omg omg it was the most broad and easy question i have seen in my life..... all it wanted was themes and techniques unlike previous years questions where they were hard to understand and it was very similar to an essay i had done before so that helped too

yeah it was sooo easy i just wrote an essay generally on shoe horn.

yeh i know.......i mainly focused on their relationship and based that as the aspect that had the biggest impact on me.........lik i din even think themes........just thought friendship and their endurances thru evrithing and how misto uses dramatic techniques to show and develop and reconsile their relationship..........dis betta b rite

if they wanted themes i'm sure they would have said themes. aspects could be anything.

that's my interpretation anyway

 

[whaddup03]

for the shoe-horn sonata i just what techniques john misto used and gave them examples in each scene, there were only eight techniques i think(juxtaposition, symbolism, irony, humour, satire, multi-media, characterisation and stage direction)

wasn't there????

so?

 

[anju_th]

To all the shoehorn people

Yeh i suppose they wudve said themes...but friendship, reconciliation,bravery are all themes....iwrote their firendship in general and yeh they are the main techniques misto uses...juxtapositionn,projected images, etc....i showed their development of their relationship frm their first meeting and their reconciliation and built my dramatic techniques thru that...and also like the settings of the tv stage and the motel room how that shows a contrast of emotional things with factual things..one example of how i acked my essay...
did u ppl do similar things? :apig:

 

[Hottieflossy]

did anyone write in the first person for this question?

 

[Hottieflossy]

some1 else already asked that question. i spoke to my english teacher afterwards and she told us that if we had written in first person, marks would be taken off..thankfully i said audience and the responder

 

[anju_th]

Why shud marks b taken off? Didnt they ask what were YOUR thoughts?

 

[dannny_2223]

Your teacher obviously has no idea coz when they ask you what YOUR thoughts are they generally mean that they want your opinion!! You wont get marks taken off for writing in 1st person it doesn't matter how you wrote as long as you show how the text involved you...

 

[anju_th]

ohhhhhhh gooddddddddddd im dyin of a heart attach here lol

yeh thats wat i thought and i think the examiners wanted us to show that we understood they wanted our opinion on the text rather than a large audience

 

[Hottieflossy]

my english teacher is a HSC marker so she would obviously know. it basically was meant to be written in an essay form and you should never write in the first person even if it says what impacted on YOU.

 

[anju_th]

really??????crap i wrote in first person....but that's so confusinggggg

 

[Hottieflossy]

i wouldnt worry though, you werent the only person to do that..most of the people i know wrote in the first person...i dunno, maybe i'm in the wrong here...but im just going by what my teacher told me
