Technique + Effect + quote +realte to question = Band 6OK its not my teacher shes great.. it's not that i don't try hard enough.
Im only here to relate to others out there who feel the same way..
i dunno if its a weakness or whatever, but it's weird. I'm getting 90% + for all my other subjects.. but for English i am around the 60% area.. I KNOW THIS IS BAD.... its horrible.
I don't know why i do so bad.. but i hate the fact that english inccorporates the ability to be creative, and have flair.. have great sentence structure and use high levels of sophistication.. thats where i lose marks. I've always been a person of logical thinking and right answer/wrong answer, so maybe this is why i do so bad. I don't know how to put it.. My uai and therefore my future career choice is influenced greatly by my english mark.. but i don't see how english or the ability to write suberb 20/20 essays could EVER coincide with careers in medicine which require an extremely HIGH UAI.
I hate how the mood of a marker can affect the mark of an english paper. In almost every other subject this wouldn't happen.. You answer the question correctly, you get full marks. With an english paper, there are 2884398234093248902348482348023408483428 possibilities of writing an answer, and each answer has 432342349234987234023492348842348234 reasons for the mark it recieved, ranging from use of quotes, techniques, punctuation/grammar, structure, sophistication, etc.. W.T. fucking F
Ill give you an example of what i mean. I dont want my weakness of writing band 6 essays on shakespearean literature, nor my incompetent ability to write exciting 'creative stories' on 'belonging', (which will never affect my future) influence my chance at a sucessful one... if that makes sense.
Thanks for hearing my bitch, now all the english lovers can blow some steam. Does anyone agree with anything i said? And please if your good at english.. please don't say how its 'easy' or i 'dont try hard enough'. If it came to science and mathamatics i would rape you. I guess it's just that i can't think outside the box? I'm not creative? I dunno..

Question : how does belonging demonstrate the value of belonging and indeed not belonging?
this is part of my essay with a reatled material for the crucible and a synthysis
“Nobody Understands” is a visual from the picture book “The Red Tree” by Shaun Tan who has shown a part of a little girls dark and uneven journey. The girl wakes up one day and Tan has effectively shown how the little girl values belonging and not belonging simultaneously through the colouring and the positioning of the image.
The girl is sitting in a bottle with a helmet on her head. The bottle is a symbol of a physical barrier which separates and ostracises her from the audience. It is evident here that she doesn’t value belonging, causing the audience to wonder why. Positioned on the far left of the frame, the bottle reveals that her separation is depressing and belonging is simply not an option and she only has herself for comfort. Her head is tilted to the floor which supports the title “Nobody Understands” because she has ostarcised herself and on one knows what she is feeling. The image is dominated by a bluish, black tone. These colours emphasises that the little girl depressions is largely gloomy, but white is being introduce in the distance which may suggest that there is hope for the little girl and she does value returning and belonging to her community.
Valuing belonging is a feeling that is almost non existent in the little girls mind. This is the exact opposite of Mary Warren. Mary desperately wants to be accepted into a group friends that her value for belonging affects her loyalty to the Proctors who forces her to tell the truth “you will tell the courts what you know”. Her loyalty is torn away from Proctor and she seems pretty content with the decision she has made. The little girl in “nobody understands” is affected by her hope to return to her society. Tan reveals her value to belong indirectly but gradually grows and she begins to realise belonging is enhanced by her need for self satisfaction to return to her community.
you get the idea???
