People hate it when you end your story with "it was a dream" etc. and also if you have evil twins in your story. Seriously...

We did the Catholic trial, the essay for Section 3 was general so that was good; just take your prepared essay and add in "leads to understanding" several times. Section 2 I had a fair idea of a story but it turned out shit, which was the general consensus for the rest of my grade. Wrote about 2 pages.

The comprehensions were ok but I didn't like the contrast question.

Paper 2 will be a *lot* worse. Know nothing about BNW/BR or Lear.

I was going to write a story where I consider the pointlessness of my life before slashing my wrists after realising that I'm a vampire and an artist trapped in a mortal body... but then decided not to.

My teacher told our class to stay away from teen angst, as it's cliched and stupid.

Word of advice, don't listen to what your teachers tell you. Just do what's best for you.

Just out of curiosity, what else was on your teacher's list of things not to do?

-Keep away from using swearing unless it adds to meaning.
-Don't use colloquial language unless it's necessary, as it doesn't always appeal to a wider audience. Your audience is essentially the markers.

And so on.

Hey, I wouldn't worry too much if its on teen angst. 8 pages is really good! So im sure you'll get good marks. I don't believe the question was assessing you on creativity anyway, mainly on your understanding of journeys.

Basically my journal entries weren't original but I don't care, really got stuck for creative ideas at the time.
Basically its about a guy who is on a plane trip to the US then goes to Europe - a trip around the world.
I mentioned "Are we there yet?" a few times and thats how I related to the quote which I chose.
I related to journeys by talking about mans monumental achievements such as Eiffel Tower, Hoover Dam and my trip to the Grand Canyon when I was climbing it etc. I know pretty lame LOL!
