Postmodernism is awesome. There are a few people in my class who can't stand it, so I guess it's a pretty personal choice, but I honestly think it's the most exciting and valuable thing I've come across in my entire school life. The texts are fantastic and really challenging (well, Orlando and French Lieutenant's Woman are, not sure about Dead White Males) and the things I'm learning from this module have complelety changed the way I view everything from history, to pop culture, to literature, to art...it's just so broad, it alters your whole mindset. Plus it relates to every other subject I do, which has really helped me clarify the concepts.

Am I gushing?

heh. yes! but we'll forgive you coz it's nice to see someone actually enjoying the subject they do for once.

anyway, i do I&S - it's really a great topic, very interesting (and the fact that you get to see Colin Firth in the wet shirt scene in P&P over and over again does help just a little...*sigh*). the only problem with this module is that there is just sooooo much to say that you can't possibly ever include it all. or even a big swag of it. from what i hear, the other end of the spectrum to the problem the ppl in RFTG are having.

Post-modernism is great, but be warned it is quite hard to click and read at first. Once it 'clicks' then you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.

i do RFTG and its a big of a drag in my opinion truth be told. Its one of those things where i reckon they are trying to pull something out of nothing. The texts are nothing great either. but thats my opinion. there are people out there who love RFTG i'm sure...

I do I&S and it's not too bad. I don't hate it but it doesnt particularly spark my interest that much either...

i am doing retreat as well and so is ziff

 

[frazzle]

I'm doing I&S. I don't mind it, but the topic would be so interesting if it wasn't restricted to only the 19th cen, that's a bit frustrating, as I'm not 19th cen-minded at all! and I really don't understand all the fuss over Colin Firth!?

If I had a choice, I'd have picked postmodernism, I've been doing it in art and society & culture, and basically everywhere, just not in depth, and it sounds really interesting.

but... a week to go till the HSC!

RFTG.

I hated it at first because I thought it was a stupid, uninteresting module and the prescribed texts were re-writes of the same story/dull and boring. I'm also not quite liking the fact that every text we read in Yr 11 was Indian... now they're all from "Newfoundland" and/or weird places called "Killick-Claw" that have major issues with the weatherman.

Later, I'm finding I like it because it's so specific and thus relatively easy to write about... it's quite hard to find related texts though :S It's also hard to get through any of the texts without dear old Mr E going through them...

I do Retreat from the Global and I hate it for a multitude of reasons

I dislike Seamus Heaney's poetry, and the link between some of the poems and RFTG is very tenuous, I think.

My class also has issues with the name. Every lesson we seem to bitch about how global is an adjective and it's not possible to retreat from an adjective! Petty, yes, but that's how much we loathe RFTG.
