My story was about not belonging, pretty much wrote word for word then talked about his connection to minority through disconnection. Didnt work well at all.

Awesome stimulus. Both could have fit well with any prepared story. I chose the first quote.

Re: "celebrates the way relationships contribute to a sense of belonging"
I think this was straight-forward and relevant. I don't see what's confusing; relationships and belonging go hand in hand.

ah. i think i have a mega FAIL coming my way after reading all of this. i didn't even use the quote, i thought it was just stimulus. and the only thing i had memorised to put in it was a kid sitting under a tree so it was all off the top of my head and done in twenty minutes.

why do i read these things? i thought i did ok before i read this lol
haha, totally dude.
I just used the 1st part as stimulus...i askd you to base it around one of them.

I feel stupid reading this too :|.

Crap quotes.. i particularly didnt like the part where it says "celebrates the ways relationships contribute" ....

it doesnt go well with not-belonging
Hopefully I made it go well with not belonging. The guy had one relationship and the other person betrayed him so he realised that he didn't belong rah rah rah. Relationships are important to belonging so if you don't have them, yay for individuality.

I used the 1st one. Got to the very end of the booklet. Was wondering whether I should waste paper and put one line in other booklet. Decided not to =p

I wrote about some fag who got kicked out of his tribe cos he got amputated and was seen as flawed, then saved them all and got accepted again. Typical poo and only 2 pages thanks to doin 2 related texts and havin an inflated essay. fml

I used both quotes and underlined them for the 60 year olds to pick out easily :)
Though this was probably my worst section and i can't really tell how i went because it depends on what type of marker i get. Hopefully 12+ though

Oh really. YOU feel stupid.
:(
don't feel so bad, i did a poem/story in my trial ext. exam and went ok. and it was terrible. there was like random rhyming throughout and a few words that didn't fit but rhymed. like i think i put 'donkey' in there somewhere because it rhymed with something else. but its english hey, they love the weirder stuff lol
