    Shortlisted for Young Writers Showcase

    I think its because EE2 is the entirety of the course and we're not eligible for the mark till we sit EE1 & Advanced I suppose, basically if you freak out and drop on the day of EE1(as is your right) they can't just unaward that 50/50 mark(ie Showcase eligibility) can they?

    A Question

    Basically the subject matter is all about what *you* want, you can still do well if you do crime or fantasy or romance however there has been a trend(or bias depending on who you talk to) towards works that are "postmodern" and "augustine" so to speak. This doesn't mean though, that a work *has*...

    Chemistry Debates

    CFCs are Chlorofluorocarbons. In other words they are halo-alkanes in which all H atoms have been replaced by Cl and Fl. They were made to replace ammonia in fridges and stuff(I think cos the ammonia was poisonous, no?). CFCs destroy O3 as they form free radicals which "latch" onto O3 and...

    omniscient perspective - from an all knowing, all understanding point of view ie third person. authorial intrusion - when the author makes a direct statement to the reader by comment or self characterisation. I don't do Emma so I really can't give you any examples. EDIT:And you don't need to...

    Memorizing Essays.........

    Ok, its like this. Lets say all exemplars have to be "good and higher", now a "perfect" essay fits in the category of good and higher so therefore is an exemplar. However, there are alot of essays that fit the description of "good and higher" that aren't "perfect" so alot of exemplars aren't...

    Disadvantage forms

    You can, but you have to get a tonne of extra paperwork and submit a copy to each uni you want to go to, and not all of these(in fact most won't) will accept the forms. However if you filled everything out as quickly as possible(ie tonight/tommorow morning) and went to Homebush and gave it in by...

    Area of Study + Modules separate marks?

    lol, I like Miyazaki's work but I have not yet had the pleasure of watching Mononoke as of yet. I hear though, that its wonderfully gruesome at some points.:) EDIT:Time warp is sooo sexeh!! wooooh!

    Area of Study + Modules separate marks?

    No, you just get your Advanced/Standard results reported as a whole - even if you pay to get individual papers remarked you don't find out. EDIT:timewarpin goodtimes!

    quick q about paper 1

    Hmmm...with AOS section III, it is generally expected that it'll be an essay though there *is* leeway for it to be other mediums. What must be remembered though, is that this paper is held in common by Advanced and Standard, so I am not sure if they would present anything too out there. This...

    Latin scaling

    1. Don't worry about scaling, it fluctuates from year to year. 2. Latin always has more scaling than you could shake a stick at, especially Extension. 3. Scaling of subjects isn't *that* big of a deal if you perform well anyway.

    The Animatrix: The Detective Story

    Its actually a good idea to use something like this because its suitably 'out there' when compared to what alot of people pick but it still has oodles of conventions. From what I can remember the detective himself was conventional - had most of the stereotypical detective qualities. Commenting...

    CF Composing

    I agree with nwatts about parody - don't do it unless you are an absolutely superb writer with a fantastic idea. I've tried parodies on several occasions as apart from Poe style I can't do much else with genre, and the response I have gotten every time was "Keep it simple". Basically what I'm...

    Subjects- 'What not to pick...'

    No. No. And just no. Its less cramming than Advanced and less idiotic but it *is* more work. Most of the people who do Advanced shouldn't really be doing it - they don't like Shakespeare and they don't want to follow up on anything related at uni or TAFE, but they do it because of the way the...
