Honestly, I'd say it doesn't matter as long as you are concise and to the point. Stay on topic, argue your thesis to the best of your ability, sound like a boody genius doing it and you could get away with as little as 850-900. Bahahaha. One of my friends had an essay for trial that was only...

Ahem. Where to begin? Well, to start with.. FEEL FREE TO IGNORE ME. My English teacher tells me I have "natural writing ability", but that didn't stop me from getting 8/15 for trials. Hm. Mind, it was an idea plucked out of mid-air with 15 minutes to spare so take that as you want it. In all...

O.O Well, we had our focus day today. I think we decided it's going to be (possibly/hopefully) something-Ramesside? You can work it out logically! 2008 was Akhenaten and Kadesh, they are out. 2007 was Amenhotep III and Queens so they are out. 2006 was Seti and foreign policy, may be brought up...

Actually, Farenheit 9/11 is possibly a great text to do! Remember, the module is about REPRESENTATION AND TEXT. H+M is just along for the ride. Being that it is so biased toward Mike Moore's POV, which is clearly already not going to be entirely correct whatever he's on about this time, you can...

Construction = Structure, yes :) Structure: the way in which events have been ordered.. :)

Just about every scee shows some form of relationship. You want to concentrate on: Claudius-Gertrude-Hamlet Hamlet-Ophelia Hamlet-Claudius Claudius-HamletSnr Gertrude-Hamlet (Oedipus complex? O.O) These are all good r'ships to consider as they can all be equally discussed along with other...

Email your teacher and ask if they can possibly make up some questions for you from the current syllabus. OR Make up your own? Get the rubric, highlight/underline key terms and form a question from that. As we all should know, all English questions come from the rubric.. I've taken to...

Well, there's no specific WAY to study as it is YOUR understanding and interpretation of the text, but ... Read the text if you haven't already. IN DEPTH. It would also pay to pick up a pen and highlighter to make notes throughout. Consider all the themes present throughout the play. Google...

I agree with moshi.bum, but ... A good way to attack thse type of questions is to discuss the themes/ideas apparent in Hamlet and their relevance to cotemporary society. Not all themes will be still relevant, or indeed, some may be relevant in an entirely different light. Such as the whole...

Hunt down the "Cambridge School Shakespeare: Hamlet" if possibe. It's what we are using and it is fantastic. =] There's about 28 pages of analysis after the play, and other tid-bits throughout. Including, thankfully, a mini synposis of every page of the text at the top of the adjoining page...

I'm doing Streetca and Speed the Plow. And Alan (Blanche's husband) was symbolic of Williams' homosexulaity & all the issues/stigma against it, blahblahblah. Blanche herself was symbolic of Williams' mums, and therefore his, 'old world' ideals. By her 'losing' to Stanley this shows Williams...

Just personally... I thought it was brilliant, sure, isn't it always? I mean, they are the top kids in our state. Anyway, the downside was I didn't seem as struck as last year. Last year I walked away brimming with ideas and plans and dreams and hopes... none of which eventuated, but hey it was...
