These are some point you could write.

1. The framing - its quite subtle (no sharp corners), suggesting a sense of comfort
2. Layering of the hands - Unity
3. Different types of hands - Desite age or culture we can gain a sense of affiliation etc etc
4. House - white symbolising peace
5. Greyscale - Nostalgic
6. The open door - welcoming
7. Centralisation of the hands
8. Vector lines of the fingers - Once again. Unity.

Most of this is just the art of bsing.

Seriously? The point was stressed by our teacher as a past marker that the 5 mark question should be approximately three pages. I ended up doing 6 and a half pages total in the end for section 1.

NB: I know they say quality not quantity, but if you are doing advanced it should be quality and quantity.

Pretty difficult but i did 1 and 4 for the last one.

people can write a 2 page essay and get over 12 for it, others can write a 10 page essay and get 8.

Exactly. Don't be panicking if you felt you didn't write enough - of course, a 2 or 3 page essay is never going to get full marks, but it can still get a decent score as you say. If you make sure you write a quality essay, length won't have that much of an effect. If everything you write is bad, no huge amount of number words will save you.

Ditto, point and case:

2/3 page for 7 marker in trial, and i managed to squeeze a 6 because i didnt conclude it! And i seriously doubted that one. Just made sure it was all techniques, comparison and analysis and voila.

Mmmm, same

[sharp_pencil]

The first text was EASSSSSYYYYYY picture just make shit up about it ie:
different ages, the hand symbolizes unity and cooperation. The open door of the house symbolizes everyone belongs bla bla bla u know make it up

the forth text however was surprised anal sex (used my tears as lubricant).

[MrDimple]

i talked bout text 1 and text 2 in the last bit.

I saw text 1 as the hands are the foundation of the house, and they work hand in hand to something symbolizing unity.

ye but i only wrote 2 pages some ppl wrote like 7 pages lol

i did texts 1 and text 3 (like how the girl feels at one with nature, her comfort bla bla she has little connection wit people bla bla )

its basically how well you can make bs up..

[driaxx]

The only one I found really hard to find techniques for was the one with 'home'

eugh

I think in the end I used the reference to "home is where one starts" or whatever, the repetitions/motif of the word home throughout the story

and umm first person narration at some part i think.

That one killed me!
