other than the 2 related texts (fuck me dead) and the story being only 2 pages i think it wasnt too bad. the questions weren't a prob

What do you mean by 2 related texts? They only asked for one didnt they? Or do you mean from section 1?

I think i did pretty well, creative could have been better but it's still pretty decent i think.
Overall, 8, 10, 8 pages.
Up to the markers now.

the section three didnt fit our prescribed text at all.
it was way to specific and left no room.
i though the creative was average. having to be positive relationships so that was awful and section one was good.

What were the questions for sections 2 and 3?
Question 2
"Human beings, like plants, grow in the soil of acceptance, not in the atmosphere of rejection."

"When someone prizes us just as we are, he or she confirms our existence."

Drawing on the ideas in ONE of these quotations, write an imaginative piece that celebrates the ways relationships contribute to a sense of belonging.

Question 3.
Understanding nourishes belonging... a lack of understanding prevents it.

Demonstrate how your prescribed text and ONE other related text of your own choosing represent this interpretation of belonging.
