    Looking forward to the future... But struggling to survive the present. Anyone else?

    Occasionally I guess it does get a bit like that. I feel suffocated at times. On the other hand, the past 17 years have gone sooooo fast, and I think the next one will be the same. I wouldn't fast forward twelve months if I had the chance. It's the last year and probably the most challenging...

    Best+Worst of Teacher Quotes and Habits

    I remember we had this heeaps old teacher for business who would forget she had our classes all the time. Anyway, we had her this one lesson, and she walked out of the classroom to photocopy something and so someone stole her keys and hung them from the fan. She walked back in and didn't even...

    Frankenstein/BladeRunner

    In which ways to the three narrators of frankenstein develop? Vic gains a deeper appreciation of nature, possibly due to the interactions he has with Elizabeth. Elizabeth has always had a deep respect for nature. "A change had indeed taken place in me: my health, which had hitherto...

    Repeating year 12

    Its up to you what you do. You need to do whats right for you and don't worry about the bullsh it of what other people think. I know all too well how different circumstances can stuff everything up, im just lucky that these didn't happen in the hsc, rather beforehand. Maybe starting over again...

    Repeating year 12

    Personally, I think your putting a lot of pressure on yourself to get a UAI of 90. Is doing another year of school really gonna help you get further in regards to tertiary education? Theres still a risk of not getting the UAI again. Why will next year be different to this year? I wouldn't...

    Bad Teachers

    I had what i considered to be a bad teacher for english. They were seemingly impossible to please and so for the first three terms i didn't bother with the subject, concluding that the teacher was an idiot and that nothing i did would please her. I came 28th in the year and got something like...

    As You Like It

    I'm doing the film Bend It Like Beckham and need to find a third text. My thesis is that "it would be ignorant to conclude that belonging is better than alienation because one must take into account the circumstances of the environment and individuals." I am linking them through positive and...

    Movies about belonging

    For something a little bit different, you could try also "August Rush." Just watched it then. It highlights belonging to love (relationships) as well alienation in family (he is an orphan who has never met his parents. he is alienated in the orphange because he never gave up hope that his...

    Hmmm, okay, well im doing Bend It like Beckham for my film. I don't really know how to explain it but I'll give you a couple of examples for the film that I'm doing. I'm not sure how correct it is, but its worth a try. - The music we hear in Jesminders living room is native to India, showing...

    Movies about belonging

    Montage is used at the beginning of the film where Eva is recalling her life up until where it is today - growing up, someone getting shot, her father getting taken away. You could relate that beack to belonging and how the latino's dont belong in that society and how they are being alienated by...

    As You Like It

    I think you can relate belonging back to anything. You can also relate it back to its antithesis: alienation There are quite a lot of examples of belonging and alienation in A.Y.L.I but i find it hard to relate it back the thesis You just have to look for it i think. Advanced is a really tough...

    Swearing in creative writing??

    A kid in my class analysed a piece of work for an assignment called "Fuck the Police." He got full marks for it and the teacher read it out to the class despite having to swear basically every second word. It was hilarious, especially coz the deputy principle walked in as she was reading it. I...

    As You Like It

    I posted this up on another part of the forum, but i think it might help. I hope it does. I have a few notes which i hope don't confuse you: ACT ONE - Shakespeare uses more than one plot line to reinforce the themes of belonging vs alienation (ie: oliver and orlando, duke frederick and duke...
