Wtf
There should be mandatory ethics classes in some of these schools bc wtf am I reading

theres so much worse. i just would totally get banned if i sent that kinda stuff on the english advanced 2025 forum

oh wait we have different texts lol. was the question similar tho, mine said "how does the closing stanza of the poem (extract provided) offer effective resolutions to the tensions in the poem"

yeah its just a different text but we had the same question

 

[yourbestfriend]

Lol I think ik what I’m talking about. If you look at the 2021 exemplars they answered the question throughout their essay and constantly linked back w the extract, I know there wasn’t enough evidence from the closing of magi so you could’ve used quotes you’ve memorised and context in another paragraph which would further support your thesis but having one seperate para is not sufficient enough to secure a b6 my teacher says it all the time

wait i also used a quote from magi in the 2nd para but it wasn't from the extract, does that count?

also the 2021 question was specifically "how do the extracts contribute to textual conversations" so its more extract focused, but our question kind of wants you to explore both the tensions and the extract

they also showed so much support to one austrian painter from the 1930s who got rejected from art school... so wholesome supporting for the underdog

Yea but they’re different questions and are articulated differently
I referenced back to the extract in every paragraph just in case but I think it could have been read as a progression v effectively

Imagine a hsc subject on ethics and morals, and you are examined on how you would react to certain situation, maybe even a verbal/practical situation. Those rich kids that have no jobs and don't go outside don't know how to treat people, and the boundaries between right and wrong.

make this mandatory instead of english. UCAT ethics section returns to claim more victims

Yea I used magi a lot (describing how it started, progressed, ended) and coupled it with hollow men I think anything that uses magi and is justified as building up to the conclusion can work (but I’m not a marker, just my opinion)

i think you are completely fine because im sure theres many people who used it conssitently throughout their essay without ever going into depth on what even the tension is, you demonstrated deep understanding by also showing what the tension is not just slapping it somewhere it doesnt fit

not even weird, just straight up reverse flash level hate for those who dont come from the same background or have the same skin colour

Yea without a good understanding of the tension you can’t be awarded super high marks

yeah anything at all from magi counts, I do think for this essay question we had to be very specific and constantly compare to show how in magi Eliot overcame the tensions and it was an effective resolution.. It was definitely harder than the hollow men extract given previously.

if u are one hue darker than #FFFFFF and walk too close to a knox student they might scream "DADDY! ILLEGAL! KILL IT NOW!!"

Also if you ever doubting i remember in trials they asked for ladybird and one other poem and i did 3 and only ladybird in one para and somehow got 18/20 so maybe markers arent as harsh as u think they are
