Did anyone remember a creative and have to either ditch it/significantly change it so that it would incorporate communal belonging?

Sorry, this is probably incredibly obvious but... where is the scan of the paper from today? I can't find it!!

It's on it's own thread in the Paper One discussion section

Yes I had roughly memorised a creative but my main character chose not to belong, she was scared of belonging to the community so.... I had to change it around quite a bit. It was still helpful to have some nice descriptive phrases up my sleeve.
wbu? did you ditch it or change it?

I had to slightly change my creative

YES my hands were full sweaty and my pen grip got slippery
Had to change my pen half way. I wonder why I started sweating o.o

Shit happens.

 

[the_lebtalian]

That feeling when your palms and fingers start sweating and you can't write fast or neat

Haha yeah my paper had little smudges all over it, I feel sorry for whoever has to mark it it's so messy

I changed mine as well. But I still think I didn't refer to communities. Gosh, why communities out of everything they could of assessed us with, they choose "connections with communities". Bs.

 

[Retrosparkles]

If you talked about not belonging to a community for the creative would it matter?

I didn't have anything memorised, just a rough idea of a character and situation. Had to change the situation a lot, but could use the same scenario (it was about a man who had gone into retirement and felt like he didn't belong anywhere when he left work). Lucky I didn't spend any time developing the storyline and remembering it though, my idea for a plot had nothing to do with belonging to a community!

I know it was horrribbllee, especially since it didn't give you the much opportunity to write about not belonging (which was what I wanted to write about!) The question was a lot more prescriptive/specific than in the past imo

[Thank_You]

Looks like im not going to make TAFE at Bankstown, or any other TAFE. What's crapper than TAFE?

My aim was UNSW, but Randwick Tafe is pretty close, it's almost the same thing?

The essay however, was simply perfection and s1 was also great. That narrative was a nightmare come true lel. Anyways, gonna go head onto my work for tomorrow. Good luck guyshhh. Get some sleep too!

Tafe wouldn't even accept me...

Randwick Tafe is harder to get into!

Should be fine

That's not too bad, at least you didn't have to totally disregard it. Couldn't believe we got that specific a question as well as the stimulus!
