    Emma/Clueless transformed.

    doesn't that question kinda answer itself in regards to why? ... maybe to expand further would be to argue that it can act as a critique of society, as Heckerling uses it.. maybe if you're really desperate u can argue that it helps to teach lessons [even though most things do] cause it's...

    Social + Political Influences on Theories of Evolution

    maybe it's more of a perspective thing, how people viewed it after it was like twisted in such a way.. actually that's a good question, i didn't question that when the teacher taught us.. seemed to make sense of the time =P

    Help.

    i'd say yeah, because the form speaks a lot about the text.. like Heckerling was criticising contemporary consumerist culture throughout the film, that's why her choice to use a 20th century teen pic was really important - it enabled her to juxtapose scenes such as those involving Tai's...

    Social + Political Influences on Theories of Evolution

    also consider Hitler who argued for a supreme aryan race, stuff like breeding championship horses, and also that the rich favoured evolution cause it rid them of their social responsibility to the poor.. also remember that "survival of the fittest" was a phrase coined by marx (i think) and...

    insect excretion

    well basically a lot of insects get their water from food only, even like wood boring insects, so naturally they can't afford to lose a lot of water.. basically they keep reabsorbing water as the waste travels through their body, and in the end they excrete what's essentially a paste - their...

    Biology study methods

    yeah i agree with master gopher.. i found it was really hard to answer the questions - because even though you think you have the right answer, if it's not exactly what they were looking for, marks were deducted.. so yeah, you have to learn your syllabus pretty thoroughly, and see if you can...

    SPEECHES. Should i know them all???

    i heard they specified suu kyi a couple of years back.. and they haven't specified in a while - like we were so sure they were gonna specify in our year, but they didn't - i dunno whether that heightens your chances.. =/ but anyway, my teacher said one of her students learnt a selection of...

    A few quick essay writing questions....

    - you'd underline every title you have, it doesn't matter what text type it is - i'm not sure about this one, but i think you can use persona... - we were taught that in all texts you should term the audience "responders," [i think my teacher was saying that's the term in the syllabus now] and...

    Related material for Coleridge?

    you could use Finding Neverland.. i'm not sure whether it's all that original or whatever, but since it's a pretty new film, i'm sure not that many people have used it yet.. it relates pretty well to all your themes... the whole Neverland thing for Coleridge's pantheistic views, the main...
