Hello all

'A good crime fiction writer is never restricted by the demands of the conventions of the genre' evaluate the success of writers of crime fiction in the light of this statement.

our half yrly was pretty similar to that ... we had to write about the big sleep + the real inspector hound + our own thingies.

i wrote about how conventions limit, and by subverting them they defy audience expectation making it more interesting, its able to stretch a genre.....it sets it apart from the rest. there just some starters.....were u after answers for anything in particular?

talk about the values and attitudes

check the rubrics, these 2 were in all the rubrics but most people didn't talk about them!

yeah that's good. from what i understood,you have to make sure you show you know the conventions, but that you also know how they can be used for other focuses and hence to show other values and attitudes
