i saw bloody skrzynecki in person at the lectures. my first apperance of him was omg you must be fucking around with me, but it was so chubbish guy, with a bald patch.

Hhhmm, half-yearly exams on wenesday,

I guess i should read Huck Finn. But its SO boring!!!!!!

 

[Meldrum]

Ugh, too much F***leberry Hinn; ridiculous.

I just hate the characters in the book so friggin' much! What's more, the journey isn't even really that big on features of a physical journey. Fair enough it's got obstacles and catalysts and other such stuff but there's no definant ending or even a destination. What's more, Huck's a little twit who rides around on a log raft with a naked 30-year-old! Ugh.

I must say, though, I do like the duke, not the king, the duke. That duke has sttttttttttttttyle.

... that's a highly simplified definition there buddy. They won't grace any shit you write if it's poorly structured, regardless of what texts you do, that's why they make you do some related texts, to diversify the responses.

Immigrant Chronicle

Goddammit i hate skzynecki!!! My chosen related text is monty python and the holy grail. pretty hard to discern any 'inner journeying' as a result of physical journeying though!

yea he was weird...he came to our school last year and only talked to the polish people in the audience
my related texts is "the grapes of wrath" and "kandahar" , this fictional doco thing...

 

[stalk_if_u_dare]

Whew! Well i never read past chapter 12 of *shudder* Huck Finn & i had my half-yearly but luckily i remember the bit about Huck's plan to escape from his father from the cabin. So i crapped on about that has much as i could...so hopefully i might just get a pass mark. But then i heard that its going to be in the HSC (like duh roz!) and i guess i better read the fricking thing.....or cheat & watch the movie, will i stay awake though cause my fricking english teacher has already ruined the ending!
