Do it. I dropped Maths 2U so I could do both English Extensions and History Extension and it was the best decision I have EVER made. I was about 3rd in my maths class, but the effort it took to get the grades was totally disproportionate. If you're good at English do it, Legal Studies doesn't...

Don't worry about it, I did all 3 coming 3rd in Modern 2nd in Ancient and 2nd in Extension... one of my best mates came first in all 3 :) It is a lot of work, but often you will find it links together and if you do your Major Project in the summer holidays then you are set... its the last minute...

I'm *meant* to be doing my extension history right now but i got so caught up in everyone's major works I just gave up and embraced the procrastination (certainly one of the more enjoyable forms of this) Everything I've read has been pretty damn brilliant - my personal favourite "Insert your...

Hand in tomorrow and still haven't finished reflection! Have an "Extension 2 Night" at my school starting at 7 and going until every single person is finished though lol so should get done alright... Teacher said if I do a good RS should expect at least 47 so gonna have to go hard xD

Anyone who wants to give it a quick read can you PM me your email? Cheers.

Sorry about the wait, been busy doing last minute assessment items :S I will send it to all those who ask this evening, I have some "celebrating difference" bullsh*t all day at school so can't get near a computer. And thanks for showing some interest, I got really good feedback about it from my...

Anyone interested in having a quick read of my belonging creative? Its just a first draft and I don't have to hand it in till the end of the holidays, but I reckon its pretty good. Still needs work, I'm just interested in seeing what people think. Just post and I will PM or email it to you

My whole class had to write an analysis about this poem, and I have all of them. Its a bit of a hassle to type them out/read them again though - so if you need this for an assessment task urgently i will do it, but if its just for homework or something I think I will pass!

I had them as a way of breaking up the flashback sort of temporal fragmentation (yes, i said that just to sound pretentious). They aren't essential and if they're not something you put in normally you probably shouldn't keep them, i think the paragraphing works well enough with the blank lines...

Yeah, I edited it a bit. Should send the edited version to the above posters, has quite a few things that you were talking about

I got 100% in the year 11 exams and I'm complacent... The Pompeii and Herculaneum unit justs revolve around learning long lists of place names and people basically.

Here are 3 examples of my shitty poetry Starting in year 10 with a sonnet i had to do, note the horrible forced rhymes - Dreams are those fairies beneath conscious reign Now banish’ed away from cheerful light of day And in the caverns of the brain decay Like shackled prisoners they must...

My personal favourites are about the wine industry: "Cheers we drink like wineskins!" "Inn-Keeper of the devil, die drowned in your own piss-wine" Classic shizzle pompeii!

I'm writing my creative piece about a party where a mate of mine went missing for 4 hours after taking valium and drinking. Probably one of the most terrifying nights of my life, but one that bound together the people who went looking for him/called the police forever. As it turned out he was...

Sure, let us have a look. I'm bored as, and trying to avoid studying for Ancient History. I also do 4U English, so hopefully i can give some advice!

Nah, Feliks adopted him when he married Peter's mother. http://www.bookrags.com/biography/peter-skrzynecki-dlb/ "His Polish-born adoptive father, Feliks Skrzynecki, who had been in forced labor in Germany, in 1948 married Skrzynecki's mother, Kornelia Woloszczuk, a young Ukrainian woman...

Say something about the irony of him hating the "phonies" yet finding it nearly impossible not to "kid" people. For example the guys mum on the train, whom he tells that he has a brain tumor. This could be construed either as a misguided attempt to try and belong by imitating those he sees...

Re: help with skrzynecki poems The house is almost like a refuge for them, it contrasts with images from the industrial district within which they live (i don't have the poem in front of me so no quotes). The theme of time runs throughout, every stanza has some reference to a time or a a period...

Look up a bit of Skrzynecki's personal history and any allusions he makes in his poems, it helps loads. For instance the poem "Feliks Skrzynecki" is not about his "real" father, but his adopted father - and that enables to the poem to be read in an entirely new way. And just keep thinking about...

Yeah, try the book. Unless you actually want to write about how the movie industry changed the text (which works well sometimes). The project I did on it was connecting it to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, I can link people to it if anyone really wants to read it.. For Belonging I'm going for...
