Re: How did everyone go?

Haha, I hope I did very well despite my one hour of study.. The questions for aus and tragedy were soo broad, it almost annoyed me cos then you can just write anything and that makes my thinking go all over the place. However.. I think I wrote clever points and examples, and I wrote enough pages haha woo! I aim for 38 .

Re: How did everyone go?

It was a joke - totally not about anything thats in the syllabus! And the other questions for the other topics looked so much more generic!

Re: How did everyone go?

Are you kidding?
The Brecht question was pretty much "Brecht is didactic to make the audience see people and politics. Discuss." Just re-worded. It was not the hardest part of the syllabus at all, it was simply a techniques question.

I thought it, and Contemporary Australian were both very kind questions.

Re: How did everyone go?

Did Tradional Aus and Brecht. Loved the look of the Irish theatre one though. "Irish theatre insults the irish". lol

Both questions were alright. I couldn't word my Aus one as well as would have liked to. Got better by the end of the essay though. Brecht was straightfoward, as long as you new his political context. If you hadn't studied that then you were screwed.
