    hey stuwy :) well it seems like nick covered it all i think what you may have been confused about is the difference between the crime fiction genre (specifically) and questions about the concept of genre in general. both are possible. i don't think there will necessarily b one essay question...

    Genre Theory

    you do need to understand genre theory you do not need to write a lot about it. if your teacher is anything like mine was then a lot of the stuff in that fat book will be useless (but reading it might help to consolidate your ideas about genre theory) i dont think you need to use the words...

    English Standard- IMAGE

    dont feel bad, yeah overall it's def. a decent essay and you raise some good points. i like the way you link the theme of Cinderella with that of Strictly Ballroom, and then compare the texts :) but yeah, just some constructive criticism - it sounds a little like you've just written out your...

    Genre Theory

    rofl..that should be voltaire, yeats, shakespeare, john webster and the german word for 'bligh' :P your focus should be more on the characteristics of the crime fic genre than on genre theory as a general concept. but you should demonstrate awareness of how concepts of genre theory relate to...

    using 'popular' texts 4 crime fiction??

    imho you're right when u say u could use it to ur advantage by saying that the cf genre is best suited to pop-culture conventions. the roots of the cf genre were embedded in the context of popular culture, and using your prescribed & supplementary texts u could argue that it has historically...

    Dramatic Irony in Fontline Eps

    um, to clear things up..dramatic irony and sophoclean irony are the same thing :) dramatic irony is just more commonly used by hsc eng teachers, i think like allyteaded already pointed out, dramatic irony is when the audience knows something the characters (or some characters) do not (like when...

    related material 4 strictly ballroom

    hiya kat... well, maybe u could look at texts that use image to shape meaning in a similar way to strictly ballroom...ok that's vague, i kno...but like for example, baz luhrmann conveys mood/atmosphere thru use of colour - u could find another text type (eg an artwork or cartoon) that employs a...

    short story lengths?

    my teacher told my friend last yr that it was really important she kept to the limit, but if she was really pushed 100 words or so over should be ok. when i had trouble hacking at my reflection statement, she said that i'd probably get away with 10% over... but then i got it down to 1499 words :D

    short story lengths?

    rayanz - your 3u & 4u marks have no impact on each other - both subjects are scaled independently. all it means is that you're 3u mark might not count towards your uai and your 4u almost certainly will :)

    So upset..

    i think it is possible to request an impartial remark if you don't think the mark was justified. and you're definitely entitled to an explanation for why you were given a 12. is there anyone else you can show it to for feedback? like the head teacher english or some such person?

    What if i can't link my major work??

    you don't actually need to be studying whatever you link your work to - i crapped on about how postmodernism influenced me heaps, but it wasn't one of my electives (hell, i didn't even understand it!):eek:
