Something like:

How do 2 or 3 extracts contribute to your understanding of the whole play.

Something like that, no theme specified.
Doesn't sound that hard - most of your quotes come from the key soliloquies anyway. It's just about following where in the play you are quoting from, which you should know anyway if you chose those quotes...

I think it was, 'how context shapes values and form'.

Texts are products of their environment. Explore how the context of your prescribed texts powerfully affects form and values'

Thank god its over.

I started with the last question which was into the world... Did it quite confidently filling one and a half booklets.
I did the Witness question next and that was alright. It was difficult to understand. (Agree with lfcserg). I used the themes I practiced and tried my hardest to merge them into the question on Book. Should be alright. Did one full booklet.
I hated the Distinctively Visual question. I was just out of it and didn't want to continue as it was a rush to try and do something to get at least a few marks. Only did an opening paragraph and a bit about the provided text. Didn't finish that question. The person marking it might think where the hell is the rest of the essay...
what were you witness and distinctively visual questions?
we didn't do CSSA but our teacher made up some bs questions that were quite difficult..

yeh it's widely regarded as the worst poem in the collection. and it's no small coincidence that it is also the longest. around 8 pages iirc. also very hard to extract much from it.

This, it's long as fuck and just annoying to analyse since it's broken up into 5 sub-poems.

Fr/BR - 6 pgs
Hamlet - 4 pgs (not so good)
Justice Game - 5 pgs, not too sure how I did
That hamlet question was so surprising, like it was almost to general to know where to specify.. I picked an extract from beginning, middle and end.. I think i failed mod b....

Anyone else doing The Justice Game for mod c?

the question may as well have said:
" Throughout the duration of your course, you have studied texts in time and how context shapes values. A week ago, you memorised a generic essay. Please regurgitate ."
+>9000

I thought every question so far has been fairly generic, over Paper 1 and Paper 2.
One of my good friends who does DT said they were also fairly generic.

In the hamlet question, was it two extracts of your own choosing? or did they give the extacts to you?

It was 2 OR 3 extracts of your own choosing.
that is so unfair for slessor ppl who get five visions specified... 2 or 3 extracts of your own choosing is so vague... they might as well have not said that and it wouldve meant the same thing

I have gotten my Hamlet and Frankenstein/Blade Runner essays back, 12/20 and 17/20 respectively. Not too shabby (compared with my cohort anyway).
