im sorry, two and half men is garbage!. on another note, the standout shows I've seen are: Lost. The Wire (easily the most powerful show ever made, Dickens would be proud) Twin Peaks. Veronica Mars. Mad Men Battlestar Galactica The Shield The Soprano's Arrested Development Seinfield

Chuck is a great premise, executed well: great chemistry, good writing, and lovable characters with great action scenes wit h just the right amount of heart.

its rather amusing how the leading atheists. i.e. dawkins use science and logic to express their viewpoints, and although generally express disdain about organised religion, they don't shove their beliefs down everyones throat. But say, Limbaugh and other US evangelicals, consider atheists...

I find it perplexing that biblical notions of 'thou shalt not judge', or 'he who is without sin cast the first stone' are flexible and totally up for debate. however, extracts from levitcius and the old testament, that denounce homosexuality which might i add do not consitute a major part of...

a confederacy of dunces by jack dunne: we need to have a bookclub or something. I've yet to meet a person at school who enjoys reading half as much as me, or as read half as much as me (1200 odd books), only people who I can talk to aobut books are seemingly the odd univeristy arts students, or...

hate to say this, but wrong forum, this is exam thoughts not the dedicated english aos forum for '10 ers

Of all the belongign prescribed texts (I've read/seen them all) theres no doubt in my mind the crucible as a text is the most enjoyable. On a scale of 1-10 i'd say its an 9 on how easy it is to relate back to belonging. J.P> enriching and challenging the oppressive religious fervour . Abigail...

i'm interested in taking a look.

off the top of my head- I'd discourage you from doing it: its a long and thoroughly challenging text not to be taken lightly: don't do it on a whim. If you've erad it arleady ( I assume you have), take some quotes techniques and write a practise essay and have a teacher look at it . You'll want...

mate, don't overthink it. grab a book/movie you enjoy, and theres a ... 90% chance it will be doable as a related text. Some texts are harder to do then others: i.e. Sophies Choice, some easier, just pick one you like, read it or watch it quickly, jot down some techniques, stare at the rubric...

The key to memory is.... repetition. You never forget your name, your address, your parents names, your brothers/sister's because you are constantly bombarded, until they become etched into your memory. I like to refer to memory as a well. If you hear something once, it just drops to the...

no i don't go to st. leos haha. but thanks for asking you seem like a intelligent and well spoken individual

I do think the exams could also be improved in structure. its not a 'skill' to be able to write a creative wrting piece in 40 minutes. Did Edgar Allan Poe and others write their short story masterpieces in 40 minutes. No they didn't. 40 minutes forces a great deal of pre-meditation, because if...

I'm going to quote an English lecturer/teacher here. "Hsc English is tying english to a chair and beating the meaning out of it" All hsc english is inferring incidental techniques that the composer did really intend, and then using this to tie it to some vague themes of human...

dune and r.e. feist love.

Re: Masturbating before exams. haha you are one funny troll if not you are still funny. cheerios.

funnily enough you're right about the easy marking standards- it was very erratic, and not to the quote-technique-rubric/context sort of format the BOS demands.

omg you are funny. epic trolling is epic.

oh well because one of my old schools had all of 2 band 6's despite high internal marks. just morbid curiosity.

couldn't agree more: hsc english is not a reflection of your knowledge of english or literature, its for 90%+ of the candidature, a lesson in regurgitation. If you've ever seen university lecturers notes for English, or English journals, or stuff written for post grad it isn't just a synthesis...
