omg omg it was the most broad and easy question i have seen in my life..... all it wanted was themes and techniques unlike previous years questions where they were hard to understand and it was very similar to an essay i had done before so that helped too :)
yeah it was sooo easy i just wrote an essay generally on shoe horn.

if they wanted themes i'm sure they would have said themes. aspects could be anything.

that's my interpretation anyway

for the shoe-horn sonata i just what techniques john misto used and gave them examples in each scene, there were only eight techniques i think(juxtaposition, symbolism, irony, humour, satire, multi-media, characterisation and stage direction)

wasn't there????

To all the shoehorn people

Yeh i suppose they wudve said themes...but friendship, reconciliation,bravery are all themes....iwrote their firendship in general and yeh they are the main techniques misto uses...juxtapositionn,projected images, etc....i showed their development of their relationship frm their first meeting and their reconciliation and built my dramatic techniques thru that...and also like the settings of the tv stage and the motel room how that shows a contrast of emotional things with factual things..one example of how i acked my essay...
did u ppl do similar things?:eek: :confused: :apig:

Your teacher obviously has no idea coz when they ask you what YOUR thoughts are they generally mean that they want your opinion!! You wont get marks taken off for writing in 1st person it doesn't matter how you wrote as long as you show how the text involved you...

my english teacher is a HSC marker so she would obviously know. it basically was meant to be written in an essay form and you should never write in the first person even if it says what impacted on YOU.
