Does anyone have decent stuff other than quotes on this novel?
It would have to be the most boring book I have ever read, trust our school to pick it.

i was annoyed that our school chose such a boring text, but it was necessary in order to select the other texts, which are actually enjoyable. i don't really have comprehensive notes, but considering you need to use atleast 2 other related texts, you can probably get away without studying it too much.

My Gord, what a boring text this is.

I'm afraid I cant help, only complain.

Do we know of any good aditional material?

My teacher says that "The door" and "sky high" are the best "Changing" texts. Any opinion on that?

well, they are the most common ones to do I guess, they are easy to talk about, unlike material such as fractals....
Incidently, I'm using the door

Yeah, I use the door and sky high. I also used a sentence on "Cats in the Cradle" for my trial :)

Please explain!

(Yes, "cats in the cradle" is a good text, but our teacher gave it to us so I was wary of using it in the trial ...)

I liked it.
You won't like it after you've read this version. In fact you'll want to go back in time and give Sally Morgan a brain hemhorrage before she wrote that piece of junk.

it wasnt THAT bad, was it?
i mean, it wasnt THAT long was it?

it didnt lack THAT much plot did it?
its characterisation wasnt THAT uninspiring was it?
it was TOO self indulgent?

AHHHH please dont mention those two poems!! lol

sorry,just that last term our teacher was referring my palce to them so many times a lesson it just wasn't funny

but besides that,yeah its probably good to relate my place to that
just make a whole load of crap up about how sally had "her door in front of her and she chose to open it"

I'm glad to find more people who like me are doing changing self for year 12 this year/last term or whatever.my class is the only one out of like 5 advanced classes in our school doing self rather then perspective
