Re: The Poem Was About A Dog?

if you didn't know what an extended metaphor was then i would question what you've been doing in school for the past 6 years

tom.... case in point - in our half yearlies we were asked what the "a factor" was, and everyone that interpreted it wrong did not get full marks no matter how well you supported you claim

it's a 3 mark question, if you thought it was a dog but supported your argument you will get 2 for techniques and 0 for "what reflections"

Don't know if this was directed at me or just in general, but if so i already said that i used that in my answer.

So yeah i know what it is, i wasn't just guessing.

Edit: forgot to reply to your answer XD

A factor is set in stone, you cant really interpret that. Its like interpeting an object. But a poem has many varied interpretations, so you can't really compare the two.

share my view on the marking thing?

it's not really my view, it's just how it's done... as soon as you say dog you're already in the mediocore pile (for that question). it's the sad fact of the hsc,

you do not mark hsc. i do not agree with you, that is it.

 

[nirvanafreak02]

Re: The Poem Was About A Dog?

no but i know how the hsc is marked because my teachers mark it, this is what we were told before and after the exam.... if you didn't say it was a dog then it shouldnt affect you anyway, but like i said it's just 3 marks

@Nirvana

I did an edit on my last reply seeing as i forgot to reply to your actual answer, loLXD, but here it is anyway:

[nirvanafreak02]

Re: The Poem Was About A Dog?

i was referring to "a factor" in the text that we used.... there was some explanation of it in the text

you were told about how to answer a specific question before the exam what now?

EDIT- u no what fuck it, im not going to agree with you anyway.

Oh i see, but i still think its too situational to compare, but to each his own.

i can't remember what i wrote, but i was implying a type of question ie comprehension ones

yeah we're pretty much set in stone in what we believe


out of curiousity what school do you go to?

each his own.

agreed.

Re: The Poem Was About A Dog?

Extended metaphor of what? Don't just tell me its an extended metaphor...my teachers would tackle you.

Re: The Poem Was About A Dog?

Its not an essay, it does not require you to fully understand every aspect of the text, just the specific part it asks for. If the reflections are from a dogs point of veiw, but they are still damn good reflection responses, i see no reason why they shouldnt get full marks. Texts can be interpreted very differently, people are still arguing about shit like this with hamlet.

No, they're not. The poem was not from a dog's perspective. It was from a human's perspective, who used the metaphor of being a dog in some brief parts to enhance how he perceived the new Darwin.
