many interpretations

because the static image doesn't reflect the alteration of his identity, so creating the physical crease does nomsaying
yeah but it said why does he find it important, such a dull poet in my opinion

okay can someone tell me what a faking crease on a picture has to do with identity
The speaker gains a sense of identity through exploring ancestral connections. The creased image is symbolic of his tarnished and fragmented perceptions as he tries to overcome the impassable barriers of death and the passage of time....at least that's the bullshit I came up with.

One thing I learnt from this exam: READ THE QUESTION BETTER! I did not read the top of the creative and went quickly adapting it to the stimulus. Thank GOD it fitted well to what I wrote anyway.However, in the extended response I read it as "attitudes TO others" not "attitudes OF others." . God, I hope I'm not completely screwed, still did the choices part decently and the evidence I provided fitted the real question...except I focused more on what the character felt.

Did everyone do the bonus question on the back about the implications of rejection in modern society?

as long as you backed up your answers with quotes from each text it's pretty hard to mess up section 1. Unless your answer is full retard.

Goodbye band 5.
I lost focus in my essay. dunno what i was writing.

Writing time starts before I finished reading.

creative was alright but I cut a lot of it due to time management.

Goodbye world.

It should be overtly represented within your creative and easy to guess.

You won't lose marks. Heaps of people forgot to last year and still got 14/15
Awesome!
What about introducing your texts in the essay? How important is it to introduce ur texts ( prescribed and related) in section 3 ?
And, Do u have to directly state the themes or could they be overtly represented in the essay?
Lol, sorry for the question overload, it's a tad bit toooo late to ask now but meh just wanna noe how screwed I am. :L

Very important to introduce the texts lol

you can't just say

this notion of affinity is thoroughly explored in skrzynecki's anthology etc

then in the middle of your essay

nek min

oh and in the film ....

etc


but you shouldn't worry, because they only count your best two sections
