I do Wuthering...

Hey, I am doing Wuthering Heights, but I am hardly a great student so I can't give you an adequate mark or whatever. A few things I noticed:

- You have limited quotes
- Perhaps more relation to the question quote would be beneficial
- To me it seems you are using elements of the "Transformations" module, as you mention context a lot and transforming... Don't confuse the two.

I hope that helps a little, I really dislike WH, and am poo at it.

Hey I do wuthering Heights as well.

I-d give you something like a 15-16.

I thought it was very sophisticated, good command of language. But way too off topic at the start. Sure some context is favourable, but it seems that nearly half of your essay is all on context. Secondly, you have very little evidence, and this is a big feature of the marking guidlines (Markers believe that only 1 text should equal 15+ quotes and 10+ techniques).

Also, I know it sucks to hear it cos i've got the problem as well, but its way too short. People in my class are writing 3 A4 pages exactly the same font and spacing..... No matter how you think about it, even if their work isn't as succinct as yours, theyre still getting out double what you are, and this does not work in your favour.

You writing style is very readable, and if you memorise or are able to recreate that in the HSC, I'm sure you'll kill it. You, switchblade, me and the other 3 people doing wuthering heights in NSW should all go well haha.

I HATE HEATHCLIFF AND THE ENTIRE TEXT WITH A PASSION!

I cant wait for it to end... and get onto study that will actually do me good. ARGH. All the best for the exam... I'm leaving WH to last and focusing on Hamlet and Frontline. So may the creative juices flow for you, as i hope that they will flow for me! =)

Hey i do wuthering heights, our class is the only class in our school doing it and its shithouse, and our teacher isnt exactly being of much help with anything other than area of study lol. We ask her how to do transformations or wuthering heights or telling the truth and instead she explains how to do area of study. Sorry i didnt read ur essay but im not real good at judging other peoples work, it seems that the ones i think r good get shit marks and the ones i think r shit get good marks alot of the time lol. So where are all you wuthering heights people from?
