Story Story.. gr still dont know what im gonna do. Thinking maybe something to do with history. Any ideas?

I dont have a sexy journal -sigh-

Arcorn · 25 Nov 2009, 4:44 PM

It doesn't need to be sexy as long as it is a journal.

But Penta pick an area of history you enjoy because you need to put a lot of research into the story to make it good to the markers.

MissGiggles · 30 Nov 2009, 5:24 PM

are any older people reading this that can give me some tips for a science fiction short story? i have this idea i could really work with and my mentor, my ext. 2 teacher, my friends, the lady at bookhire....everyone seems to like it. i just need to be really careful with pulling it off in the science fiction way.

and problem two is linking my idea back to my other english work lol that's all going to be bull- but nothing there is inspiring me.

sikhman · 30 Nov 2009, 5:51 PM

haha there's a whole module in ext 1 called 'sci-fi' be careful of going too close to the ext 1 course there...

i thought we were supposed to be influenced and inspired by the advanced and extension 1 courses. we have to write all about it in the journal anyway.

Yeah it is supposed to be influenced and inspired by the advanced and extension 1 courses. You're generally right though since you can say something about an underlying tone of belonging within the text and point out to it in your reflection statement.

sikhman · 1 Dec 2009, 5:53 PM

there's a fine line between influence and lack of originality....just saying be careful....

supercalamari · 1 Dec 2009, 8:22 PM

Hi everyone, been offline for a bit so I only just discovered this.

I am doing critical for extension 2 and my basic premise is (probably) going to be gender roles in lesbian literature: are these a caricature of heterosexal ones or are they real identities. Looking at pre-stonewall literature. Need to narrow it down I know.

I have a mentor already. She has taught the course several times before. I would still love any comments people have, be they positive or negative.

sikhman · 1 Dec 2009, 8:27 PM

sounds like a good idea - how far are you going to get into critical theory? is it going to be grounded in a particular ideology? How many texts are you doing? Are you bringing in the progression of identities over time, or merely within one time period?

supercalamari · 1 Dec 2009, 8:44 PM

I'm not entirely sure on the specifics right now, I'll be narrowing it down to either four books or four authors within the 19th and 20th centuries hopefully.

Wouldn't mind tying it in to more modern stuff but the word limit is very tight.

sikhman · 1 Dec 2009, 9:02 PM

yeah I understand - my critical was on terrorism literature, and in the end, i had to narrow it down to post 9/11....

k 4's alright

ptrgrgry · 1 Dec 2009, 9:19 PM

I can't wait to write my major work. I'm doing a short story - an erotic history of European settlement in Australia... it's all to do with the sexual exploration of the unknown. My mentor loves it!

ashie0 · 1 Dec 2009, 9:32 PM

I have no idea whatsoever. I was considering exploring the representation of insanity in post modernism but ugh. I had so many ideas running through my head, and now I have none.

I've read the markers note online and noticed that postmodernism was both popular/done to death and especially in short stories to construct a 'clever' narrative.

A direct-ish quote:
Weaker major works were characterized by the adoption of a ‘postmodern’ style in the belief that this would add sophistication, causing a disruption of textual integrity and limited engagement.

If you can do it well, which I'm sure you can, good luck. I just know I'm avoiding it like the plague.
