From my understanding, basically a combination of integrity+personal morals.

oh I am so cooked

 

[Ejitt]

oh I am so cooked

I reckon (I hope) you could get away without needing to go on about what the human spirit it... just have a yap abt how [ELEMENT OF SOCIETY] attacks it, but it ultimately prevails

 

[Ejitt]

NESA be out here talkin bout how the 'human spirit endures' before turning around and crushing it with paper 2 tmr, mark my words

poem about change I talked about how at the start he was like depressed and used negative connotations and stuff and than shifted into a hopeful person at the end idek

Nah it's the opposite the "night" connotated despondency thus revealing the paradoxical fleetingness of change

my money is on change bringing introspection, dawn came later, he saw his reflection cos it was still dark, he saw into himself --> external change is symbiotic with internal change

... but also nothing too diabolical

no comparisons, nothing above 5 marks. Everything felt very middle-of-the-road difficulty

for me it was hard to find the techniques and even the meaning of some texts

for me it was hard to find the techniques and even the meaning of some texts

that's so fair. I just kinda had a quick squiz, invented a meaning on the spot 'because the meaning of a text is multiplicitous and subjective', picked whatever quote i wanted to make my point, then bs'd a technique, 'vivid imagery' gonna carry my ATAR

the essay question was pretty chill for me but some of the short answers were wild. had a major brain blank on q3 deciding to talk about structure as my reasoning for some reason and q4 was bad imo. the rest weren't terrible, just not great either

its only 4 marks itll be fine
interpretation is high level enough
doesnt matter if its right js gotta answer the question

 

[Ejitt]

HELP! What do I do if Mod C is a persuasive/discursive only?? Any formulas/structures I can follow?

my plan is to turn the core of my creative into a discursive, ive heard it said you need both sides, so ill probably do a paragraph or two on one, then switch to the other side, and try and have a stron unifying conclusion

surely they dont for back to back years...

Honestly best advice I can give (coming from a flat 75 student tbh) is to write about something that you're interested in that incorporates the prompt somehow.

yeah, the plan was just to bs my way into a high level intepreation and then stick to it

 

[yaveen]
