i don't know how you got the paper, or even if you are allowed to have the paper but,
just forget about it, it's not like you can change it. since there are many people who didn't continue it scaling will probably come into effect or they will probably mark it at least somewhat leniently.
i didn't continue as well, just focus on your other exams
good luck

"demands on the question" is one of the assess statements on the paper. So it is likely if you did not continue getting more then 6/10 will be hard
What? This is advanced English, not Modern history mate. Did Ho Chi Minh have sexual relations with Diem on the Ho Chi Minh trail too? @Hscbuzman
I think this man is a bit lost in subjects. And yes they were having sèx
Australia wasn't involved in the my lai massacre so u will fail for being wrong
Also you better hope your marker isn't a modern history teacher. The My Lai massacre wasn't some battle. American soldiers were pinned down for days by VC fire from a village and could do nothing but hide. The VC troops then abandoned the village and the American soldiers, angered by their dead mates, massacred the innocent soldiers within the village
YES! That's exactly what I did as well... There was no setting or real storyline so to continue on from the text I began with something like this;;
Australia, 2019,
...wrote jibberish here......The pause of breath before an exhalation of wind and rain would wash away the beat of the memory. He liked to think that he was crafting a new chapter in his life, but that is not the case. The memories haunt him, the chapter ever so present in his memory.... etc etc - it went on to talk about the way people treated him after he returned and kept referencing the 'chapter' of a 'bad book' that 'altered' his life....
Anyway, we got given a VERY similar question in our trial exam and I ended up walking away with 8/10 for the story soooo super happy with the question over all. I think the biggest thing would be to include aspects of the extract in order to continue on from it - some kids wrote completely different things / didn't even reference the book at least in their response.... so honestly, you'd be lucky to even get 5/10 for not referencing / continuing the extract at all..
That last bit is spot on
its all spot on.... do you really think markers will care about the ethnicity of the character...? No. As long as the story links - its fine.
I think they will. This is the hsc mate.
Yeh i am sure you clarified that in the writing?LOL when I said Australian man.... I meant a man, now living in Australia
mAtE, there are 67,000 ADV English students. ever heard of a justification...? The markers skim read, they wouldn't care where the story was set..
I think yout stuffed that figure up... To quote my senior marker teacher "they hold stories to the highest of standards"
^^^ bump.
Yeh and not all of them do adv. In fact less then half do
y'all get back and study, honestly couldn't care tbh bahah - all I know is that we got given a similar extract in the trials and with a justification ( where I also talked about an AUSTRALIAN man) and his 'memories' and I got a combined total of 18/20 sooooo yeah.
