    Section II

    Re: General Thoughts: General Mathematics Haha, I guess I was lucky. No, I don't remember being taught about it for math; perhaps it was something they assumed we'd know since it was basically asking 'draw this shape'. I still managed to screw it up, though, due to general lack of thought...

    Section II

    Re: General Thoughts: General Mathematics I only knew the vanishing point thing because of being an art student; You get taught about it when you're learning to draw buildings. It's the term they use to describe the way that all lines around you seem to head towards a single point, due to your...

    Tomorrow: It begins...

    GAHHHH! No! How are you guys all coping with this fact? I've done next to no study'; I think I've worked myself to the point where I just gave up, belonging-wise. It's been my downfall in all the exams. To make things worse I've lost my copy of the prescribed text and instead of finding it...

    Conflicting perspectives in To Kill A Mockingbird?

    Hey, this is my related text for Julius Caesar. I know there's the "What is right/What is expected" but I'm having trouble articulating it and coming up with specific scenes; I mean, the conflicting stories in the courtroom can't really be my only thing, can it? Any ideas or good quotes that...

    Help with Early (Selective) Entry questions

    Thank you very much. I was just worried because it is an English degree/major, they would expect you to write a full paragraph, but I stick to the dot points to keep my ideas clear.

    Help with Early (Selective) Entry questions

    I'm really having trouble. I'm applying for an arts degree (my marks don't really measure up but I figure there isn't harm in trying) and I have come to this question: Briefly explain why you are interested in the degree you have selected. Also let us know your career aspirations and what you...

    Theatre design at NIDA - Help on my application

    Hey (: I'm just filling out my application now; it doesn't look very good because I don't have much experience when it comes to theatre... I came to a question: I don't know whether to actually answer it (Because I'd probably either apply for the one at CSU, or go into English teaching) or...

    What TV shows can you absolutely not miss?

    What essay do I write on Gwen Harwood?? *Confused.

    Yeah, there's seven poems: Father and Child, Triste Triste, Mornington, Mother Who Game Life Life, The Violets, Valediction and Sharpness of death. The latter two are the hardest in my opinion. Her context really heavily influenced the poems themselves. She was a passionate feminist, a devout...

    SF: Need Help On Neuromancer.

    Okay, so during my school life there have been very few books I could not get through. There was one in year 8 about a girl on a submarine, And the Hobbit. I now have Neuromancer to add to that list. I've been attempting to get through it for a month and I'm up to chapter 5. Does anyone else...

Splice is a new movie about genetic engineering. Uglies by Scot Westerfeld is a novel, but a brilliant related text...
