Hello! I'm here to help. It seems like you want to compare how two different sets of images provide insights into the universal aspect of conflict within the collective human experience. The first set of images refers to historical conflicts, while the second set involves an advertisement depicting emotional contrasts during a sports event. Let's analyze each set and how they relate to the concept of conflict within the collective human experience:

Set 1: The Anglo-Spanish War (1585–1604) This set portrays historical conflicts between the Kingdom of Spain and the Kingdom of England during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. These conflicts involved privateering and battles, even though the war was never formally declared. Here are some insights into the universal aspect of conflict:

  1. National Rivalry and Power Struggles: The conflict between Spain and England reflects a universal theme of national rivalry and power struggles. Throughout history, nations have often clashed over resources, influence, and dominance, leading to conflicts that shape the course of events.
  2. Disruption of Peaceful Life: The intermittent nature of the conflict demonstrates how even intermittent or "undeclared" conflicts can disrupt the lives of ordinary people. War brings uncertainty, fear, and upheaval, affecting individuals' daily lives.
  3. Impact on Individuals and Society: The conflict likely had a profound impact on individuals who were directly or indirectly involved, showcasing the wide-reaching consequences of conflicts on both personal and societal levels.
Set 2: Advertisement for World Cup 2023 Final This set portrays emotional contrasts between players from the Spanish women's soccer team and the England women's soccer team during the World Cup 2023 final. Spain's players appear happy, while England's players seem distressed. Here are insights into the universal aspect of conflict:

  1. Emotional Turmoil: The advertisement captures the emotional turmoil experienced by individuals during competitive events. This emotional rollercoaster is a universal experience, as people often invest their hopes, efforts, and emotions in contests of all kinds, seeking victory but also experiencing the potential for disappointment.
  2. Rivalry and Intensity: The contrasting emotions of happiness and distress among the players represent the intensity of competition and rivalry. This intensity is a reflection of human nature's drive to excel and achieve, which can sometimes lead to conflict both on and off the field.
  3. Unity and Identity: Despite the emotional contrasts, the advertisement also showcases the unity within each team and their respective national identities. This reflects the dual nature of competition—bringing people together within a team while also emphasizing differences and competition against others.
In both sets of images, the underlying theme of conflict is explored from different angles. The historical conflict highlights geopolitical tensions and the impact on nations and individuals, while the sports event advertisement portrays emotional conflict within a competitive context. These insights contribute to our understanding of conflict as a fundamental aspect of the collective human experience, present in historical, social, and emotional contexts.

legit so much
Overall

  • This was a challenging question as students needed to make the connection between the extract provided and their own personal analysis of the broader textual conversation.
  • Students struggled to address the whole question. Students needed to use the extract in their response holistically. Mentioning a quote or two does not effectively address the question of how it “contributes” to a broader textual conversation.
  • Stronger responses had a sustained personal voice and recognised the metafictional qualities of the extract in relation to a broader textual conversation, and utilised ‘escape’, ‘restraint’, or ‘shadow’ as a core concept in their overall thesis statement. In fact, the extract really lends itself to discussing metafiction/metatheatre since the characters are discussing the characters from the play.
  • While ‘shadow’ was a popular conceptual statement, students needed to elaborate on their ideas in more detail. Simply acknowledging Hag-Seed as a shadow of the original text was not sufficient enough. More perceptive students recognised Atwood “detaching” from the original text as a distinct text while also acknowledging The Tempest’s canonical status in order to skilfully engage in a textual conversation.
  • Some of the more stronger thesis statements discussed included:
  • The idea that new narratives were explored.
  • Our understanding of multiple perspectives was enhanced.
  • Encouraged oppressed voices/narratives to be expressed.
  • Dangers of a singular narrative
  • Students often wrote about colonialism and patriarchy, but often did not connect the ideas through their thesis into a more cohesive response. For the HSC, students should prepare a wider range of arguments in order to be able to adapt to a diverse range of questions. The transformative power of art and metatheatricality need to be reviewed.
  • Students often connected their ideas to Prospero, Caliban, and Miranda in their responses and needed to make sure they were looking at the nuances of the characters and text. You are limiting yourself if you suggest that the Jacobean England context influenced the oppression of Shakespeare's characters and Atwood is a progressive who has advanced the rights of all characters.
  • Students must work on their adaptation skills in preparation for the Trials and HSC. Many students prepared for Question Two, but then included “mirror and refract” without a purpose in their response to Question Three which affected their expression. Students need to work on writing clear position and linking statements that have relevance to the essay question and the language of the Module.
  • Students needed to actually engage with the concept of textual conversations and the dialogue between texts, with the idea of Atwood responding to Shakespeare’s play. You could have discussed the death of the author and how that affects our perception of the texts.
  • The majority of students were able to analyse the extract in their response. If an extract is given, you must use it and cannot ignore it in your technical analysis.
  • Students needed to analyse the texts holistically and consider textual form. Students should revise their understanding of metatheatre and metafiction. If students refer to these in their essays, they need to actually discuss it in their body.
  • Stronger responses recognised the distinct forms of each text and used it to drive their analysis.
  • There needs to be more genuine engagement with context in responses. While more students are using context in their analysis which is a positive to see, students still need to work on making genuine connections rather than tacking it on. For example, acknowledging colonialism is basic but recognising the irony of Christian Humanist values in conflict with Colonial power structures of Jacobean England was more perceptive.
  • Sidenote! ‘Of Cannibals’ is an example of cultural relativism with Montaigne suggesting that a Eurocentric viewpoint should not be applied to an Indigenous context. Please do not just tack it on to suggest that Caliban is portrayed as a cannibal or savage.
  • Students often used the same techniques. Students need to understand the whole text, and need to find their own examples to develop their own personal responses.
  • Most students did show a really strong understanding of the prescribed texts, which is great to see.
  • Ensure that the names of texts are underlined throughout your response, not just the first time it has been mentioned. Make sure capitals and the hyphen are placed in the correct places, i.e. The Tempest and Hag-Seed.
Note the spelling of lens and lenses (lense is not a word).
