just some practice questions for Emma / Clueless
· Evaluate the relative importance of differences and similarities between texts and the ways in which these differences or similarities reflect values in the texts
· “Transformation is just an excuse for using someone else’s ideas”
What does the process of transformation involve?
· 2004 HSC – How has your perception of Transformations been illuminated by the comparative study of the prescribed texts
· You have studied two texts composed at different times
When you compared these texts and their context, how was your understanding of each text developed and reshaped
· How has the composer of the contemporary text used the earlier text to say something new
· In comparing your two texts you will have become aware of how the context of the text have shaped their form and meaning. OF more interest, perhaps, is a comparison of the values associated with each text
To what extent has this point of view been your experience in your study of Transformations?
· ‘The way a contemporary composers transforms an older text inevitably reflects the way that values in society have changed over time’ – Discuss this statement in relation to your two prescribed texts
· ‘Reading a text from the past presents us with a problem. If we read it from a modern viewpoint we often find that the text can no longer speak to us in the 21st Century. If we try to make ourselves a reader of the past we turn the text into a fake antique.”

· “The result of transforming an original text and placing it in a new genre is always to create a pale inferior, which only entertains and fails to inform”
