    Does anyone like English?

    no, i cant say i agree. even ext2 maths....*whinges bout numbers that aren't real*...it's not the same: the 'creativity' is working out the best way to tackle the problem to answer it, but, at the end of the day, there's still only one right and one wrong answer, there's not much room for...

    Does anyone like English?

    i always thought that was what was most boring about maths --> there's no sense of achievement in getting an answer as the steps are logical progression that anyone can be taught to follow. There's no sense of individualism as there is in english. As for science, once you get past high school...

    Listing texts

    that doesn't really make sense to me gotterfunken, nwatts. yes, your central thesis should operate on a conceptual level linking all texts, HOWEVER, you can hardly pull together a substantial thesis without having a fully synthesised body of evidence (ie. techniques and extrapolated meanings)...

    Memorizing Essays.........

    well, i can't say i agree with you there, the fact is not everyone is capable of it (hence the general bell curve of results). My first thought was to agree with you about "aim[ing] for the highest," people should try their best...though i feel kinda hypocritical writing it seeing as i totally...

    King Lear Essay (opinions and advice please)

    well, it would be except that the bit about existentialism is wrong --> essentially, existentialism is a modern philosophy. Tate's revisionist ending was popular until the 19th century: it wasn't because people 'desired simpl[e] themes of emotion and love,' audiences were not satisified with...

    King Lear Essay (opinions and advice please)

    ok, well, my comment was based on the fact that you talked in your piece about the themes of Shakespeare's 'Lear.' I was trying to say that this module requires you to look at the text in various contexts through time and analyse the various interpretations and the techniques that allows us to...

    King Lear Essay (opinions and advice please)

    Yes, it is quite acceptable in science and social sciences to use "I will talk about..." "The essay shall explain..." etc. because these are generally structured or guided responses. in fact, you can write your essay for these subjects using subheadings and bullet points and still get full marks

    King Lear Essay (opinions and advice please)

    1. grammar --> never have 'and' after a comma wordy --> maybe something like: "Although first conceived over 400 years ago, Shakespeare's King Lear has proved adaptable to a multitude of contexts and interpretations." (that wasn't too crash hot either, but you get what I mean I...

    Handwriting

    I'm also a "speed writer" --> i have very average sized handwriting and wrote about 16 BOS pages per response. For what it's worth I used pens that I was used to writing with (so there was no problems with the grip) and not those gel ones (they smudge too easily). I also wrote with other pages...

    Allegory and anomie????

    Allegory: "an allegory is a narrative in which the agents and action, and sometimes the setting as well, are contrived not only to make sense in themselves, but also to signify a second, correlated order of persons, things, concepts or events. There are two main types: 1) Historical and...

    Question - Feature Article

    no, you should not "forgo form and aim for content and flow of the writing?" --> what's the problem with doing both? The quality of your writing in constructing a feature article should be equal to that of an essay. If your school did not mark you down for not using the correct form then...

    Text 4 - Journey to the Interior

    *shoots glitterfairy* ...well, you did ask! anyway, i agree --> it's absolutely ridiculous that an EE2 teacher couldn't explain the poem. Frost's poem is dreadfully overdone which makes it the one to steer clear of. Journey to the Interior is probably the most applicable (and reasonably...
