Evan understands what Lynn is saying and feeling, but remember no one is truly your better and it is always important that you say what needs to be said, regardless of the other persons ego.

And again you are arguing the wrong point - the quality of a book has nothing to do with how influential it is. As for your view of the analogy - I could cite The Odyssey, but you might as well refer to Pwaryuex's post, 'nuff said. What exactly do you mean by "sheer depth of creation"? Do you...

The disk it was on is at class, and this class just happens to be the one I did externally at another campus...so I probably won't be getting anything back till the Board sends it. Now I only have my first draft:(

And you've hit the nail on the head - people love the Silmarillion because of fan loyalty to LOTR but if they had read the Silmarillion first they would likely not hold the same view. And if you want to write Argonaur, then start writing and keep practising because afterall as a friend once...

You are citing historical importance - yes Tolkien may have been the architect of the epic fantasy subgenre, but other writers have built on his ideas since then and executed them more effectively. It would be like saying that Christie's work is miles beyond say Snow Falling On Cedars when it...

I didn't say it was similar or even relate it to advanced, I merely stated that I found it odd that someone who wanted to make a major research project in such a humanities based subject as history would find english itself absolutely pointless.

Stop dwelling and start doing - negativity will get you no where. These are some(certainly not all) of the more accessible courses atm: Nursing Hospitality & Tourism Business & Marketing Information Technology Languages Construction See anything interesting? And don't forget...

It also surprises me that since you do Extension History, that you can't see the point of learning about English.

Believe me young padawan, you have only started on the road to ultimate fantasy.:) Become like Jhakka and follow my reccomendations so that you may take your steps towards fictional enlightenment. :D

Then why not set a minimum standard in english rather than compulsory UAI inclusion?

Agreed, Tolkien made a grand contribution to literature and its history, but his works are no longer the epitome of fantasy. I also think the *majority* of WoT is better than LotR but is still flawed. Robin Hobb, George R. Martin, Steven Erikson and China Mieville have composed far stronger...

In essence a genre is a collection of recurring conventions - whether it be crime fiction's nosy old women or fantasy's boy hero - that the responder almost assumes a text will have. However these conventions change and adapt to reflect social values, and therefore the genre evolves and survives...

Something that you've experienced that doesn't have anything to do with being a teen...hmm, think of your hobbies. Do you like animals? Then maybe write something like Milo and Otis that involves animals journeying, or do you enjoy rugby? Then write about a journey into becoming a celebrity...

Stickers! Could IPR have some BoS stickers please Fatmuscle? That way we can cover the camels in stickers.:D

I'd disagree with the complex part. This story needs to represent clearly the concept of the journey - you'd be looking at a basic concept which has communicated the concept effectively and complexity won't always do that, especially since there is a time limit to do it in. I agree completely...

Haha! Make me! *spanks camels!

What if I stuck a BoS sticker on a camels' head? Would that count as official BoS promotion?

Is that a challenge? *commences Asylum stalkage*:p P.S. CAMELS!!

Don't let some silly test tell you what you want, start out by getting a list of all the TAFE subjects and cross out the ones you hate(hate has nothing to do with how good you think you'll be), then start researching what course needs what, what do they qualify you in and since TAFE is so job...

what about Mac too? they have CAMELS!!
