i'm hoping for maybe a 15 marker creative for section one and perchance a reflection? if we get an unseen text, might cry

i'm doing literary mindscapes but i'm hoping for an essay question that isn't module specific because my paragraph points are kinda broad and pretty much yoinked from the rubric tbh so if i get a question that mentions something specific (like memories, desires, etc) i'm cooked.

and any world of Upheaval thoughts? i feel good about that my essay is solid
i feel like they might use one of those weird listed words in the rubric:
'experiences of individuals and communities seeking unity, certainty, solace, justice or restoration'
but i have no real reasoning for this lol - only done the 2019 and 2020 hsc papers so far..

idk whether i should bother having quotes for waiting for godot.. my school did frankenstein, metropolis, & godot and i've never used godot for anything really

it's nice to see another mindscapes student on here haha! i'm doing emily dickinson's poems, katherine mansfield's short stories, and sixty lights by gail jones - how about you? i wish i had gotten the chance to do lost in translation, but oh well

my teacher wants me to reference a specific psychoanalytic theory in my section 2 essay but idk if i can naturally include it without it coming off as forced 😭 bit cooked

For worlds of upheaval I'm thinking it'll likely be something specific, probably addressing some aspect of "individuals and communities seeking unity, certainty, solace, justice or restoration in periods of significant social and political change and upheaval.", as this hasn't been asked yet.

The question will also likely be a "how does this enhance your understanding of ...", as its only been asked in 2019, and everybody adooooressss personal understanding questions.

i feel in general nesa are leaning towards more personal responses - whatever form that takes. i feel like we are going to get an unseen text for section 1 as theyre also trying to move away from preprepared responses. after that cssa trial my hopes are on the floor and yeah... hoping for a full 25 creative ngl

yeah that's what I think
not a fan of nesa's obsession with personal understanding tbh... idk if I'd prefer a "to what extent" question though

if its a discursive i will shed a silent tear but at least ive already suffered through the cssa one. it wouldnt surprise me at this point tho tbh

im predicting personal understanding because of that + its the best at catching people relying on ai to write their essays
