    Yeats' poetry, how many poems?

    If they were to specify a poem, you can almost guarantee it would be 'Easter, 1916.' And I would prepare for three.

    Exam Problem - Major Issue

    =( bad news. You can't move HSC exams ever. If two exams clash then they don't let you leave the room. This would be an absolute no.

    Onstage!

    It means 29 or 30. But if you DIDNT get nominated, it doesnt mean you didnt get 29 or 30. You may not have been nominated for content or something.

    fair or unfair

    Its not as though this person woke up and was a little nervous about an English paper. THEY WERE ON MEDICATION. Of course it's fair. Quit your whinging people.

    Onstage...

    Keep your clothes on Dont show graphic rape Dont be racist Dont do a piece about something that would seriously offend a general audience Dont swear too much (they CAN cut this out later, but perhaps a piece about the history of the f-word could be a little better thought out)

    what TYPE of school do u go to?

    Pretty sure St Spiridons did something like that for anyone who got a UAI over 97. Something like $3000. Thats what the SMH said anyway...

    what TYPE of school do u go to?

    Re: Public School vs. Private Quite right, everybody sat down and somehow took an independent predictor of the quality of teaching in every single school. And a completely non-biased body decided that YOUR school's faculty are THE BEST teachers in Australia. EXACTLY RIGHT! I'm so glad that...

    Help! Ruby moon/ 7 stages essay

    Your essay needs to focus on 2 things: 1. DO these plays use stereotypes, and how? AND 2. Is this a WEAKNESS? See I would personally argue that while Ruby Moon does use stereotyped characters in certain sections, it is hardly a weakness as it adds to the depth and confronting character of...

    Does anyone have a website for monologues???

    Most of the monologues you'll find on websites will be really terrible and written by a twelve year old who is "deep" or "apathetic." You want to either: read a play, or several; or find a website that has monologues taken from ACTUAL, PUBLISHED plays (try Monologue Archive) But really, read...

    'after the bomb' elective for ext eng

    I suppose I resent his style. I find that the whole 'letting the facts speak for themselves' thing gets kind of tedious. It's as though he is trying to appear free from authorial influence, which is clearly a lie if you look at his choice of characters. I just think all of the other texts are...

    Doing a Speech, 2009.

    Hey! Also doing a speech, mines on the evolving purpose of poetry, and the perceived responsibilities of the poet as a social conscience. Anyone have any ideas about recording?

    'after the bomb' elective for ext eng

    Just finished studying 'Hiroshima' thankfully. It is so terrible, why we are studying it when the other texts are so fantastic is beyond me. Catch-22 is so hillarious, almost balances out the horror that is 'Hiroshima'

    Biggest Tip For Monologues

    Agreed with AbsoluteZero. But also you need to remember that its drama not music and, much as music is certainly an element of drama, if the whole thing is overwhelmed by a song, then I dont think the markers will respond overly positively. Perhaps Im wrong but I would say that if you do use...

    Hey, I got into Philosophy, which Im thankful for. Another guy in my school also got in. I cant wait for my package of stuff!

    DRAMA IP's : Help me please

    True. But you can still get a band six and not get nominated. It really comes down to a whim of the markers. Ok, so thats an overstatement, but it is their own discretion. ALSO, for groups, there's no guarantee that every member got a band six.

    The Crucible and Belonging

    Re: crucible related texts There are lots of examples of belonging in The Crucible. At the most basic of levels: Salem wants John Proctor to belong, John Proctor doesnt want to belong. All the other ones stem from that core conflict of the play...

    GP & IP: What Did You Do?

    GP: 3 local politicians raising funds for a bankrupted local council. (nope, no deeper meaning at all) IP: extract from the play "I Am My Own Wife" by Doug Wright.
