General Thoughts: English Advanced Paper 2 (Modules) (1 Viewer)

[Eddo003]

module a- br/ frankenstein was not too bad (touch wood)
module c- fiftieth gate, not too bad either (touch wood)

but module b- hamlet......... shiiit i had no idea!!! i just disagreed with it completely but found it hard to back up why.. ehh so hard for me, plus i was no where near finishing so i had to go the dot points!

Module A - 3.5 Pages - Challenging question for King Richard III and Looking for Richard Module B and C - 6 pages - Straightforward for Speeches and Ted Hughes - Fit my thesis well

The questions were all pretty good - I was so glad they didn't ask for some crazy text type like a speech or conversation or something.

The only thing I'm concerned about is the detail in some of my responses (mainly History and Memory). I tend to lose half of my quotes and arguments under pressure and this was the last essay. I only just finished it and had to cut one of my points short, but hopefully it went well enough.

Overall, it's done now and if I didn't do my best there's nothing I can do. In a year's time I'm not going to give a damn what mark I got for Advanced English in year 12.

i thought it was great , straight-forward and easy to approach for me.
i'm worried about Module B though... i disagreed with the question,yet my reasoning wasn't strong enough.

2.5 pages, 3.5 pages, 3 pages, think I did well. btw I write small so I dont see how many pages as particularly relevant. Didnt like that bloody Franky and BR one though.

 

[t0m91]

Relatively easy but time fucked me over. Hopefully I went well in this because I think I went poorly in belonging.

Module A: 7 pages - fuck I hate Richard III. I just made up all my techniques.
Module B: 9 pages - pretty sure I aced this..or came pretty close.
Module C: 8 pages- I thought 'provocative' meant sexy? EPIC FAIL.

I write fairly small as well, so was pretty impressed by my page-ness. Can't unclench my hand though. Shame, that.

 

[jessmooka]

i agree. 3 hours would be divine.
however i think it was a gr8 paper Frankenstein/BR was a stupid Q, but i think i handled it ok...
LOOOOOOVED hamlet, soo easy to talk about



history and memory can suck my metaphorical penis.
sorry september 11, that;s what i think of you.

3 hours would be way too long.

LOOOOOOVED hamlet, soo easy to talk about

as if man that whole loyalty shit threw me off none of my quote related to that question at all.

 

[freaky.styly]

Frankenstein and Blade Runner was fkn easy, Hamlet was slightly more of a pain, Hisory and memory was fine 6.5 5 5 fingers crossed band 6

Finally someone who didn't write like 8+ pages, like me

 

[raniaaa]

wellll during read time i was like omg crap ma these are all so specific but then i was able to answer them pretty well actually. definately suprised myself.. hopefully my marks reflect that

I agree with what was said a little earlier. Considering I was so stressed about the exam, I thought it went really well.

Mod A (Fr/Br): I hated the "disruption" part, but I still answered the question. I talked about nature in relation to disruption, and power and connections in relation to identity. I used most of prepared response. After the exam, I talked to my teacher and she said that it was a good approach. I wrote 8 pages. Expecting 17+.

Mod B (Hamlet): It was an alright question. Managed to use half of my prepared response, which was good. I talked about the various relationships with Hamlet, Claudius, Gertrude, Ophelia, Polonius, Ros & Gil, and Laertes. I really feel quite confident. I wrote 8 pages. Hopefully, I'll get 18+.

Mod C (The Justice Game): LOVED this question. Almost exactly the same thesis as my prepared response. I was really happy that they said "at least one". I had prepared two, but it made the prepared script 2000 words :S. Being able to cut one related text made it easy. Still, I wrote 11 pages, so I am extremely happy. I'm expecting at least 19/20 for this response.

Overall though, I am quite happy with the paper. Finished all three essays, but felt kinda rushed in the last 5 minutes. I am also very, very glad that it was three essays =]

Combining the two exams, I am expecting to get the best mark I have ever gotten! Woo!!!!

[alice09]

They don't call that the 'discriminator' for nothing!!
But I'm pretty happy with the amount i wrote 9.5|6.5|7
Mod A Woolf + Albee was ok , but my links were kinda tenous :S
Mod C was great for conflicting, i just needed moar time 2 do my damn conclusion
But Mod B for Hamlet was a bitch! I ended up all but abandoning my prepared theses and running out of time 4 conclusion again
I hope they don't take 2 many marks away for absent conclusions...

 

[CeeJaii]

Ehhhh........... Tbh Julius Caesar question on conflicting perspectives was horrible.

 

[penguin.ali]

the question in section 2 for speeches also, i thought was unfair... the significance of justice is NOT explored in all of those speeches!!! take margaret atwood's speech for example.... WTF!! i had paul keating's speech prepared, and that was more political based, and explored war and heroes more than freaking JUSTICE!

I agree. I got stumped by the whole "human experience" thing, most speeches do use it but very few use it to convey the significance of justice. I ended up using Pearson and Sadat, who kind of had those elements to their speeches.

What I really didn't like was the Frankenstein and Bladerunner essay, the texts deal mostly with the idea of humanity not bloody identity, I didn't write well for that one.

Oh well. I did about 18 pages all up, and I'm just happy its over
