Re: a campaign of distraction Surf the net.

Holidays are so uneventful but really relaxing. Can't wait for Wednesday (results), it's taking so long! How's everything for you?

Markers are generally conservative so you should be careful. This goes for your creative writing pieces. But I don't see why you can't quote the swear/derogatory words if the composer of your text used it. It's not you using the language, it's the composer.

Google is your friend. If you look hard enough.

1. Enjambment 2. Past tense 3. Use of the collective 'we', biblical allusion 'blest' 4. Use of a command

Cool. I might meet some of them then.

Yes. Great vocabulary. Solid understanding of belonging. There are some bits which could be improved e.g. if you see the green grammar/error line underneath the sentence it means it is NOT a sentence or has an error in it's expression. Also, some parts are almost 'overwriting' - too many...

Belonging is a sense of enlightenment felt when an individual gains an understanding of themselves in relation to others and the wider world.

An interesting slant you could take is the idea of the facade of the glory of war. The glory of war is emphasised in the first and second stanzas until it reaches the refrain: 'God help me, I was only nineteen'. By the conclusion of the song we are saddened by the reality of the war...

I think there are a lot of different factors. - Practice: the more you do timed responses under exam conditions the better you get at thinking quickly on your feet and by writing under the constraints of time you increase writing speed. - Rote-learning: there are many people who have a basic...

Interesting statement to work out from. It lends itself very well to an out of the ordinary thesis e.g. belonging can never truly be understood. Be sure to talk about binary oppositions i.e. inclusion/exclusion as that will help you drive the argument home; there is more to belonging than just...

Engineering for the win. Sport and biomedical engineering at Griffith (on the Gold Coast) would be fun.

Go for it. If you have a close enough connection to the song your passion will come through in your analysis. Just remember it's all about techniques. Analyse the music as well as the lyrics. "She was so beautiful I had to kill her" - juxtaposition of beauty and death, oxymoronic, it...

Remember that textual analysis is a really personal thing. The syllabus asks for an informed personal engagement with the texts. So as long as you substantiate your claims with textual reference and techniques (it's all about techniques) you should be okay. Personally, I think there is a sense...
