Hi, the title says it all, as stupid as it sounds i found this on hsc online:
When you engage with a text you enter the world of that text for a short time. The rubric suggests here that in entering this world you may then experience and understand the possibilities presented by either belonging to, or being excluded from, the text and the world the text represents. For example, the online computer game World of Warcraft allows responders to interact in a virtual world with both the computer players and real players. When playing the game you belong to the online gaming community of players, your character belongs to a guild and you can set a home base or area to which your character returns or belongs. Due to the very interactive nature of this text, it is easy to understand how you can belong to a text.
And yes i am one of those sad sad people that spent 8 months of their life playing this game throughout year 11. But is it actually a text? lol and if so, usable!??
I've already got 2 very good related texts but this just kinda hit me when i saw it, a bit of controversy i know.
Cheers
