VCE: Literature vs English Language.

[Surgeon]

Derrick Ha got 50 in English Language but got a 48 in mainstream English. Just putting that out there

English is too mainstream.

----> Aiming for a 99.95
----> Realise you need a 50 in an English subject
----> Probably won't get 50 in English, the subject of the gods.
----> Oooh I know! I'll get a 50 in English Language (the jealous, pre-pubescent brother of English)
----> Says I'll get a 38
----> GREAT SUCCESS

Then, I'll pose as a hipster, stating that English is "too mainstream" to mask my true intentions..


Smart, Thushan

Fixed.

I don't get it?

[pi]

I'm going to guess that he said he would get a 38, but of course got a 50?

So did you guys only take in one context essay for the exam?

Yeah

By 'take" I assume you meant memorise and/or know the general points of. I had 4.

[thushan]

WOW. english language is definitely not easier than english. i'm on stuggle street over here.... :S

See!? And Kaille I was there too dw, best I could say is try make your OWN models of how language works - and also the most important thing is good examples!

[Surgeon]

Vegemite, butter and cheese sandwiches are the best!

VivaTequila what form did you use? Wait I'm guessing expository right?

Yep. It was expository, but really, it's not your standard expository because it was creative as all hell - I am pretty confident that the examiner wouldn't have read another essay like it.

Intro: authors have reasons for writing novels - nothing happens by chance
Para 1: streetcar and williams and allan gray
Para 2: other book, author, exposition
Para 3: same as para 2 with new book
Para 4: same as para 2 with new book
Conclusion: authors always write to educate their audience to their qualms with society

I read the first post (nothing else) and it seems that you are really emphasising the difficulty of literature...
I do literature and not English. I am not a strong English student and I also hate reading. But I am still hoping for a 30-35 in literature. I hope I don't regret this choice...
