i thought it was fairly easy and straight forward. Mind you my creative writing and related text fit perfectly into their respective questions. However, the comprehension questions didn't seem to be asking for much.

As long as you give correct quotes + techniques to back up your answer, any answer can be correct

Section 1 was easy as fuck. I think I might lose a mark for the facebooky thingy, but every other text had sooo many techniques.
Section 2 was shit... Had 40 minutes left when I started so I made up a bullshit story... :/
Section 3 was meh. I don't know much about Crucible so I didn't expect much... Wrote like 5.5 pages... maybe 10/15... :/

I found everything to be pretty simplistic tbh. Although i nearly stuffed up my creative because i DIDNT READ THE QUESTION LOL. Since i'm pretty sure you had to relate it to "place" with your creative in which my integrated one did but if it didn't...uh oh.

The personification of the tree and metaphor of the sun or some shit.
Used article and autobiography for comparison and I used hyperbole and personification in auto and symbolism and metaphor or some shit in article.

The belonging question? the challenge to belong may be resisted or embraced
I said e.g -embraced through relationships and etc

-Resisted (Cultural/Social Barriers and lack of acceptance)

Can anyone translate this in simplistic terms tome? I may have misinterpreted the question.


The mushroom question the fuk?? =.=.... i use the sun as an exemplar of imagery or something o_O??

OOO I said when one experiences differences they can experience alienation and can be resisted to belong however when they find common values they will feel accepted and have a sense of self worth embracing there sense of belong, would i get marked down for answering both of the questions? :O

I said some BS about how people strive for Belonging or reject it for their own personal gain. I.e. Proctor in the crucible tries to belong with Elizabeth to gain a sense of home and comfort with her and rejects the theocratic society and its hysteria to gain individuality and shit like that.
