Well what did you think of the exam? I was amazed at the dialogue question, it was so basic; something like "What have you leanred from studying dialogue?" I mean, you could bloody well have said anything, well almost.
Other sections I did were COnsumerism and also Witness, both were fairly alright.
I wrote something like 19 pages in total and I think this year's HSC for english ,both for paper 1 and this paper have been made soooooo much easier this year... but I dont know if this is good or bad for the average to good student? what do you think?
How do you rate the exam from difficulty.. 1 is eaisest and 10 is hardest.
hrmm i give it about 4.

It wasnt difficult but i think having such easy exams set is not good to distinguish betwene the average and the excellent studetn!!!
damn BOS!!

The exam was pretty basic, especially the consumerism bit as it was more based on what we thought on the subject and what it meant to society, so the texts really had little or no relevance though it was initally very easy to relate it all together.

However, if anyone else done navigating they might have been a little surprised as i was as they asked the question on Dick and Pam Shaw who really weren't the main characters and in my mind didn't really play as much of a contribution to the drama as did the other key players, however i still believe i went well and only wish i studied the thoughts and actions of Pam and Dick Shaw a little more.

Section 1 i was pretty happy with. There was really no right or wrong answer. It was about what we learnt so i think it is fair to say that everyone would have had atleast a bit to write on their prescribed text.

Well i wish you all the best of luck and i hope that for all the other exams, when u walk into the room to do them, the questions read exactly what u want them to.

Best Wishes

I did Truman show (image)
Shoe-Horn Sonata (close study of text)
Bruce Dawe (consumerism)

and i gotta admit section I and III were the easiest exams questions of all the past exams questions ive ever seen

they were so broad you can write anything you damm well please and not be marked down because u got off the topic

I hated section II though. I went in prepared to write about the characters and their relationships etc but we got asked about how does the writer bring dramatic form to the play....

could only write 4 pages so i dunno how well i did

i knew paper 2 was gonna be piss easy coz i thought they totally stuffed up paper 1!!! I thought it was slack that they gave us a feature article and how section 2 was related to section 1, plus i hated that cicada poem that was so dumb!!!
So ye i kinda thought they had to make up for it so im really happy with paper 2!!
I wrote like 17 pages all together hopefully the content was ok ;)

Section 1 & 3 were easy, but section 2 was a bit iffy.

I did dialogue, the club
Closed text study, briar rose &
Consumerism, Bruce Dawe

I wrote a total of 24 pages for it
Filled a booklet for each of them

We were made to have at least 3 pieces of related material for The Club and Bruce Dawe so I had so much to talk about on those broad questions.

Although most of my related material was given to me, I did drama last year and I saw The Removalists and A conversation, both by Williamson, and they helped a lot. I also used the I Have A Dream Speech by Matin Luther King.

For consumerism I used these two documentaries we saw at school and fight club.

I hope all my other exams are easy.
