    Short Stories for the Individual and Society

    I've got Dorian Gray, but I don't think I'll have enough time before the midcourse to do it properly. I might save it for the trials. I've looked for letters and speeches and haven't found any good sites for them. So, I have no idea where to look. I don't know what you mean by "no sparknotes"m...

    Is the PIP underweighted?

    If the PIP was weighted too much more heavily, and there was a misadventure involved, it would be difficult to come up with an estimated mark instead. Also, considering Extension 2 english has a huge weighting on the major work, no exam and fairly poor scaling unless you get in the high 90s...

    Pips For 2008

    I'm doing an investigation into attention seeking behaviours, specifically the construction of the "Drama Queen" stereotype. It is a stupid, boring topic, but I couldn't make up my mind about anything else.
