ive heard english markers really like it if you ponder the nature of writing / being a writer in your work, just get really poetic about 'what it means to write' and they eat it up (source: my english teacher, who is a senior marker)

Guys I have a question for essays in general. Say I integrate 2 quotes per paragraph for 3 paragraphs, how many techniques do I use per quote? I've heard its one per quote otherwise the essay gets rushed and less in depth but from others I've heard that it deepens the analysis, hence getting more marks. So, is it one technique per quote or more?

As many as you can as long as its relevant
2 quotes per body isn't a lot so you would want to go really in depth into each of them

I *think at least 2 is good, but only if they have a purpose and help reinforce your argument.

 

[beetard]

Aight bet thanks, how many would you recommend whilst not being too shallow with each technique for an 800 word essay.

around 10 in total for that length

I think doing 3 quotes per parra is better. I usually just do 1-2 techniques per quote

 

[Study to success]

But how many parragraphs?

3

3-4 quotes in each para with 1-2 techniques per quote if you can find 2 then always do 2

can I get a 70 atar with minimal study. If I half wing exams surely it'll be fine right

can I get a 70 atar with minimal study. If I half wing exams surely it'll be fine right

i mean thats the average atar so...

 

[Study to success]

i mean thats the average atar so...

cause tbh I only need a 70 for the business degree I wanna do. If it makes my parents happy, my mental health happy, and is easy to find jobs then ig it's not too bad. Plus it's really easy to branch out to do different things

 

[Study to success]

Also maq early entry will be pretty easy so now it's just reassuring me that even if my mental health goes down from here it won't affect my future too much hopefully

did something happen?

 

[Study to success]

did something happen?

im to depressed to put an actual effort into studying so im just trying to reassure myself that even if I do fail all my half yearlies it will be fine. Also I've had a second thought of career options and do I really wanna do design. I wanna do something like businessy/ media, marketing stuff more tbh and design will probably make me unemployed. I mean I can always do design as a side thing and run a business

 

[Study to success]

Always better to aim higher though

yeah I'll see if my mental health permits this

 

[Study to success]

cause if I don't find any fulfilment in studying, any purpose in it, then how am I gonna find any motivation. All of my efforts will be pointless and just be liek filling empty vessels that won't do anything in my life. I don't think I've understood how depressed it's made me until it all came crashing down today and all these emotions that have accumulated over the months has finally hit me
