my first para would be on how unbridled ambition corrupts - but pacino takes on a more ambiguous approach w a positive outloko on ambition to reflect postmodern america
my second para would be on how superficial identities ultimately face downfall + importance of public support in politics (which is something that is still relevant) - but this would be where i start talking abt religion more for kr3

ngl ive never split the rise and fall like this into 2 paras so idk if it's correct/effective

does anyone actually know how to write a discursive. i literally can't!

also do you reckon i even bother with discursives since last year was discursive so i dont reckon they will force it upon us, right?

prepare for everything lol discursives are simply about exploring two different ideas and use anecdotes (can be made up). honestly discursives should be one of the best to write asw compared to imaginative or persuasive

u need statistics for a discursive right? so like do u just make them up if the topic doesn't work w ur pre planned one?

erin_4school · Oct 11, 2025

also for adapting essays, how many times do u guys recommend referring to the q per paragraph? like at the end of every evidence cluster or like every few?

my teacher said refer to q in the topic sentence and then in the analysis for every quote and in concluding sentence, for each para. otherwise, you run the risk of just topping and tailing and hsc markers hate this apparently

A good discursive gives the reader food for thought, and many people like to do that through logos - further, statistics are helpful in the edge case of persuasives. But statistics are just another form of evidence, and as long as you have any sort of supporting evidence, be it statistics or anecdotes or intertextual allusions - and a variety of these - and they support your point, then it is a good discursive. Statistics are one of those easier pieces of evidence to find which may be why your teacher advised it, as for Mod C many people look for a formula through which to make a good piece.

i think by statistics she means like references to the wider world

for example in my discursive i mention a tiktok video i saw related to my topic and i also mention a psychologist thats spoken abt the issue i raised, its sort of to make it look like ur connecting ur discursive to the wider world, not necessarily like finding out 39% of people smoke every year

Huh is this eco. But honestly just make up one that seems believevale cause they won’t search it up. At least for business studies, my teacher who’s a hsc marker says that they aren’t allowed to search up if ur case studies are correct so u can make up stuff. So maybe it’s the same for Eng
