    Who IS studying for trials and what are you doing?

    Yesterday, I did around 5 hours work on Sparta for Ancient History. Today, I've watched half a documentary on Sparta my teacher gave me, and now I'm moving onto CAFS. Tomorrow, I'm having a break and going out with a few friends, which means thursday will be spent on my PIP, as far as I know...

    Careers Expo

    I thought it was great. I got a heap of undergraduate books, and the people at each stand were really informative - especially the girl from Uni of Canberra and the guy from International film school (?). They pretty much told me everything about the schools. The seminars were also really...

    who has started their pip

    I've completed my introduction and half of my central material. Oh, and I completely agree with the comment that it's extremely hard to put pen to paper. Honestly, I had no idea how to start my PIP, but once I started, I couldn't stop. The only downfall is - I'm very behind in my Society...

    No clue how to go about answering this question.

    I'm guessing they want you to discuss the many aspects of crime demonstrated in texts and how they're affected by their particular context. By this, you could refer to the genre as a whole, then narrow it down to the distinct sub-genres of your texts (e.g. Hitchcock's Rear Window is a realist...

    How to take notes for Hamlet?

    Definitely try writing notes under the themes displayed in Hamlet. Y'know, Appearance Versus Reality, Hamlet's inability to act etc. Then, try finding scenes/quotes to support this theme, whilst including specific techniques to support your theories too. Also, find other critics'...

    Homeschooled students HELP (PIP)

    That sounds like an exciting topic! Sorry, I can't help though, seeing that I went to a mainstream school, and then in Year 10, began distance ed. (home student). I think it'd be a bit difficult finding people to survey, seeing that most of the homeschooled students I personally know, have...

    Lycurgus Sources.. Bah.

    Just research Lycurgus' reforms, in conjunction with different archaeological and historical views on him. I mean, did Lycurgus really exist? Poets at the time didn't speak of him whatsoever, however, only sources after his existance (e.g. Herodotus) speak of his significance, and how...

    Belief systems - please Help

    A belief is "trust, faith, or confidence in someone or something". Ultimately, a belief is basically something one accepts as true or real. It could be a belief in the education system or in popular culture. Seriously, everybody has beliefs; if you didn't, you wouldn't be human. Maybe take...

    Humanity in Bladerunner/Frankesntein

    Maybe you could mention the scientific and technological idealistic advancements, which were extremely influential at the time both texts were developed. For example, Galvanism, which is the contraction of a muscle that is stimulated by an electric current (developed by Luigi Galvani). Shelley's...

    Frankenstein is a hobo

    Likewise, it took me a while to get into the novel, but after intently studying the text, I love it! I love the issues the novel brings up (overreaching, man playing God), and I love the parallels it shares with Blade Runner. Oh, and I absolutely adore the way Shelley has creatively...

    Frankenstein/BladeRunner

    I'm currently loving studying Frankenstein and Blade Runner. They provide us with a whole range of techniques, encapsulating all the different 'lessons' within both texts (aspects of overreaching, man playing God etc). I also love Shelley's use of allusions (esp. Rime of the Ancient Mariner and...

    Frankenstein vs Blade Runner

    Like Frankenstein, Blade Runner is valued for the fact that it deals with the consequences of humans pretending to be God, integrated with other concerns about the future of humankind. However, it also carries with it that 'sci-fi' attraction of taking its audience into a disturbing world of the...

    PIP Day

    I also went to the PIP day, and I thought it was interesting. Although, some of the schools who attended the day were extremely disruptive (the girls behind me kept kicking my seat), but other than that the day was thoroughly worth while. Haha, and there were some Hip Hop rappers who were...
