I wrote that power is created through a relationship between H+M...Lolllll I didn't do that
I think I did truth as being history, but power as being the ability of the author to manipulate representations within a text...

MOD C EXPLAINED:
(Obviously other interpretations are possible, however this was the intended interpretation).
The prevailing view of history is one constructed by those in positions of power (i.e. history is written by the victor), rather than being an objective record of reality.

I didn't define power? Argh now I'm stressed. My thesis was that power can imbue persuasion upon one perspective at a single point in time but eventually the truthful perspective will always triumph. I just assumed power mean power and truth meant truth?! I take back what I said about mod c being okay now!

Does anyone think they got 100+/105? (i.e. possibility of state rank?)

What is this deane thing? sounds horrible?
Damn I'm fked then. What mark am I capped at if I interpreted it as: Representations of past events with the power to evoke emotional responses in readers allows for a personal and thus more complete representation of the past as opposed to objective recordings.
Hahahaha oh man, you're hilarious.

Pretty much the most redundant speech out of the selection. Lacks depth and insight, not many links to the other speeches, only has one core theme, meaning its hard to structure a decent thematic essay.

Depends how well you did it... if you explained it well (i.e. an emotional understanding of history is more important than a 'truthful' understanding, as all records of history are subjective), then you could get a 20. Don't sweat it, I was just explaining the most obvious interpretation.

Did anyone else who did conflicting perspectives feel like it was a question written more for history and memory?

Yeah I saw it in the exam and lol'd.
I just scraped 100/105 for the trial, I'm hoping for around similar this time round :3 Probably won't unless assumed I lost all my marks in paper II and got 45/45 for paper I, OR I only lost 1-2 marks for mod B.

...or am I the only one?
