    Creative Writing

    Rate this out of 10. I'm curious. :) "Chance" The morning of June 29th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and...

    Question regarding choice of related texts.

    This might interest you: It's my suggestions for another student. I'm going to have to apologize, but the answer is no, and I get a lot of these questions all the time. The chief reasons are these: - Whilst it retains some themes about belonging, a 'pop' text like 'The Incredible Hulk'...

    Why isn't there a premium section

    Why do you even need premium when you have people like b00m, aerath and I, to answer all your questions? :D

    Themes in Suu Kyi's speech?

    Thanks? :) Er...can you rephrase this? I'll chalk it up to a rushed response, but you can't extrapolate like this. Peace does not link to females, never once does she even state this. She implies that "no war has ever been started by a woman" but you state the concept of peace is intertwined...

    Themes in Suu Kyi's speech?

    Please avoid these in speeches - this an an oversimplification of the notions of Module B. Whilst it is clear that Suu Kyi talks about the themes of peace, tolerance and women's right, you're not really addressing what all these factors add up to. A bit confusing I know, but you cannot link...

    Title as a technique

    The technique then, is not the 'title' but the words that make it up. For instance, of the title was: "Tongues and Trees, and Books in the Running Books" The technique would be alliteration, personification, and if you want to get even more deeper, the notion of animism - "the spirit in...

    estimate my ATAR???

    ^ at the posts in general Just so so you guys, doing well at school i.e. does not automatically mean you will do well in the H.S.C, as often, certain schools (especially selective) mark more harshly. And also, it also depends on how well your school fares. The exams on the day are also...

    Related Text: Going It Alone

    ^ That's what I thought, but I think Year 11s should be allowed, as it's Prelim, and if you are, I suggest you do it, as it'll give you better knowledge of Frankenstein during the HSC. Another text that epitomizes this genre is Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol" which is cautions against...

    Help with Creative writing on "change"

    Well, it should depend on you, but here's an interesting thought: Why not set a creative piece in Ancient Greece (Athens), about an aspiring male or teen longing to be like the famous writers Homer and Sophocles, who wrote about magnificent battles and wars with great precision and flare...

    is this even possible??

    ^ no, I'm sure it's an Extension History Topic. Considering I spent all that time researching him lol

    is this even possible??

    ^ @ Schoey93 er... wtf? Anyways, back to topic - in History Extension, it's more about the historian's views on him ie. the Camelot historians vs 'historians' such as Reeves, and then Robert Dalleck's view as a post revisionist historian. In Modern History, it's more about his actions...

    aos for preliminary eng advanced: related text

    Similar to another student, here's what I gave him: Shelley - "Frankenstein" A Romantic text that criticizes 'workaholism' - not only is Victor 'alone.' deprived from social life and family, but he has also brought into being a creature (Frankenstein's monster) that is utterly unique, and...

    Related Text: Going It Alone

    Mary Shelley - "Frankenstein" A Romantic text that criticizes 'workaholism' - not only is Victor 'alone.' deprived from social life and family, but he has also brought into being a creature (Frankenstein's monster) that is utterly unique, and 'alone,' and thus has no place in the overall great...

    can i get my atar?

    You must try to get 1st rank in all your subjects. And this is quite a loose question, but I think, (from what I gather) you will probably get 78 or higher. 98.55, I'm not so sure I'm afraid - even certain people who killed the HSC and get all band 6 don't get up to there. But hey, there's...
