Did Cloudstreet need a personal voice, even though it didn't specify?

Some crap about how different contexts show that the values still remain, and the impacts of technology. I can't remember, it's all a blur.

I have no idea if what i did was right but what i did do was say that differences and similarities in the themes reveal the same about their contexts....

I think i just messed up that question.. i spoke about the difference in appearance of the characters even though the texts did show similar ideas :/

Oh well, its all about the hsc, trials mean nothing when paper 2 is only 12%

Yes! What a relief that's over. Overall, not a bad paper.

Module A my thesis was "The differences between parallel scenarios, specifically the development and implications of artificial life, reveal their respective contexts"

Module B rolled me, I only knew two essays...luckily my English teacher loves Feminism and we went over Atwood's essay in depth, enough for me to use a lot of filler and add it to my essay - everything was misquoted. Does Atwood call feminists "butch" anywhere in there? I sure hope so.

Module C was really good, it was just a typical question that had been thrown at a thesaurus. Very relieved it didn't require two ORT's.

All in all, relieved!

Let the LOGICAL subjects begin!

yeah sorry, i meant that one didn't reveal more but they reveal the same amount about their differing contexts.

so the question was asking about the context, not the characters?

oh fuck.

DID ANYONE DO HISTORY AND MEMORY?!!
I had prepared for the RELATIONSHIP between them, not the conflict! aaah!
was it ok to say, they're conflicted but they can also work together??

For module A - do you also have to talk about similarities or just differences, to prove theyre stronger?

Goood luck everyone for results!

i don't know lol thats why i was hoping what i did might make sense to other people. as long as you can support your thesis, it should be fine. the question was pretty open to interpretation.

i thought it would be good to talk about the characters, cause the question didn't actually specify the context, it just said "differences reveal more than similarities" and the different appearances/ideas through the main characters led to their death, portraying a similar consequence (i actually mentioned the similar consequence part)

If i get 5/20 for that essay, i'll be happy.

same with Hamlet

Went pretty well I thought. Better than Paper 1 in my opinion. :)

Module C question was a bit tricky at times, Module B required some deeper thinking than usual, and Module A was a bit rushed at the end since I did it last, but overall, it definitely wasn't as bad as what I thought it would be.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE FIND PAPER 2 EASIER THAN PAPER 1

paper 1 is only 45 marks, and the concept is easy

paper 2 is just retarded.
