if angeline jolie was barbie, does that make beowulf ken?

After our trials, our extension 1 teacher told us that we were misusing those two terms. As I understand, a social convention is a something that is expected from society (like gander roles) and that social institution is (according to my teacher) a set of prinicples that society follow (like...

I think i disagree with this, as Austen wasn't so much as a pioneer as a critic of her time. A pioneer would have been the likes of Mary Wollstencroft, who wrote "The Vindication of Women's Rights", which would have influenced Austen (as she was an educated young lady). Austen merely...

There's a thread involving supplementary text http://community.boredofstudies.org/328/module-b-texts-ways-thinking/115942/supplementary-material-individual-society.html For the scientific, you could use Darwin's Origin of Species (well, our teacher told us it would be a good nonfiction...

well, i haven't even watched frontline yet, and trials are in 2 weeks (but i do have one related text...)

i used to lack the motivation to open my books to study. however, these holidays, all my stuff is in front of me, but i just can't get my head around the studying part. I can sit there and study for about 20 mins, then get distracted for the rest of the day i want more holidays though...

OUr school has released about 3 drafts of the trial timetable, and no one is satisfied with it. The way things seem to be going, economics and extension 1 english are both on the last day, which sux because they are both heavily reliant on your knowledge on material (as opposed to maths) ...

hey i was looking through every single piece of paper my 2U teacher has given me regarding KIng Lear, and apparently there are 2 'modern interpretations' of lear. One is called "Ran" and the other is called "a thousand acres"( i think colin firth is in that movie). Hope that helps ( and not...

my mum is a prick when it comes to dating...typical azn mother "no dating till you finish uni" pfft! so pathetic. that, and i wouldn't date anybody in my school (the guys are either friends or pricks) but i'd prefer to be single atm, cuz i doubt i would be doing very well at school with...

The teacher basically copied out an example from maths in focus, and i'm really confused, in particular at the point where we write a general equation (she kinda just skipped a few lines). Cambridge isn't much help either, as their examples are confusing (as usual). In particular the first...

The 'love' you feel now is a mere infatuation. One day you'll realise what an idiot you've been and that the real guy is nothing like the guy in your imagination. He'll sweet talk you into believing anything, and use it against you, and maybe, when it's too late, you'll experience the...

Thanks for the help!

my favourite subject is probably extension english, but i don't think i'm anywhere near the top of that subject. My best subject is probably Economics (rather boring and difficult to comprehend) or business studies (its easy to get good marks without studying too hard). But my most hated...

Ok Post half-yearlies, and i can kinda see some link between andrea and the C19th (like how browning is criticising those who sell their integrity in order to be temporarily pleasured etc). but i'm still having some probs relating it to the Browning's context especially who he is...

eg this sort of stuff: *an attention to the material conditions of people's lives, and lived relations between people *a belief that peoples' consciousness of the conditions of their lives are reflections of these material conditions and relations *an understanding of "social class" in...

According to my everwise english teacher, marxism is all about total equality with a single party incontrol of this equality...and something about how everyone owns an equal share of everything (blah blah blah)... you should research the marxist philosophy (ie type in "marxism" into wikipedia )...

I don't think there is. I've been to several places, and they have modern representations of macbeth, R+J, Othello, A midsummer night's dream, but no King Lear! I've been desperate enought to search through the internet, and have looked up "king Lear" on imdb to no avail... I wish there was...

Re: Cadetships 2007 Cool, thanks!

Re: Cadetships 2007 K, that sounds pretty cool. but i'm still figuring out how to get to the online applications...

Re: Cadetships 2007 Just wondering... Is anyone having trouble accessing the online application forms? I spent most of last night trying to figure out where exactly on the site the link for the application is (well, i was procrastinating, but thats beside the point). I've only been able...
