@s9a is this better <3

One’s perception of the world is subject to change over time. Eliot’s poetry is no different, transforming over time to reflect his current state of mind on critical modernist opinions, most notably, his depictions of spirituality and man’s connection to himself. Thus, this statement is true to a large extent, as seen in Eliot’s contrasting poems, “The Hollow Men” and “Journey of the Magi”, which demonstrate starkly different representations of the subject matter of spirituality. “The Hollow Men”, which conveys Eliot’s post-WW2 depression and lack of hope, depicts a world void of spirituality and connection, suggesting that man is trapped within a hopeless reality. On the other hand, the more optimistic “Journey of the Magi” demonstrates how by finding spirituality, the individual is able to transcend the physical constraints of the modern world to find a better purpose. Evidently, by framing different opinions throughout his changing poetic repertoire, Eliot’s poetic style and approach on critical subject matters change over time.

predicting atars for people
@synthesisFR 99.3
@carrotsss 99.75
@Masaken somewhere in 99s
@SadCeliac high 98
others idk
also I highly doubt I’d get 99.75 at this point, maths/chem are good (unless I screw up they are 99.95 equiv based on trials) but English and esp physics are a problem rn, and I’ve also been doing way less work than I should’ve lately

tbf I only need an 80 ATAR for my course anyway 😭

what did I do wrong bro I just thought that was a good segway starting line 😭
pls don't do that, that is cringe (genuinely from an english marker's viewpoint), there's no point to introduce a random text you don't know that much about - it wastes time

i'd say start your essay with a very strong thesis - the thesis is the marker's first impression of ur essay (you can either memorise one and adapt in the exam or just have a basic idea then make it up in the exam), so for the above q directly answer the question with the already good ideas you have in your intro (eg. Examining the [thematic? just put an adjective here that's relevant] transformation of Eliot's poetry allows for valuable insights on [introduce idea, probably Modernism and spirituality here], through which [blah] is revealed.)

also since it's an evaluate question i'd say use evaluative language for the funsies like Eliot effectively [blah], etc.
