English trials? (6 Viewers)

[krnofdrg]

the challenge to belong may be resisted or embraced im pretty sure.

I did not interpret this question well.

What is this question saying in simplistic terms??

 

[Riproot]

Mine was: there's a boy in a car. He's going to the airport to pick up his mum. The car crashes and he gets in a taxi. Meets his mum at the airport. Feels belonging.

I assumed it meant that either:

a) Someone can strive to belong (e.g. Edward Scissorhands; he changes his physical appearance, i.e. cuts his hair, in his attempt to embrace the challenge to belong)
b) Someone can not strive to belong (e.g. Romulus, My Father; the migrants unwillingness to appreciate the harsh-beauty of the Australian landscape demonstrates their reluctance to pursue belonging)

my related text didn't fit in very well at all, so i'm pretty screwed when my teacher reaches that para...

also, did we have to mention ALL the images in the creative? cos all i used was the first image...

 

[UnrealAnchovies]

also, i only wrote 2 very detailed paragraphs for my prescribed + 1 detailed paragraph for my related. was this a mistake?

Basically, you can choose to belong or you can choose not to belong - each with their consequences that can be rewarding or hindering.

the question said use element or element(s) of the stimulus so you should be fine.

I hate creative writing, mine always tend to go on for too long...

meh i don't stop to think. also my related text luckily fit in really well with the question. My handwriting is also moderately big. Not only that, but I had a story idea beforehand which happened to fit in well with the question.

english for me is the most time deprived subject. stressing about not having time to write a conclusion all the time ftw!

I had some really weird things.

1st text facebook
-Multiple images of different people and appearences forms a sense of cohesive belonging between people.
2nd The pie
-Recurring motif of the pie is symbolic of his strong relationship with the Australian culture and also evocative of his life in Australia.

3rd
Poem

-Serene Imagery of the sun pollen or some thing , I said it enables him to connect to the environment and gain a sense of belonging.

Fourth

-I wrote unity is required during times of hardships and to also create a strong sense of belonging.

-Conflict between the protaganist and her friend causes loss of belonging or etc.

Comparison of two texts

Text four versus Text one facebook. (Mainly said about relationships of people how its fundamental in shaping one's belonging)


Can anyone confirm my ideas were valid or not?

I did pretty much the exact same! But, for the last one how it was about the relationship between personal experiance and belonging, i contrasted the newspaper article and the experience as an immigrant and hence belonging to culture with the poem and the mushroomers experience being different, hence belonging to the land... Wasn't very well articulated though and pretty scrappy stuff.

 

[yew]

hows everyone doing tomorrow. is it advisable attempting to memorise all 3?

 

[crimson_delight]

Not to bad... Was text three about a mushroom farmer or the mushroomer?

I might just remark here on how terrible this poem was; I'm pretty sure I received a 0/3 for this question even though I wrote a half-page analysis. What even.

 

[Chambalam]

hows everyone doing tomorrow. is it advisable attempting to memorise all 3?

Possibly.

2009 Module A... 'how do texts explore disruption and identity' - if you've memorised your previous essay too thoroughly you'll slow yourself down trying to half re-write it as you go

 

[dela_]

For the last question in the short answers I didnt read that we had to contrast our texts:S did we have to ... ?

 

[yew]

yeah fair call. i think i can get away with it for mod c but not a or b. hamlet will be a bitch cuz theres so many themes

Good thinking. Since they bulk-question module C they tend to be a tad more generic, as opposed to Hamlet or Comparative asking for a SPECIFIC aspect of the text.

The issue isn't really the specification, its when they say 'how does it explore THIS_____' as opposed to 'do you agree?' - if you can write, any kind of 'does this resonate with your understanding?' is an easy one

 

[yew]

thanks for your help Cham. i am good at memorising essays,
as i get into the exam and stress out- leaving no time to think of ways to write something. so i pre-write my essay.

with this in mind, for hamlet should i do a generic essay with a para for each sort of theme? or should i just memorise quotes and then evaluate and analyse in the exam?
cheers
