Re: Help with 2013 English Standard & Advanced Half Yearly Exam: Section 3 Essay Ques Yes, you're right :) Put REALLY simply: a person can see belonging as good or bad, and a person can see NOT belonging as either good or bad eg. belonging to a tight family may be reassuring for some (&...

If you PM me your assessment task I will have it re-marked by an experienced HSC English teacher (who marked HSC exams) from another school for you. If you could also include any grade/comments that you received, that would be helpful in explaining why you got that mark (if it is considered to...

Re: RMF-Choosing to not belong has a significant impact on an individual's relationsh Romulus's wife chooses to disconnect from the family unit - this has a significant impact on her moral vicissitude and capacity to retain her integrity through a monogynous relationship. The ultimate...

PM me your email address and I can send you a sample of a set of teacher-written notes

Sure - do you have an email address I can send it to? Also, what are your other prescribed texts?

I would consider NOT using The Catcher in the Rye as it is quite a popular related text and won't set you apart. The Book Thief is a great choice but I would perhaps choose a second related text that is not historical; give yourself a broader time spectrum :)

The art of travel by Alain de Botton, film or novel: 'the Accidental Tourist', Michele de Krester " questions of travel", Global Village on SBS, Gail Jones' novel "Dreams of Speaking" ( would fit in very well), film: Japanese Story, maybe Don de Lilo's white noise - I need to think about it...

I would suggest using a different related text that has more thematic correlation with 'Romulus, My Father' - you will be more prepared going into the exams

Arggh... Do you have to choose Shaun Tan's 'The Lost Thing'?? It is SOOO over-used.... I STRONGLY recommend that you choose another related text to set yourself apart from the hundreds of other students who use Tan's picture books as a default option... PM me - I have some suggestions for you :)

I probably wouldn't use 'Mending Wall' to relate to Strictly Ballroom....

What's your prescribed text?

Does the assignment specify that your related text must a film/short film? Also...Im not sure if it was a typo, but you said that you needed to related RMF to 'ANOTHER' movie/film... You realise that the prescribed RFM text is the non-fiction book, not the film adaptation...

Sorry, 'The Shipping News' is a prescribed text for Extension 1 English so you can't use it :(

Overall GREAT advice, Straweberrye!! Just a typo that may prevent a google search... It's 'The Myth of SISYPHUS' (with a 'y' in the middle) :)

New Boy would be a great related text for Romulus as long you continually link it back to the prescribed text and ensure that your paragraphs are addressing the AOS rubric :)

I know it's not online (does it HAVE to be online or do you just want convenience?) but I highly recommend 'Europe Since Napoleon' by Thompson. Find a few key quotes or viewpoints in there, use them in your Trials and HSC essay :)

You CAN, but it's not recommended. That said, if you do it WELL it can be rewarded

PM me - I have a few suggestions for you :)
