    I need a Thesis

    Is it a desire or a need? A need suggests something we cannot do without, whereas a desire can be an extraneous want. Maybe it is both. Start here to formulate your thesis. It could be neither, perhaps Belonging is an unattainable ideal or a perception.

    AOS essay

    I didn't say they never FEEL overcrowded. I said they are never REFERRED to as being overcrowded in nature. Please read before critiquing. I am talking about perception. Of course they never CHOSE the word, that is just ridiculous. But the point is, most birds fly in flocks by nature...

    Underlying Assumptions

    It depends, underlying assumptions that the characters have or that the audience has? For the characters-> ~The agents assume that in order to belong to their own made-up society the characters must conform and be ignorant to the truth. ~Neo assumes that he belongs to this society, despite...

    Edward Scissorhands would defo be the best one out of those three imo. There are heaps of visual techniques, colour etc and Burton is a very well respected director. It also gives a new dimension to the concept of belonging, particularly when you see the heightened level of conformity within...

    Really stuck with assessment task!

    Ahhh okay, well if your good with computers and such then use your talents... it is just that powerpoints can be reaally boring and just drag on. Whereas posters and models and that are pretty much always original.

    AOS essay

    Make the decision first! I just want to discuss that question- This is MY OWN opinion. If anyone disagrees that is their right, and it would be interesting to get a debate going. I do not think that the need to belong "marks" us as human. Animals also have a "need" to belong. We more commonly...

    What books can help you with Advanced English?

    This is the thing. The books that are good, are difficult to read and even more difficult to analyse. I'm talking 1984 by George Orwell and so forth. One idea- For an easier attempt, although not AS deep but nonetheless good, try Animal Farm by George Orwell. It is a short book, but...

    Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer

    I would suggest not doing any unless you can do them REALLY well. A lot of people are going to be clinging onto them as the only books they have ever really read -.- There is not enough depth imo. But good luck, if you are good at it then it shouldn't matter too much.

    Really stuck with assessment task!

    I would suggest NOT using powerpoint and being a bit more arty with it... A thought that came to my mind was using some sort of metal (like thin bendable wire) to create a fence sort of thing that would suggest the trapped feeling within an insititution? A bit more symbollic but maybe...

    How Do i Analyse a Webpage?

    Treat it like a combination of text types. It is a multimedia medium. Discuss: Placement--> Where things are on the page, sizing, divisions, where your eye is drawn, bar lines, vector lines. Where is the navigation bar etc. Language---> Written techinques, you should be suitably...

    A Sense of belonging in Lord of the Flies?

    I never did this topic but I'm helping my brother out, and ADORE Lord Of The Flies. I would say that belonging is in several different areas: SYMBOLS AND THEMES: The Conch Sense of order and an idea of belonging to a GROUP as the noise is used to bring them together, and it allows someone to...
