for the 3 marker about the art review it asked for "language techniques". I discussed the use of direct adress (prob should have put '2nd person') and present tense narration, but now I'm worried that maybe these don't qualify as 'techniques'... they are more like 'features', I mean is there a difference? Ahhh well, not that important.

meh

i had conceded defeat to this exam a long time ago.

heres predy much word 4 word what i said in second last question of section 1:

"the only reason y i can see the journey represented in this text is because 4 the last 2 years i have been trained to not enjoy anything i see or watch, but to instead dissect it into little pieces and extrapolate every single piece of useless information i possibly can. maybe apon reading this text two years ago, the concept of journey may have subliminally occured in my mind, but i would have been too busy focusing on the text itself to actually care. i suppose for the sake of a mark i could say that the brain and the photo of the mans head imply an imaginary journey of the mind, but i frankly dont really care, because i have had enough. hopefully i have given whoever is marking this paper mild entertainment, to the point where they mite give me an extra few marks? yes? no? ah well it was worth a try. until next time, take a journey. journey journey journey. journey."

i am not sharing what i wrote with u 2 be laughed at - or preached to for that matter.

i have done this out of sheer boredom and because i need to do something to distract me from studying for further exams.

peace out

for that why was it hard/ confronting to go into the art (i don't no exactly wat the question was but i wrote that he was uncomfortable due to the unconventional nature of the peice it was confronting experience because it would involve all the sense rather then just one or two, you know, people are always daunted by change.....something out of the norm in other words.....anyone else have somethin similar

Seems like semantics to me. I also listed second-person as a technique, and I think it's fine. There really weren't enough "language techniques" to pick out from that crap anyway.

There are psychiatric wards all over the country that go through various forms of paranoia induced by excessive HSC study of "the J-word." The patients generally come in three forms: the physical, who refuse to go anywhere because it could be construed as 'moral growth,' 'more important than the arrival' or 'increasing their understanding of...' Then there are the 'Imaginative Journey-survivors.' They vote Republican. And the Inner J-survivors go on rampages where they carve meaningful messages about the growth of their soul into the bodies of their victims.

Peace, ombre. You got off easily.

Yes i agree it was total crap, compared to all the other papers we've done i found that the hardest. I totally missed a 3 mark question! :( alot of other people ive talked to say they didn't finish the paper either! what is it with giving us a limited amount of time?? If they want us to right decent essays and be able to anwer all the questions properly (this includes Everyone, as not eveyone can write like a speeding bullet) they should add an extra hour at least, so we have an hour for every section. i think this is slightly fair??

Same here - I wrote it about 3 times....then scratching it out. I ended up writing "onamatapoea" and hoping the markers don't care THAT much about spelling....
