Yep yep

HSC Question 2002

In comparing your TWO texts you will have to become aware of how the contexts of the texts have shaped their form and meaning. Of more interest, perhaps is the comparison of the values associated with each text.

To what extent has this point of view been your experience to your study of In the Wild?

I'd go look for ETA practise papers, but I'm currently moving house, and can't really find anything much.

Past trial qu's would be good.

CSSA 2002:

How have the tensions between human aspirations and perceptions and the forces of nature been shaped in contrasting or complementary ways in the 2 texts you have studied?

[muddy_gumboot]

1) How is meaning shaped in each text by social, cultural and historical contexts?

2)The setting of each narrative: How does each composer use marginalisation of setting to create or atmosphere and mood that reinforces the central message of humanitys' need for nature.

3)The use of the main character: how do Huxley and Ridley Scott use John the Savage and Deckard respectively to illustrate the impoverishment of the whole world through the blotting out or destruction of its natural elements?

4)The ending of each narrative: What conclusions can you draw about the value of nature from the ending of each text?

5) The style and form of each narrative: How do the style and form of each text contribute to its examination of humanity's relationship with the natural world.

[clairethebear]

I don't know which year this question is from:

How has the composer of the contemporary text used the earlier text to say something new? Answer this question in relation to the TWO prescribed texts you have studied.

[clairethebear]

This is from 2002 paper 2:

In comparing you two texts you will have become aware of how the contexts of the texts have shaped their form and meaning. Of more interest perhaps, is a comparison of the values associated with each text.
To what extent has this point of view been your experience in your study of Transformations of In The Wild?

Module A: Comparative Study of Texts and Context
Brave New World (Aldous Huxley) and Blade Runner � Director�s Cut (Ridley Scott)

Question 1 � Elective 1 and 2: In the Wild/Transformations (HSC 2002)
In comparing your TWO texts you will have become aware of how the contexts of the texts have shaped their form and meaning. Of more interest, perhaps, is a comparison of the values associated with each text.

To what extent has this point of view been your experience in your study of Transformations OR In the Wild?

Question 2 � Elective 2: In the Wild (HSC 2001)
Compare how TWO prescribed texts you have studied explore the tension between humanity and the natural world.

Question 2 � Elective 2: In the Wild (Catholic Trial 2002)
How have the tensions between human aspirations and the forces of nature been shaped in contrasting or complementary ways in the two texts yo have studied?

Question 2 � Elective 2: In the Wild (Catholic Trial 2001)
�The experience of the wild exposes and educates�. How well is this statement supported by your prescribed texts?

Question 2 � Elective 2: In the Wild (Independent Trial 2001)
At times, humanity sees itself at odds with Nature and wants to tame it, and at other times humanity and Nature are rhythmically attuned. Discuss this statement in relation to the TWO prescribed texts you have studied.

Question 2 � Elective 2: In the Wild (BOS sample question)
You are a visitor to the worlds of your prescribed texts. Write a personal reflection on the relationships between humans and nature in each of the worlds, and show how they differ in the two prescribed texts.

The prescribed texts are:
* Prose Fiction and Film � Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
Ridley Scott, Blade Runner � Director�s Cut
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Phew*, I hate capitalising and formalising questions, in an effort to make it legible/comprehendible for others.

Our trial:

"People's relationship with nature varies between two extremes - control and exploitation on the one hand, wonder and empathy on the other". Discuss.

:-P

[freaking_out]

well in my trial (the independent) we had da following:

Composers in this elective communicate the vision that, regardless of the progress that has been made in civilisation, contact with the natural world is vital for humanity"

discuss.



i don't think there is much variety in this module...i just memorised a general essay on the relationship b/w human and nature in both texts.

now they don't call it sticky anymore...but anyways, its just means that this thread will stay on top of the list regardless if someone replied recently or not.

ours was

"No text stands alone"

how has the interrelationship between blah and blah and each of their contexts contributed to meaning?

(not worded exactly the same but i can't find my paper)

[Lazarus]

ETA 2001

Humans always strive to create their own image of "the wild". Explore the views of the wild you have encountered in the TWO prescribed texts you have studied.

"Changing the context completely transforms the text." Have you found this to be true in your study of this elective? Discuss your two texts and the ways that context influences them.

"Over time, texts can cross-pollinate with one another to produce an exciting new text." What key features do your set texts have in common? What are the essential differences between them?

[mei_ling03]

our trial:

can't find the paper, but something like this...
You have been asked to speak on a television program and discuss the making of your text (BNW or BR). Write an interview making reference to both Brade New World and Blade Runner.

our 1/2 yearly
"Each composer gives a different experience of the wild". Discuss this statement with close reference to Brave New World and Blade Runner.
