LOL
I barely referred to my stimulus. My creative writing was classical, and I just incorporated forensic things from the stimulus along the way.
It was a "hybrid" disaster lmao.
Essay was fine, but then again easy question = high standard.

yeah i know
thought the essay question was very genralised and i know it was very superficial with raising the points
the story was ok, but i needed more time. i hope i referred to the pictures enough. but how would they know what 'idea' you drew from it. peoples minds are very imaginative and CRAZY...

The essay question was much nicer then expected. I looked at how a society influences the methods of its crime solvers in unravelling mysteries.
The story rocked my socks! I used the idea of the forensic side of policing being "bullshit", and making my detective the old fashioned, hardboiled, get in there and cause shit approach.

Essay question was pretty much a conventions question, so no real big surprise there.
Creative, lol, what a joke. I went in nervous that I'd have to adapt my creative heaps than I didn't have to end up adapting it all.
@ people saying it was an easy question hence a high average, apparently guys doing post-mod and retreat, and I'm not sure about the others, thought it was hard. Looks like us CF kids are in with some luck.

I don't think I did too well now.
I interpreted 'angles' to mean the perspective of people like the detective and ehh...
I think conventions flew out the window.
Didn't really like the essay.
Story was okay though.. Except didn't quite finish.

Essay- Dont think it could of been easier, as diversification is what the whole thing is about....
Story- broad question, i think most people could easily adapt that stuff into the story, i had a hard boiled one prepared so it wasnt too hard...
finally, some time off, i just finished my 4 exams in 4days spell!

Thought it was pretty straightfoward. Question was open to diferent conforming/subverting texts, suited my thesis well.
Don't know if I did anything with it though. 11 pages, PB in the HSC so gotta be happy with that.
Creative was again very open. Didn't do well.
Thought it catered to basically anyone's thesis, so you'd have to do really well to stand out or recive that precious 21-25.
But its OVER!

I just wrote my story as it was. the detective figure represented the 'idea' of forensics and deduction of facts...patty4848 said:

I thought it was a great paper, probably couldnt have asked for better. 
And to a those people worrying about length, roughly 10 pages each question is a great response according to Karen Yager.
The creative was so good, you could write about anything.
So happy

As i said there was no one interpretation of the question - Your interpretation is on the money as well as the ones who took it other ways. that's what i didn't like about the essay, the fact that it could be interpreted in a few different ways. as long as you were able to justify it and actually comment on the conventions of the genre throughout, because that was part of the marking criteria, you'll do fine.jcsmith said:
I wrote 16 pages for the essay and 18 for the creative...
Whay are people saying that the creative was easy?!?!?! I HATED IT! It was very partial to those who had planned a hardboiled-forensic allegory but for me, who had planned a cosy-parody, it was horrible! Anyone in the same predicament?
The essay question was a bit odd... I like the broad nature because it allowed for philosophical and sociological questioning. I'm hoping that my bigs words impress, total lol... I focued on how the crime genre was an exponent of society's emotiothough processes and the value placed on the human condition.
Here's hoping that the essay makes up for the story! Eeep.
