    Emergency ! !

    Do it. I dropped Maths 2U so I could do both English Extensions and History Extension and it was the best decision I have EVER made. I was about 3rd in my maths class, but the effort it took to get the grades was totally disproportionate. If you're good at English do it, Legal Studies doesn't...

    So everyone keeps saying doing Ancient, Modern and Extension is too much work?

    Don't worry about it, I did all 3 coming 3rd in Modern 2nd in Ancient and 2nd in Extension... one of my best mates came first in all 3 :) It is a lot of work, but often you will find it links together and if you do your Major Project in the summer holidays then you are set... its the last minute...

    BOS Showcase: 2009 Major Works

    I'm *meant* to be doing my extension history right now but i got so caught up in everyone's major works I just gave up and embraced the procrastination (certainly one of the more enjoyable forms of this) Everything I've read has been pretty damn brilliant - my personal favourite "Insert your...

    Help With 'Feliks Skrzynecki'

    My whole class had to write an analysis about this poem, and I have all of them. Its a bit of a hassle to type them out/read them again though - so if you need this for an assessment task urgently i will do it, but if its just for homework or something I think I will pass!

    Can I PM/email anyone my narrative for advise?

    I had them as a way of breaking up the flashback sort of temporal fragmentation (yes, i said that just to sound pretentious). They aren't essential and if they're not something you put in normally you probably shouldn't keep them, i think the paragraphing works well enough with the blank lines...

    Can I PM/email anyone my narrative for advise?

    I got 100% in the year 11 exams and I'm complacent... The Pompeii and Herculaneum unit justs revolve around learning long lists of place names and people basically.

    Poetry - tell me wat ya think of my poem

    Here are 3 examples of my shitty poetry Starting in year 10 with a sonnet i had to do, note the horrible forced rhymes - Dreams are those fairies beneath conscious reign Now banish’ed away from cheerful light of day And in the caverns of the brain decay Like shackled prisoners they must...

    pompeii hsc

    My personal favourites are about the wine industry: "Cheers we drink like wineskins!" "Inn-Keeper of the devil, die drowned in your own piss-wine" Classic shizzle pompeii!

    help..does this make sense?

    I'm writing my creative piece about a party where a mate of mine went missing for 4 hours after taking valium and drinking. Probably one of the most terrifying nights of my life, but one that bound together the people who went looking for him/called the police forever. As it turned out he was...

    BELONGING: peter skrzynecki

    Nah, Feliks adopted him when he married Peter's mother. http://www.bookrags.com/biography/peter-skrzynecki-dlb/ "His Polish-born adoptive father, Feliks Skrzynecki, who had been in forced labor in Germany, in 1948 married Skrzynecki's mother, Kornelia Woloszczuk, a young Ukrainian woman...

    Catcher In The Rye

    Say something about the irony of him hating the "phonies" yet finding it nearly impossible not to "kid" people. For example the guys mum on the train, whom he tells that he has a brain tumor. This could be construed either as a misguided attempt to try and belong by imitating those he sees...

    BELONGING: peter skrzynecki

    Re: help with skrzynecki poems The house is almost like a refuge for them, it contrasts with images from the industrial district within which they live (i don't have the poem in front of me so no quotes). The theme of time runs throughout, every stanza has some reference to a time or a a period...

    BELONGING: peter skrzynecki

    Look up a bit of Skrzynecki's personal history and any allusions he makes in his poems, it helps loads. For instance the poem "Feliks Skrzynecki" is not about his "real" father, but his adopted father - and that enables to the poem to be read in an entirely new way. And just keep thinking about...

    Fight Club

    Yeah, try the book. Unless you actually want to write about how the movie industry changed the text (which works well sometimes). The project I did on it was connecting it to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, I can link people to it if anyone really wants to read it.. For Belonging I'm going for...
