Question probably threw people off because of its wording but in the end, it was not very comlicated at all. Yay for essays.

stupid question

i thought the question was ok but i didnt really know it was asking me to do so i just said all the time that the composers of the texts deliberately used certain techniques to emphasize how the characters interact and shit like that. i did this question last it took bout 35 minutes. but yeah i just made it up. is that right??

Noooo, I ran out of time! I think I understood the question, but my essay was like summarised three times coz I was out of time! My second related didn't even make sense >.>, I just put down the quote and didn't even get to explain (.\ /.)!! No conclusion either, so that just sucks!

I hated the question, but if fit well with my related texts than it did the prescribed I think. I used Dale Carnegie and a cartoon. Both of which I studied for this morning.

This question fit really well with my texts. First time I saw it I thought "I'm dead" but it ended up being a fairly good essay i think.

i had no idea what the quote was about, i was really really confused, i just ended up regurgitating out my normal essay and tagging the quote behind on paragraphs and stuff like that... i hope i answered the question, i sort had to cut my last bit on 1984 out, damn, it had technique and stuff as well!

ok really it comes down to ur interpretation.....at the heart of representation= your prescribed + selected texts and their representation of powerplay.

acts of delibrate selection and emphasis= How through clear examples, situations, developments, characters do composers emphasise their representation of powerplay..(e.g: political expediency over principle, victory of pragmatism etc)...HOW= techniques.....Really depends on how you look at the question.

Thats essentially how I interpreted it.
