it said AT LEAST ONE RT so I used two, it was good for talking about the female's place in society - patriarchy

Ah shit, i only did one but it did fit quite well with place as my 2nd had nothing to do with place.

How many marks are we talking here 2 - 3 maybe?
Depends on the quality of the essay and what impact it makes on the marker.

Half my essay was on place and the other half was culture/identity so that half didn't go down too well but I tried adapting it..
My related (The Island) fit pretty well though I thought

I did The Simple Gift.
And while it is a disgusting, disgusting, DISGUSTING, revolting text, it fitted in brilliantly.
Ran out of time to properly analyse my related text though :(

Because I didn't do a lot on place, and more focussed on relationships and people in study, I talked about how relationships affect our connection to a place, and therefore to belonging whatever

So much fail with Crucible.
I mentioned how the perception of belonging/not belonging to a place is characterized by the sense of belonging to the elements of that place... eg. In The Crucible the elements would be society, religion etc.
Essentially, I talked out of my arse.
Who else did Crucible and found it shitty?

for those who did the Cubicle - it must have been hard! I guess that is why they scale each text differently
Do they really scale the texts differently? I've never heard of this before. Can anyone confirm? lolol -clinging to every shred of hope.

Fuck off. This question was aimed too much at the retard standard texts like skrzynecki. Dickinson was hard to work this around. I said how a sense of belonging to place can only be achieved through ones identity, then talked about not belonging to society and meaningless belonging to society and then meaningful belonging on your own terms.


Skrzynecki is an Advanced text..

at our school they use it as a standard one, and fight me, lets go.
Oh ok fair enough. Ours its advanced and the question suited it beautifully (just like the prediction on here that you were certain was false ;] ) so I'm happy :)

You are both wrong. Area of study is completely common to standard and advanced, at our school advanced does Dickinson and standard does Skrzynecki but it could easily be the other way around. Oh and at the school i go to ESL does emily dickinson too lol.
