    SMH Article on Paper 2

    I have one massive problem with your argument. NOWHERE in the course rubric does it specify a,b,c or d. ie you state that to come up with their own thoughts, students have to go outside the syllabus. I return that by definition, NOTHING relevant in an essay on telling the truth, original of...

    SMH Article on Paper 2

    Sorry to but in, but one of the exemplar responses i saw for 'telling the truth' established that 'responders are as complicit as composers in manipulating the truth' (or words that meant exactly the same thing). This formed the major part of a slightly radical way of looking at the course - hey...

    SMH Article on Paper 2

    A little weak. In exemplar responses, students have demostrated through an essay their understanding of a concept. Even the simplest of these (physical journey) can be examined in multiple ways from the one text. Each student has their own way of looking at the concept. Sometimes this is 'uh i...

    SMH Article on Paper 2

    Actually, I found it interesting to note that the differential between bands is, more often than not, the ability to write coherently and elegantly (which is the good version of simply). As in, I often find it that a band 4 response THEORETICALLY makes the same points as a band 6 exemplar...

    I believe they call that the 'School Certificate,' though I can't actually remember studying for that one.

    SMH Article on Paper 2

    Go up a few posts. One of your friends posted there saying hi. He has 1880 posts at the moment. According to you, he should be committing suicide about now. ...Not a very nice person, are you? Saying that about one of your friends. At a time of such high stress. I'd be ashamed to be you...

    SMH Article on Paper 2

    What a good HSC student you must be. You appear to have studied the thread, and then written a post containing everything that someone else already said. I'm going to call you Eustace, for the obvious association with 'useless.' Prove your worth, or become the synonym you search for.

    Jesus Christ, actually read the posts. We're not bitching about the article, we're insulting you. Now I don't think you got my drift. FUCK OFF.

    SMH Article on Paper 2

    Go AWAY. You interupted our thread and filled it with a particularly low quality brand of shit. See the other names around yours? Does seeing your posts in the middle give you that semi-erotic feeling of belonging? Wanna play with the big boys now? Its an illusion; you, like your opinions...

    Now now, Schroedinger, don't bite the hand that fed this thread in the first place. There are better people to insult. Speaking of which...

    SMH Article on Paper 2

    *sighs* Honey, if the thread is useless, who have you got to blame but yourself? Look, this thread contained intelligent debate (it contained a debate, and intelligent people were posting). It amused several people, and made their lives a better place. You, by which I mean every person who...

    SMH Article on Paper 2

    Schroedinger, it's lax attitudes like yours that let people like this wander the streets after their lobotomy. Attitudes like those let Hitler into the world. Just think how many less people would have died OVERALL if we just killed anyone who grew a small neat moustache. And, after all, chances...

    SMH Article on Paper 2

    SGB...The accident of your having discovered this particular thread - by, it appears, clicking randomly at the screen and going, "aah" - is offset stunningly by the accident of your birth. Like an open sewer next to a Macdonalds, the two seem fated to be. That said. Shut the flying fuck UP.

    Do the markers mind if you establish a critic's opinion in order to make a contrast with your own? :P

    Paper 2 - Yeats - help needed

    The autobiographical sounds like the awesome version of the Feminist, because it lacks the high levels of suckitude present in Feminist readings. I'd go the autobiographical, in conjuntion with Practical Criticism.

    Paper 2 - Yeats - help needed

    I'd suggest that, no matter what readings you use, you follow this routine. Establish the reading BY USING THE SPECIFIC INTERPRETATIONS FROM THE TEXT THAT THE READING MAKES, AND STATING THE PERSPECTIVE THE READING TAKES. So, in some readings, context plays a part and you discuss it. In the...

    Paper 2 - Yeats - help needed

    Fair enough. Well, in general I would recommend this for your essay. For each poem (treat each separately, the point of this module isn't to make comparisons between texts), begin with an analysis using a reading or a critic's opinion. I'd usually use a reading I pretty much agree with, or...
