Hi everyone!

My name is Chris and I'm currently studying a Bachelor of Commerce/Laws. I completed my HSC in 2013, achieving an ATAR of 99.25. Under the tutelage of my tutors and school teachers, I worked persistently throughout my HSC year to construct the essays and notes below. For proof of marks, further details or any other queries, please email me at christopherkc2013@gmail.com.

English

- AOS: Belonging Romulus, My Father

Essay (1 related): https://sellfy.com/p/wsKy

Symbolising the erratic nature of Raimond’s paternal bonds, his climatic depiction of Christine as a “troubled, vivacious and unfaithful wife” starkly juxtaposes to her “feminine presence” as a metaphoric maternal sustenance he craves “more than food”. In contrast, Romulus’ forgoing of food, “he denied himself so that I would have more”, becomes a synecdoche for his persistent sacrifices to retain an authentic sense of a family home in an otherwise dysfunctional household and metaphoric “spartan” life.

Essay (2 related): https://sellfy.com/p/DgJu

Whilst some fear the social discernment of accepting the man's "crying", a fragment of society embraces the man's metaphoric "gift of weeping" as a religiously allusive 'holy water' to cleanse and purify the soul.

Through the untouched silent world he roamed, letting his fingers brush against prickly fern bristles and mossy birches which arched like door frames; revealing a boundless hallway of lush foliage. The pristine aromas of the pines and cedars elevated the dampened spirits of the nervous child. Overhead, birds flocked in flight and chirped their reassuring hymns; the soothing sounds of nature’s lullaby.

- Module A: Texts in time - Frankenstein and Blade Runner https://sellfy.com/p/Cwkp

Although Victor consciously perceives this allegorical Promethean act of conceiving "a new species" to be a biblical allusion to “pour[ing] a torrent of light" on an industrialising society, it is oxymoronically coined as a “hellish triumph” for becoming a mere “selfish pursuit" for self-glory. The satanic simile of Victor "like the archangel who aspired to omnipotence" thus embodies Shelley's warning that those pursuing the Industrial Revolution for power may too become hyperbolically "enchained in an eternal hell" for their scientific hubris.
- Module B: Critical Study of Hamlet https://sellfy.com/p/bHxE

Drawing on the precepts of the Revenge Tragedy, Shakespeare uses the repetitive rhetoric "if thou didst ever thy dear father love... if thou hast nature in thee" to catalyse Hamlet's vengeance for his father's "foul and most unnatural murder", calling upon his duty as a filial son. However, Shakespeare also uses the Ghost to imbue his ideology of Renaissance Humanism, embodied in Hamlet's apostrophic address "O cursed spite / That ever I was born to set it right", denouncing the Elizabethan axiom of fate. Whilst Hamlet consciously vows, using simile, to execute revenge "with wings as swift / As... the thoughts of love" to relieve his father of Catholic Purgatory, he must ironically become a murder himself.
- Module C: Conflicting Perspectives - Ted Hughes' Poetry https://sellfy.com/p/S37V

Responding to society’s rebuke, Hughes asserts his innocence in the synecdoche of a courtroom where his "whole life… came under the hammer" due to Plath's metaphoric arbitration of their relationship. The noisy onomatopoeic verb "smashed", symbolic of Plath’s irrational behaviour, in contrast to the alliteration of Hughes as "considered and calmer” reinforces her violent temperament, roused even by his seemingly innocuous fault of being “twenty minutes late for baby minding”.
