I think it doesn't matter how you get your fail [whether due to withdrawal or poor marks] , it'll always have the same effect on your grades.

I thought that 'Missy' only stabbed the knife through his clothes so he was stuck to the doorframe long enough for her brothers and father to arrive. The thing that was running through my mind was more about how difficult it would be to get a little kid to do that part lol. I'm also a tad...

meaning = stuff, ideas, thoughts, concepts, messages etc. And by manipulating the genre they get a message across - for example, having a female detective(an 'unsuitable job for a woman') gives off a feminists commentary on the traditional gender roles in crime fiction (christie's female...

This is basically a collation of my responses to similar questions, so this'll be a little bit long... In first year, your studies will be divided up into four areas: Your core: * Communications and Media type stuff - basically study how the media interacts with our society, culture...

With Big Sleep you've got employment ==> crime ==> discovery ==> 'justice' which reveals things about how the genre is structured if you compare it with the structure of The Skull Beneath the Skin. You could also do Big Sleep from a structuralist perspective on the romance - boy meets girl etc...

I know in NSW, we can change our preferences for quite a while after we've received our admission results so you probably can change it. Check with QTAC first though. There are also Late Rounds if you don't make it in immediately. EDIT:I'd also add, that QUT and UTS are both ATN unis and...

Its more about the form of the story - the plot and plot devices, which can be character archetypes but not neccesarily.

I went to it last year, some concepts where covered in an interesting fashion but the problem with it is you can't cover the entire course in that period of time - so aside from a handful of interesting ideas I found it to be a bit of a waste. Well its an educational resource made to help you...

Woah, haven't been in this thread in ages, well here goes: You need to think of how The Big Sleep defies and re-affirms harboiled conventions [think misogynistic traits, misery of the mean streets, the detective standing alone against corruption and also how the hardboiled conventions are...

I can't tell you about those unis in particular, but I can tell you that you shouldn't be choosing based on prestige. In the 'arty' industries you'll find experience is more important than a degree, and it won't make your degree more prestigious if you've gone to a prestigious uni with a weaker...

Just make sure you contact whoever is in charge of your course and explain things to them. There's a pretty good chance you can come to some kind of arrangement about the assessments and so forth.

Blasphemy!:eek: Myself, I disliked Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen more than any other book. I have never managed to get past the first chapter no matter how many times I tried, its like a magnetic effect - I can't be near that book. I also have a distaste for the Silmarillion by J.R.R...

I think alot of that occurs because of a certain UAI oriented mentality in teachers - who both instruct the students on what to write and evaluate it once its been written. There is a lot of good things(and bad) in the syllabus, and if you had teachers willing to explore it with you as well as...

You can't just study a single module with a different school while doing the rest of the subject with your main school.(which is technically what you're asking) If you want to study Forensics you'd have to do it in your own time which will be difficult since you'll have to learn shipwrecks for...

Since when is there a set of by laws dictating what makes a person natural? Especially when its how they are born? I'd also like to mention that there's already been evidence given that homosexuality predates the ascendancy of homo sapiens. So it was probably already in our genetic...

The Bonobo(or Bono, can never remember which) Chimps do, and they are certainly without social influences while still having a plethora of biological similarities to us. The Samibian also practice a form, where men are all exclusively homosexual(also paedophilliac by our social standards)...

No - it just wouldn't be the chick turning you on. If you were aroused by something else you would still be able to use your erection in that situation.

Firstly: You don't need to go crazy with structuralism as that isn't the focus of the module, if it deepens your understanding and your teacher expects you to say something internally then fine - just don't get flustered over it.(As an added note, I think you were the one interested in...

How is sex with the person you desire unnatural? Especially when it occurs in nature without human influence/intervention, and has done so since far before our civilizations. And regardless of being straight or gay - being unable to have children is not a disability. A disability is...

Sometimes its easier to do it without the translations as you'll find if you don't try to rip it apart word by word, the meaning starts to soak in on its own. It also helps you familiarise yourself with the language structure since you will have to quote it as is when in exams rather than...
