Aah I only just had my first lesson today.. it was quite exciting

I'm doing a multi-tiered short story, though with poetry intertwined (most likely) and i'm considering authorial intrusion.. most likely with a psychological bearing, but i don't want to stray into no-mans land with mental disorders and shit. Which is what i was seriously considering for my concept until my lesson this afternoon.. damnit

Is anyone going to the extension english UOW day on the Nov 13th? Not too sure if that's the exact date.

I'm surprised at the amount of people doing critical responses. I'm planning on doing a short story. v_v

[kiniki]

Same, a critical response sounds like death to me.

[Arceupins]

Short story.

Thinking outside the box right here.

3 weeks until my viva voce and I still haven't the slightest clue what I'm going to do

[joshuarG]

hey guyzz

i've sort of got my idea.
i'm really thinking of doing a short story on something to do with one of the chinese dynasties.

or i was interested in poetry, but i was told it was too subjective?
anyone doing poetry?
& what would you suggest/what are your ideas?
because my idea was: the life through the eyes of a young australian male - & to do a suite of poetry. or something like that.


BLEH! so many ideas running through my head! hahah.
& yes, we should all meet up & discuss ideas & chill

[Crazed nut]

Hey, Short-Film script for me. Good luck everyone else!

Why on earth would you pour yourself into this just to impress a high school teacher?

I'm not doing this to impress anyone in any way except to hopefully get a good ATAR, which could kind of be considered impressing uni admissions people. All I mean is that the sort of student who would want to get to school at an insane hour ior leave late in order to do extra work would care about how they graduate. And if you want to graduate with a good report you're not the sort of person who would want to be on any teachers bad side.

Yes i've wanted to write a story for a long time and i want to take this opportunity to have my teachers help me polish it. I'm a good reader. I read "Emma" by Jane Austen at 8 (not that i understood every part of it) and i also study and perform drama inside and out of school (go HRDS!). But you have to really like school and teachers to inflict this on yourself.

I love how most of us have little quotes or bits of poems in our sigs...

I have tofu. >_>

Also, though this is probably the wrong topic to ask in (but I'm far too lazy to search/make a new one), is humour generally frowned upon? If I wanted to make my writing 'witty' would I be marked down because my writing wouldn't be as sophistimicated? I'd ask my teacher, but she's currently away.

A guy in my class had a disarming sense of humour, and he weaves comic into his writing in such a way that just....stuns all of us! Our teacher is so excited by him, she's encouraging him to make his MW humourous and manipulate his 'gifted' writing style. I say go for it, most definitely. Imho, our MW should reflect our strongest abilities.. like my writing is just inherently luxurious and almost poetic and she wants me to write something based in the 19th century or with influences from the romantic era and what not. i reckon it'll work in my favour

Hey guys, I'm Cindy. Also planning on doing a critical response, probably based on one of Carl Jung's theories, but I'd really like to integrate a postmodern understanding of the human condition with psychoanalysis. I've heard postmodernism is a very popular subject matter, so I'm still not certain about that part of my MW. Even still, the combination of postmodernism and psychoanalysis is pretty fascinating =D
