Did creative first... talked about place more abstractly as in understanding one's place in the modern world. Also wrote some bullshit about the stickfigure family as a metaphor. (≈900 words/4.5 pages in 36 mins) Hoping for 13+
Did Section 1 next which I think I did alright at (≈3.5 pages). Mushroomer wrote about the personification of the tree in the last stanza. For Facebook wrote how the individual images show how important maintaining a unique identity is to achieving a sense of belonging. However, when we belong to a group our individualism is eroded, evidenced in the organization of the photos into the logo of Facebook, etc. Compared the article to the autobiography for the last part. Spent too long on this part though, will probs do it last for the actual HSC. Hoping for 13+
Essay was fucked. Had like 1300 words prepared and only had like 40 minutes left. Had to make a lot of bullshit up in explaining my quotes and having linking sentences, cause I pretty much went in with only techniques and quotes memorised. Although 1 ORT was good cause it meant I cut out heaps of my prepared essay. Conclusion was a piece of shit though. Answered the question pretty well in terms of linking my ideas back to it, so it doesn't look memorised. (≈800 words/4.5 pages) Hoping for 12+
I hope my rank is good though for this cause I wanna move into top 5 after trial. Currently coming 6th (Advanced) and separated from 4th by less than a mark grrrr.
