"extract" - wrong word to use (2 Viewers)

[- jax -]

"extract" meant different things for different texts... i mean, for wuthering heights it could only refer to different critical perspectives because if its not that, what else could it be?? u couldnt write about anything else for wuthering heights....

Lazarus, ur definition is right, but i think its different for the texts... enough chatter about it, ITS OVER!!!

extracts were easy for poetry. one poem for every extract. the question suited some, not others.

"Extracts" wasnt used for all texts, for the poetry texts it used the word refer to TWO "poems", in the speeches it said refer to TWO "speeches", ATSIC website said refer to TWO "sections" of the website, multimedia said two "hypertexts" and so forth

It was used for prose fiction...

Any reckon the way they asked for 2 extracts was a stupid way to say two different productions. 2 extracts could also mean two scenes from the play....

OMG. That is the exact same as me. I just did both, but having our own interpretation as well? I just said how they affected an understanding of the original text and its universal themes. Thank god for reading time though...

i think we should all appeal. we should al receive 100% for this section because the word extract is too ambiguous when used in this sense.

WTF. are you sure you people really do english advanced?
if extract doesn't mean a scene from the text, what else does it mean? and even if you didnt know the exact meaning of the word, anyone with sense should be able to work it out.
