    HSC questions

    Your teacher hasn't got any because it is a new topic. Here is one I have been given but we are studying Brave New World. "Politics involves the struggle for control in a relationship. It involves taking control and maintaining control." How do the texts you have studied illustrate this idea?

    Representing People and Power - Related Text

    I think you are right - House of Cards is too BIG. I am making this up on the spot but I can imagine that Remember the Titans could work. I f you think I am off track just ignore me. So, there is the new black coach and the old white one. There is genuine tension as the struggle for power and...

    Julius Caesar

    Shakespeare is the composer - his perspective is the whole representation - so, no, don't talk of his perspective. You could structure around perspectives. But you need to show a breadth of knowledge in the play so don't limit perspectives to the first acts.

    how do you compare letters to alice and pride aqnd prejudice?

    I wouldn't divide the essay into a para on values and one on technique and one on ideas/links. The whole essay is about links. What I think you should do is decide on two or three values (many of them have been listed in this thread and all are useful). You will write about each of these values...

    advanced english at the start of the HSC year

    That all depends on your school. There is no reason why a student can't go from standard to advanced if they are capable BUT depending on the school's text choices it may be VERY difficult. It is easier if the whole of Year 12 starts with journeys and the same texttype is studied across both...

    Essay Introductions And Thesis

    I don't agree that the thesis and the answer are different things. Your thesis is the argument for THAT question. Building a structure with potentially useful ideas is not a thesis - that's just sound preparation. OK, intros: I would definitely include the texts BUT I think what your friend...

    Values hamlet/ragad

    Not really. But you are right in identifying the nature of the form and techniques which are developed/used in a particular context. The easy answer is - the form and technique are your evidence NOT a value. Values include - action, order and uncertainty. Interestingly, they work for both texts...

    Speeches

    I think the advice here is good. :) Don't try to link the speeches too closely - they are quite different. Perhaps link them by CONTRAST. However I have an idea which might work.... both speeches are about a country on the threshhold of something important and a recognition of great...

    in the wild br and bnw

    Almighty BZZZ has got it right. Explore the notion of the way humanity is affected as a result of the damage done to the environment. You could also look at the reservation in BNW - it is limited environment and the growth their is unnatural too. Besides Huxley endorses no world and finds...

    Blade Runner and the book

    Sorry to say it again but NO. Book is irrelevant. Know the film. Besides it's the film's context you need, the film's presentation style and techniques and the film's main values - all of which are different from the book "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" So save your energy for the film...

    Telling the truth help!! please! urgent!

    Hi. I don't know if I quite get the task. Sounds too complicated really. You could do reenactments of written texts - so things like Jessica Rowe's faux pas last year when she said to a general in East Timor "it must be really bad over there because you've got armed soldiers with you" and he...
