The 2004 HSC - English Paper 1 (2 Viewers)

[superbird]

i used two. well one of them wasnt in very good detail.

 

[Cab31]

How many related texts did everyone use?

question three was terrible for imaginative journeys. like what the...
god we got screwed as usual

 

[Atticus.]

like a bird, baby. common themes maintained throughout the essay is a definite bonus point.

my essay was schitsky von krap. i gave two pages to my intro, two to tempest and two to my supp text and then 1 para on my SB text (atwood) then a SHITE conclusion. grrr.

welshi you have made my day... but then again you didnt read it.
my texts were lime tree bower, mariner, the raven, road not taken (i managed to talk about post modernism somehow???)
but yeh i said that all of these poems have a protagonist who realises something about their life, experiences etc and it is these experiences that have shaped their character (the journey more imporant than the arrival)
im not sure if thats justifiable

 

[SoCal]

you ppeople are nuts
has the exam finished officially yet?

Doesn't the exam only go for two hours? So it would have officially finished at 11:00 AM. Looks like no one met your challenge.

[grimreaper]

Yeah theyll always want people to talk about techniques in the essay. We started 10 min late for some reason...

 

[welshi]

i used tempest, journey to the interior and wizard of oz. now THAT is an awesome supp.

 

[Narelle]

i think i'm gonna have to make up for marks in paper 2 wed.

sect 1 good

sect 2 crap. had a mad story but it ended up being shit cause i left it till last and then didn't get round to est. it properly and showing the journey well

sect 3 relating it bak to the question was annoying, a bunch of bull, didn't do conclusion

...far out, so over this

 

[Cab31]

man i cant wait to burn coleridge
i hated journeys
i hate the english course full stop.
when are the BOS going to realise that a post modern course gives students too much to talk about and not enought time to write it

[Sickle]

Journeys are gay. But it think I did the paper well... compared to the others at my school that is...

 

[Donshe]

Piss easy exam.



Although writing 2 booklets in small print for th essay got me 20 mins over time. The thing just didn't end.

Story was pretty good for 5 pages.

Short answer, I did alright. Although only had 7 mins for the last part.

Easssy.

 

[jhakka]

[Scoot]

I liked this test. Nice way to make everybody feel happy about the next 4 weeks or so!!

Omg now to burn the tempest!!!

 

[Katie123]

were we supposed to keep it
cos i have it
the supervisor stuffed up and told us to tie EVERYTHING together so they have to go through everyones and pull it apart

 

[absolution*]

Oh what an enjoybale and pleasing paper. The stimulus texts were stimulatory, i answered the creative part creatively and arrived at my destination 5 minutes before the close of play. Jolly well. Toodles.
