Poll: which stimulus text? (1 Viewer)

[silvermoon]

so, what texts from the stimulus booklet are u guys focusing on? im a goin for Atwoods poem myself

 

[Old_Sk3wl]

Geok-lin Lim, The Town Where Time Stands Still is pretty good... can make lotsa meaning and read really deep into it

 

[silvermoon]

so, no1 yet is doing blood on the tracks...i h8ed dat one, only so much u can say bout it really. poems etc, are easier coz u can go in2 so much existentialist type crap.

 

[vegetable-mania]

hey? can't u do two? like im doing:

Robert Frost: The road not taken
and
Victor Kelleher: The Ivory Trail

or is that not allowes?

 

[malkin86]

Watch out with The Ivory Trail, cause Kelleher didn't actually compose the cover - it was some other person, I'm not sure whom.

 

[ToO LaZy ^*]

the geok-lin lim one.
its easy to remember; quotes wise..

 

[steph@nie]

Frost- it rhymes and its easy to quote, easy to relate to anything.

 

[Lorie]

i find the journey to the interior the best text for imaginative jounreys

usually in the question for the extended response they'll say: discuss your prescribed text, one text from the stimulus booklet and at least one text of your own choosing (ie, found text). this doesnt mean you ahve to do only one stimulus booklet text, but you should probably focus in on one, even if you want to make references, where relevant to other texts.

Journey's over land and sea - Smithsonian
cover the enter Physical Journey's aspect and also a bit of imaginative

 

[Misturi]

The not not taken

the ivory trail

journey to the interior.

frost, atwood and walker. before my trial, i did jackall study cos i was concentrating on my modern exam which was on the same day. so i had to do my journeys texts from memory. i found those three the easiest to remember. atwood is really good cos it's so bloody vague, u can twist it around anything you want to say.

Journey into the Interior - INNER JOURNEY

It's like, the absolute best one...

hope you guys up there ^^^ know that you only *need* to know one in detail... although the more the merrier...

 

[jhakka]

The Town Where Time Stands Still.

 

[beccabum]

wind in the willows is really good for the different reasons people go on journeys, or at least i think so. It fits in well with physical journeys + huck finn

The Town Where Time Stands Still is pretty good too, easy to remember but doesn't fit that well

this is true, but it never hurts to know more than one - just in case the one you picked won't fit in very well with the question they ask. or, alternatively, they have occassionally asked for students to pick a piece from the stimulus booklet as the basis for a creative piece in section 2 - the more you know, the bigger the range of ideas you have to choose from.

TTWTSS- what's worse is that not only the title is long, but the authors name is really long

totally agree. h8ted blood on d tracks. frost is my 2nd choice, last resort is ivory trail. the visual text is good, easy to remember.

Go MHS mafia

Blood on the tracks is too stupid. I probably should do journey over land and sea cause were doing physical but... meh.
