yep same. i think schools usually hire these old ladies as these type of supervisors dont distract teenage boys (well msot of them )

Nah I got two mid 20s, both distraction-worthy

Section 1 - I think I've gotten 13-14/15, answered everything but two points in the final question.
Section 2 - I wrote a mad creative story about an eSports player and made sure to have nothing to do with the game itself so the markers wouldn't be all "not another one of these zzz." Only 3 pages though. Slow writer etc.
Section 3 - I filled one booklet and then got through half a sentence in the next before time ran out.


Overall I'm assuming probably about 30-35 seeing as I only finished half of section 3. Honestly though I don't really care about English anymore. It'll be what it'll be. I'll just make up for it by being amazing in software & physics, aiming for 95 & 90 raw respectively.

(a) How does the image in text 1 portray a lack of connection?

"It is deeply ironic that he's alone in the city, yet you can't be alone in the city because there are so many people".

That was somewhat challenging. So was the "How does this depict the complex emotions assoc. with belonging?"

Fuck me, had no idea how to do that for text one.

Could the character reject, then embrace? I think I was super stressed and didnt read that properly :/ man im going to fail!

belonging commandments:
5) belonging is not static, it is constantly evolving
6) belonging is Faustian. you must give something up to earn more

[Kesa Latu]

I'm just so glad it was much more straightforward and easier.
Practicing past papers really helped.

Your point?

Whether or not there were two is irrelevant now is the point.
