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...
I wrote that power is created through a relationship between H+M...

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!

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.

What is this deane thing? sounds horrible?
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?

I only wrote 1 booklet (3 full pages) for mod A (franken runner) because I did it last...fml

4 and bit pages for both yeats (wild swans + among school children) and julius caesar

I feel so sick at how little i did. I wish i wrote faster (but my hand was cramping up so bad >.<)

Hahahaha oh man, you're hilarious.
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.
