arghhhh yes -
I used a lot of techniques for that, shit like the symbolism of their watches upside down, it conveys unity and connection amongst each other, but the idea that they're upside down is a paradox which also symbolizes disconnection and disinterest in the school

According to CSSA you're not allowed to do the paper after the specified date.

Problems:

Section 1:
Didn't understand that stupid text about the new kid in the school. Techniques? Stooped low to personal anecdotes/symbolism.
That poem. It was easy to understand but the only thing in it was contrast and juxtaposition. Wtf.

Section 2:
Let's not go here, I wrote better in School Cert.

Section 3:
Initially I had trouble adapting but I think I got through.

you are allowed to do it after that date but CSSA is saying it is only safe to do it on the specified date so if schools do it after they risk having an unfair trial

I spent way too long on my short answer section (which probably panned out okay-ish) and the essay (which was also relatively decent) so I literally had like 25 minutes for the creative and it didn't link very strongly to the stimulus, so that's where all my marks are gone :(

Started with section I then III lastly II

Amazed that I wrote 3 and a bit pages for the essay. Thought that wasn't possible.
