Accidentally left this practice essay at the last minute and I don't know how to deconstruct it (It's due tomorrow afternoon!!)

The question is 'Any significant discovery has both short and long term effects. To what extent is this view reflected in your prescribed text and ONE other related text of your own choosing?'

Not entirely sure what to put down for short term effects. My prescribed text is Away by Michael Gow.
Thanks!

ooh yay i also do away! i can't seem to think of any short-term effects of discovery because everything in away is long-term... it all has an impact for later. orrrrrr you could argue against the question! away is all about long-term effects of discovery, so you can say the short-term effects lead to the long-term, e.g. the box motif (gwen) and the stranger on the shore play, which was created as a result of tom and coral's discovery.

Hey! I don't do your PT so can't help you on that part. Be sure to link to the question throughout your essay. In the intro, you could say sth like "This is explored to a great extent in PT and ORT". Think about discovery in terms of the rubric; was it physical/emotional/intellectual/creative/spiritual? Maybe the short term and long term effects were different in terms of those aspects.

Hope this helps

I also have a Mod C essay due tmr that I haven't started

Hey! Unfortunately I don't know the text well enough - but are you referring to the book or film? And, can you tell me a bit more about the theme of dread? I haven't seen this explored before! Are you looking for perspectives like, people dreading going into a camp?

Hi there Maybe I Am Malala? This explores a lot of interactions with environments. I also remember someone a long time ago recommending the song 99 Red Balloons by Nena.

The short term effects could just be the initial stages of realising the long term effects. So, someone might become erratic in discussions about perspectives, or someone might start to show a little more humility. This leads into the later long term effect of altering perspectives and views about the greater society.

Is it better for a mod c exploring transitions essay to have a thesis based on the first part of the elective i.e. context, or have a thesis based on the transitions? Are there questions which would expect you to answer based on  context more than transitioning/vice versa?

[Daniyahasan]

What module/prescribed text?

My pt is the film Billy Elliot

I think it really depends on the question - They could bring context/place in society into a question, absolutely. But transitions are always going to play some sort of role, so a Thesis focusing on transitions is probably going to be a safer option! Just make sure you have had practice integrating that contextual element as well

Remember that your analysis should always be TEA:

Technique: What visual technique has been used by the composer?
Explain: Why has the composer used it?
Audience: What new understanding does the audience gain, how does the audience react?

I don't know what sort of analysis you would be doing in VA, but if you have these things and no more no less, then you are analysing correctly!
