okay from a selective school ext 2 english student some of your mod a ideas are not going to go down well. like i know its dumb, but for advanced the hsc markers aren't really looking for you to write something controversial, no matter how interesting.Hii could someone pls help me with refining my essay dieas for common module and module A i wiill be eternally gratefull im soo stucl rn
sooo my crucible ideas are
1.
‘the universal and individual experience of transgression and redemption is examined in The Crucible through the character of John Proctor as he struggles with the wider consequences of his actions and the internal conflict that arose from those actions’
→ Examined through John Proctor have committed the transgression of adultery.
2.
Salem witch trials conveys the destructive nature of fear through mass hysteria in the 16th century Salem witch trials exposing the conflicting ideologies in the McCarthy era.
3.
- Ungrounded fear within a threatened community
Through the portrayal of characters like Abigail Williams, and Reverend Hale, the audience is able to gain insight into the misuse of authority
The audience realizes that the role of adversity has helped the powerless to become powerful
- Miller is able to demonstrate the power that ideological systems hold over a community ’
→ the structure magnifies this by setting itself in a theocratic society.
MY MODULE A IDEAS ARE - hagseed and tempest
1. Her integration of Third Wave Feminist and decoloniality values clash with Shakespeare's Jacobean values which promote female silence and sexualisation
2. Both texts explore the literal and metaphorical means of imprisonment and the damaging consequences it has on Indigenous communities through colonialism.
3. The volatile feature of human nature within both texts acts as a drive throughout the representation of complex issues of power, control and authority in regards to the context of rising political power.
I will be soo grateful if someone could help me in making my ideas concise and not thematic
I would change the first idea to something a bit easier to explain in a paragraph without offending a marker who might have very different opinions.
I think the second idea is good, i would just get rid of the term indigenous, and instead talk about discrimination as a whole. I would phrase it as
2) Shakespeare notes the nature of oppresive stereotypes in restricting transformation, subverted by Atwood in a Postmodern celebration of ... (insert whatever you want to say about what Atwood does)
the third point is really good just too broad. if youre focusing on transformation, I would phrase it as.
3) Shakespeare explores the shift between Christian Humanist belief in forgiveness and Jacobean justice in vengeance through Prospero's moral transformation, whilst Atwood notes the Postmodern power for individual growth and reflection
The Crucible points are good, Crucible is more open ended too.
