bruhhh what if my texts have no characters LOL
'How to Marry your Daughters' and 'Spotty-Handed Villainesses' - they both don't have characters do they? just the narrative voice ugh im so lost for mod c rip
i dont think they can ask u abt specific characters from ur prescribed texts so i wouldnt worry

but i saw this one sample 2019 question which asked us to write from an alternative pov of another minor character or smth
and the problem is that my texts don't really have any concrete characters, just the narrative voice of the author...

You must be extremely ballsy to disagree with an essay question, if anyone does that for their HSC mad respect

Yea you need to study all 3 text types.

So Spotty Handed is a discursive. I would do metamorphosis or something for the creative aspect.

Cause last year it was strictly imaginative. Unless you using techniques in a creative from discursive I doubt spotty will be too useful.

also can we choose a diff text that we didnt study in class?
like my creative one is a metafiction piece and don't really understand how I can emulate the characterisation aspect if the question specifies

omg i remember that question but nesa is always super dodgy (they put 4u methods in a 3u sample paper)

i think that forcing something like writing from pov of a minor characters is highly unlikely and thats also why i suspect they havent asked for reflections for the last 2 years

Yea we were forced to do all 3. I'm surprised your school hasn't made you study a persuasive, discursive and creative.

Whoever says your perspective/opinion matters as long as you have the evidence are the biggest cappers, I knew something was up when 1/3 of my cohort did bad for creative in yr 11. My teacher literally said to the class

All ideas are right, however some ideas are righter than one another

lol noo we did all 3 text types. I just don't really like the texts I studied and since it's mod c i thought maybe it'd be an exception to choose another text
