yeah i thought the Brecht question was ok. i hadnt done any in depth study about the individual characters political context though, so i had to just use my basic understanding. just bassically outlined epic acting and staging techniques and how it shows the individual characters playing roles to convey capitalism and bourgois society. got about 6 pages down.

the austrailan one wasnt too bad, however it zoned me out and i just couldnt word my ideas right and ended up having to rush it cause i did it second and was running out of time. in my answer i did a two page paragraph on grief for fuck sakes lol. aw well its all over.

i reackon for both of them i got band 4's or 5's, maybe if im lucky a band 6.

how much did people write?

shows the individual characters playing roles to convey capitalism and bourgois society

But you did make sure to reference that Brecht was 'anti' these things right?


As for number of pages, I did 6.5 for each question. Smaller to mid sized writing.

um now that i think about it i didnt actually specifically mention that he was against these things. ussually said stuff like 'represents the negative effect of capitalism on society' or 'brechts veiw of bourgois society as criminals' kind of thing, so i hope i didn't over analyse my ideas the point of forgetting to mention the bare basics lol.

[Absolutezero]

That'd be fine. You've given his perspective on it, which shows that he was against it.

[Mithead]

The question was less focussed on what he said though, and more about how he made the audiences see it. So like epic staging etc etc...
Like obviously you had to mention which particular political contexts are relevant, but it was mainly HOW he did it.

[Absolutezero]

Definitely. Like, if all you said was 'Brecht was a socialist' you wouldn't be marked very highly.

Love the Australian Question...

Got raped by the American one. I spent 10 minutes trying to come up with a decent answer to the question. I just talked about Expressionism and Symbolism... I don't know if its right or not..but thats what the Syllabus says about American so it had to be in their somewhere..lol

[Annalisee]

I got a shock when I first saw the brecht question and freaked abit but then had a think and realised it wasn't difficult.
Filled up both books within 70 minutes. I'm quite happy with how I went.

[AlanaMorgan]

mmm yes wasnt prepared for question 7
i expected 2 talk about drives and expressionism n hpefully even contemporary interpretations
but character relationships?



unhappy


Australian was ace =]

The australian queston was fairly simple.

I got freaked out by Brecht when I first looked at it, then I realised it was a fairly simple question once you decoded it. I made a big deal of the word "See" in the question, for the audiences to see, rather than feel with the characters. I shoved some stuff in about historification in there somewhere. I never write about it.

9 pages for both. Hopefully enough. Free of exams now
