Loved it. Left room for interpretation and could be critiqued very easily.
Thankfully everything I studied in depth went with it perfectly (St Pats, 10 Mary & Feliks - although his whole thing is about growth through belonging).
Had a little panic attack because my other related didn't fit at...
Basically, in mine the plot was about it - even though some people are your family you don't necessarily relate to them and feel left out, whereas you can meet a perfect stranger and connect and grow.
I made everything so that it will be IN YOUR FACE for an english teacher, although I basically...
Thematically.
Its easier to achieve sophistication that way and since I was taught to do everything thematically from Year 7, I'd bomb out doing it text by text.
I hate Kubla Khan. Only using it briefly since Coleridge is one text in himself.
I can understand where they're coming from, I won't even be 18, I'm a girl and to travel abroad alone at 17 is a pretty big deal. I thought they'd be okay for the volunteering, but that's okay, I'll work get some money collected up and go for the 3 month program next year.

philphie - don't really know how to word my thoughts in response to reading your RS, but it really did relate to my personal experience writing my major work. Every single moment my teacher put a pencil mark and wrote 'irrelevant' (or at times, even more infuriating, the single '?') was...
I thought as I sat down yesterday to put in the first full day of good, honest study for the first time in my life that I should have done it sooner.
But whatever, too late now anyway. High School shouldn't be the highlight of a persons life, it should be the ramp that gets you there.

Re: Writing about Romantic conventions in a modern or futuristic setting, I'm always too shit scared to even attempt this.
If Romanticism is a way of thinking unique to the era in which it originated (coming from the syllabus here), how can we attempt to place the values into another setting...
We're going to this exhibition as an excursion from school, and I thought it'd be good to let everyone know as I didn't before my teacher actually told me.
Admission is free and there is some good information and gorgeous prints, I am told.

In creative pursuits you can never be right or wrong, wanky or modest.. I love English :)
I was just asking because we're doing Atwood's speech in our Critical Study Module and she mentions the whole writing process and how techniques are very much intended, and I related with that for the most...
LOVE.
The innocence in the beginning is heartbreaking.. there's no other word for it.
Very well done :)
Just a Q to everyone who did poetry (I wanted to do it in the beginning), did you put techniques in deliberately and adhere to a meter, or did you just create your MW in free verse?
Sorry for bumping an old thread, but does anyone absolutely love Romanticism now?
It is amazing. I've never liked Extension 1 better, am in love with Byron, in awe of the breaking down of barriers, enjoy reading all my set texts very much..
Romanticism is fantastic :)
Its more favourable to write a Romantic creative piece in the Romantic era because Romanticism is more a movement and period than a genre. You couldn't write about the Victorian era without a Victorian setting, unless you've got an exceedingly clever story integrating modern day values with...
Anyone read mine? :(
I wrote how I write, trying not to get sucked into doing pomo and trying to be clever, so my work is very classical. Shelley and the Romantics were a huuuge inspiration to me, and I included some Romantic values in my text, although very subtly.
