Outline the three steps involved in an addition polymerisation reaction. (3 marks)

Oh man, beaten again. The main source of ethylene is petroleum. It is separated into fractions through fractional distillation. Following this longer-chained hydrocarbons are broken down into smaller-chained, more economically viable hydrocarbons including ethene in process called catalytic...

Haha. I was too slow for the metal reactivity question. An isotope is an element with an increased or decreased number of neutrons in the nucleus.

Displacement of metals: a more reactive metal will replace a less reactive metal in it's compound i.e. x(s) + yz(aq) --> y(s) + xz(aq). In this case x is more reactive than y. Reactivity series: The many combinations of these displacement reactions allow for an electrochemical series to be...

Whenever I get a question wrong I redo it until I get it correct.

First person narration is more intimate and heart-felt. It makes it easier for the responder to empathise with and relate to the composer. It personalises and humanises the text, making it more accessible and realistic.

Slighty.

Syllabus is your bible. Check it out at the Board of Studies website. Personal engagement/interpretation is essential in this module i.e. get your own meaning from the text i.e. sparknotes is not effective.

Yes. I just wish I was more 'english-inclined' so I could access Elizabethan lyric easier.

It's got nothing to do with the area of study. It's a Comparative Study of Texts and Context. This means the two texts have some similar universals but different timeframes/ societies/ themes/ issues/ techniques used to convey meaning etc. That said, I haven't done this module yet so I don't...

Yes. Don't know a thing about them but I do know that belonging is a universally ubiquitous concept affecting all of humanity and thus, all the texts ever made. If the ideas of belonging aren't clear maybe it will be particularly difficult to analyse, but not impossible. Experiment with...

Paddy, if you haven't already, print off the lyrics with double-spacing and go through each line/phrase listing the ideas of belonging presented and techniques used to represent these ideas. Just some thoughts you may like to consider: - Australia is a cultural phenomenon: multicultural...

Haven't seen it. Have been told it is a great movie for belonging. Go for it. See what you can achieve.

A few more ideas to add. Focal point: woman in red dress is the dominant object within the image as she is brighter, larger and clearer/more distinguishable (colour, placement, size) than the other people. The other people are all mesmerised/possibly intimidated by the woman and are all...

I'm assuming you're referring to the song by Pat Benatar. Why not start off with some of the lyrics? That's if you're really stuck. Or if you're arguing against the messages of the song begin dramatically with something similar to "Do we really belong to the light, to the thunder? Are we...

Try to cover both (the scenes/textual examples and issues/themes). The scenes should have the issues imbedded within them. E.g. a violent fight between two different cultures has the issues of physical destruction, racism, superiority, masculinity imbedded within it. <--- Not the best example...

There's no set criteria with regards to exactly what you should put in. But some of the generalised features I use are: - Strong introduction clearly addressing the question, establishing your view/thesis and previewing the arguments/texts. - Concept-driven paragraphs. One sub-thesis idea per...
