Hey guys how did u find it?

Personally thought it was pretty fair, maybe verging on easy, well it was easier than I expected. They tried to be smart asses in a couple of questions that I did, particularly module A in the wild and the Lear question wasn't really what i expected but it was all good didnt mind it at all.

Its all good, hope the hsc is this easy =)

In the wild question was crap.......they wored it badly I thought
I answered it alright but with that kind of wording I wasn't even sure if I was answering the question

Lear was alright but did people talk about productions, readings or both?

Truth one was easy

Hey,
I thought the exam was 'ok' - although my hand is dead after writing so much.

I done Ros & Guil / Hamlet. That question was alright, when it said to what extent does the new text give new ideas , i said it didn't and argued that it is a new perspective on the same ideas etc etc..

For Donne, I found it hard to relate it to the question of viewing the world, although I put for the religious poems u need a christian context of Donne's time to fully understand how he views the world, and for religious all people can see how he views the world.


For Frontline, it was alright, although i wish i would have left more time for the last section....

my teacher told me to prepare on a critical interpretation of King Lear so question totally screwed me.. other than that BNW/BR was alright and Frontline was good 'cept that I waffled on too much saying "ladies and gentlemen" and asking rhetorical questions etc. damn speeches :)

ye the wild question has dodgy wording, they shoulda put atleast a comma in the question.

i started writing bout fl on the techniques used to manipulate truth and then after a page i suddenly realised i was doing the wrong thing. Coz i read the question at the start and then juz started doing wat my instincts told me to do

:eek:

ham/RAGAD was sweet question.... so easy 2 relate 2 and was just plain simple

Frontline was simple but stressful cause i didnt wanna just retell the stuff

DONNE WAS FUCKED!!!!!!! I couldnt relate to the question at all
I hjad 20 minutes 2 write about it!
Im screwed for it cause i didnt get the question and made up stuff and just anaylsed 3 poems and how it shows the world etc (I made it up)

For Frontline I don't think mine was that good.


I just done an essay, but with a Good morning ..... and in the conclusion I said a few quotes and stuff directly to the audience (journalist), although i think I wrote it too muck like an essay....

i talked about the growing distancing between humans and nature, and how the 2 texts complement this idea thru content, context, style, medium, etc

ummm I think I went okay the BNW/BR question was a little werid it felt like it had 10 parts to it. Somtimes i felt like wasnt even answering the question.

Speeches Question was the best far very easy I was happy with it.

oh i'm soooooooo glad english is over for now...
i think my prose fiction (jane eyre) was the best... my frontline was tragic. i left it til last and to be honest couldn't be fucked doing it well, that would have meant thinking.
