised I had the wrong position - I said although there are similarities, differences are more revealing....NO!

can I still get a decent mark even though the my position and argument was wrong? :S

That's exactly what I did too...we can only hope...it'll depend on each teacher's marking standards (prepares to die)

The question said 'to what extent' so you could take any position on the question as long as you could back it up.

lmao i spoke about how the differences in the characters appearances revealed more
im so stupid rofl

You should get marks if you justified what you said. Justify/to what extent means no right or wrong answer - just prove it

Can anyone quote the history and memory question?, im comparing it to the independent paper

 

[timeslowsdown]

Oh gosh for paper 1 I think I misinterpreted the essay question which is bad because my other sections will be worse. Paper 2 I think was better but you can never really tell. But both weren't my best - although chemistry was really good lol

lol hahaha for the frankenrunner one i said differences help reveal the similarities
The hamlet was was perfect for my prepared essay lol

The question asked if they revealed more than similarities, though

Can you do that? Some people told me you had to manipulate your essay, not the question (i manipulated the question to suit my essay) xD

What are you talking about? All my exams were CSSA and we got them all back (I'm sure others did too) + because a majority of my class didn't 'want' the english one, I just asked my teacher individually, and other people in my class did aswell...
