Lol. Whats wrong with making it really obvious- I do haha. One of my favourite techinques is to find excuses to talk to them (questions about school related things are GREAT) E.g: "Hey, you know that thing we have to do fot ext..." haha. Use it all the time

Omg yes. And the whole names thing was a little lame.

WELL. I finished reading it Monday and I thought it was pretty good. I thought she would kill off one of the threesome though. Also, Snape's death was a bit anti climactic. I knew Snape was good all along, but didn't expect Harry to be a horcrux. Oh and I got annoyed that it wasn't revealed...

Ok. I currently have 13 units and plan to drop one subject. I desperately want to drop Biology but have been advised to drop General Maths instead because of the scaling. My half yearly marks/ranks were as follows: English Ad: 85/100 3/204 Eng Ext: 46/50...

Dropping Biology. Picking up either 4 u eng or Ext History. Or both. Probably the former.

Re: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - 21 July 2007 (NO SPOILERS) Exactly. I mean, the fact that someone actually bothered to photocopy all seven hundred and whatever pages just makes you ask WHY people are so set on ruining it for others.

Omg me too! But I can't. I dont' want to know. I'm logging off and i'm not going to communicate with anyone before 9:01 on Sat.

Saw it this morning. Over all, I thought it was quite good- the special effects were good and Luna was well cast. However, I think that the plot was a bit disjointed and there seemed to be a lot of material cut out unnecessarily. Ron and Hermione as prefects, for instance, I thought added an...

Yep.

Re: Most interesting course offered by BOS! Yep. Hate maths. Biology is pretty dull too.

I'm considering it. Still, I'm not sure whether I want another ext (because i'm doing ext eng). I'm doing Mod atm and love it, but Ext, I think, is more dominated by an exploration of what history is.

Hmm yeah me too. I mean, my motivation for English fluctuates a lot. Some day I'm like "I love Eng!!!" and other days I wish I could drop it. Generally I like it (only because I get good marks), but I think there should be less emphasis on analysing texts and more emphasis on gerneral...

Hmm yeah, in some cases perhaps, analysing a text can help you to appreciate them more. But for the most part, I think that by systematically dissecting texts, technique by technique, you are actually denigrating their worth. I mean, isn't the beauty of literature supposed to be its subjectivity?

A 'reading' of a text is basically reading a text from a specific perspective. E.g feminist reading, you would observe features that reflected feminist ideals, so if you read Frankenstein from a feminist perspective you could discuss how the partiachal paradigms are reflected etc. Similarly, a...

Actually I don't think it's the money or some sort of irrepressible desire to be seen as a 'justice fighter'. Actually, I thnik its the prestige that attracts a lot of people; they want to do law merely because it sounds impressive to be like 'i'm doing law at Sydney". I notice with a lot of...

Oooh yay, ranting! Ok *inhales sharply* I have sooo much to do this holidays *Eng speech (which ive actually done :) ) *Eng ext writing task *Bio assignment *Modern essay (which ive done, horray for me) *Study for all subjects *Maths like 4 chapters worth of HW *PE assignment Thats...

Omg completely forgot about that one. I went through a period where i was always like "I'm so discombobulated!"

Quintessence- the perfect embodiment of something. Verisimilitude- [the quality of] having a semblance of truth. Superfluous- excess or over abundance Citadel- castle Pulchritude- physical beauty Archetype- the typical representation Repercussions- consequences, basically Ramifications- same as...

No, you don't have to repeat the quote in each para- this would be incredibly tedious. Try not to list as well. Having not read the book, i can;t give you much criticism, but if i were you i'd write a para on each on the themes and in each para evaluate the quote. Oh and don't forget...

Hmm yeah, true (about Gen maths). I mean, by no stretch of teh imagination would i call it hard, but it is does have a lot more practical applications then 2u, and LOTS of finacial based crap. It's also very tedious, which makes ir easy to make careless errors.
