I interpreted it as power = emotional response, truth = traditional history
(basically discussion of the interplay between history and memory)

For people who did Hamlet, how much did you actually write related to the extract?

Did any other FrankenBladers have to fill their booklets with mental gymnastics?

I thought they were all ok
I was pretty much cheerin for Module C
Module A was alright
Module B - could have been worse

My biggest crapper was time - an extra 10 minutes would have been golden

But oh well, everyone gets 40 mins (even though that's shit)

Hahahaha I want to say yes just because that sounds cool. But, to be honest, my prepared essay had a lot to do with ambition and the like, so it didn't take much moulding. But yes, some of the time, mental gymnastics was undertaken.

I actually found Mod C for Shakespeare perfect :D, and speeches was pretty good despite my last night preparation for Deanne and then I managed to ignore reading the extract... because I thought it was a review on the text and I was like 'lel this isnt important' and then I finished the exam and 'oh'. Woops...

Didn't really like the question for mod A all that much though :/

My memorised essay already contained a significant amount of material from the extract.

Yeahhh I think I went really irrelevant on that question and I pretty much had nothing about the changing perspectives except in relating to Victor who wanted to be recognised for his creation and then when he brings life to it wants nothing to do with it, but that was it couldnt even think of one for bladerunner :/

Crap, I interpreted it completely differently. I was like the view we are presented of the past are written by the 'winners' of history as they are the ones with the power to influence representations :/
