Yeah haha this type of question is pretty vague and seems quite hard to tackle at first. Try not to get too caught up in the nitty-gritty cos really all you need to do is a) pick your human experience (let's just say you choosing corrupting power) b) explain how the human experience is...

Like @Boshin said, power is probably the biggest common theme between the two texts. You could also mention the extent of corrupt authority (Salem's theocracy and Animal Farm's communist government). You could try identity as well, but from memory, it's not that strong of a theme in Animal Farm...

lmao not much.... "human psychology" is a good general term that can be used interchangeably with either term, I used "demeanour" a lot to replace behaviour, and "impetus" for motivations, but you'd have to phrase your sentences differently so it's not a direct synonym. tbh I didn't really use...

How so are you disagreeing with the statement? Usually, I would advise against disagreeing with the stimulus statement (particularly in an exam, looks like you pre-prepared an essay and couldn't adapt it) but since this is a hand-in I think you have more leeway. However, I am still concerned...

I don't think you should do a poem or an artwork... Wasteland is a poem (you don't want to repeat text types) and an artwork is quite a restrictive choice?? You could pick it, but it would be quite unexpected and I don't think teachers would really know how to mark it. Since wasteland (i...

Ummmm no? You should mark EVERY QUESTION, since you're learning all the content and questions for the first time, and from personal experience, I never really touched my textbook when studying for exams...trial papers seriously are it

To be safe I'd go with another text type...teachers generally prefer that. And like @c8 said, you want to try to relate it to a more human subject. You could definitely do it if you wanted to, but your analysis has to be reaalllly good in order for you to get top marks, otherwise it'd seem like...

100% don't do the entire exercise again! Just redo the questions you got wrong, and you should be fine. If you'd like to do more practice, trial papers are your best bet.

All good! Glad it helped!

This is not a great text for analysis!! I'm struggling with finding good techniques for your essay! ahhhh :( 1. Anecdote: the use of a personal story to illustrate a point (being peace and harmony) --> this technique enhances the speech's appeals to pathos (emotional persuasion in the listener)...

My personal experiences with Matrix have all been TERRIBLE so my general opinion is to stay as far away that you possibly can from Matrix lol. Based on some friends who went to English tutoring at tutoring colleges, it isn't necessarily the best option for you to improve. I think the best way to...

If you're worried about maths in Year 10, I'd say 3U would prove to be a challenge for you in the future. However, I would STRONGLY suggest picking 3U maths, and riding with it as long as possible. Most uni courses have a restriction for students who didn't do at least 3U. You can always drop...

Lmao I'm going to have to disagree on this one (although everyone's experiences with subjects depends on a whole range of factors). I studied economics and as long as you pay attention to the news every week, it's really not that much of a drag to memorise and apply the content. I feel like a...

This is definitely true. THERE IS NO WAY THAT YOU CAN IMPROVE IN PHYSICS IF YOU SIMPLY MEMORISE CONTENT. The new physics syllabus is heavily skewed towards applying your knowledge towards analysis, and HSC / trial papers (especially if you go to a selective school) but have questions that you...

I'm not too sure about this one...probably the easiest technique to identify is the metaphor (maybe write extended metaphor if you want to sound cooler). As long as you explain the effect of the technique, you should be good!

I don't think it's either chiasmus or antimetabole, I think it's something called epanalepsis - with the repetition of "control....past". It's a bit of a difficult one and combines a lot of techniques. And to add to the advanced technique discussion, I definitely think it's best to use advanced...

I often approach creative writing drawing inspiration from movies/tv shows that I watch (the best way to improve with creative writing throughout Year 12 is to watch A LOT of films, find ones that centre upon mood and character in an everyday setting – this way, you can emulate these characters...

... chuck us?? If you were wondering, I studied Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami as my related. If you're looking for a challenge, and something to set you apart from your peers it's a great choice (postmodern ambiguousness, and not really studied at a high school level so there aren't many...
