GAT- what did you guys write?

[intox.mush]

Hey what did you guys write in the written responses? for the diamond one i wrote about the social and economic implications in regards to diamonds and with the heroes one i wrote something about Jimi Hendrix, it was ridiculous, by the second hour i was falling asleep but the old lady kept waking me up because she walking around like she was picking a bunch of daises, she was zoned out.

[elizadownie]

for the diamond one i just systematically wrote about each resource and for the other one i was soo lazy that i just put down anything i could think of, pretty much reinforcing what was already written in the boxes..lol
i found some of the multiple choice really random..like those ones at the end with the images..wtf  :idiot2:
we were allowed to leave wen we were done and i finished it with 45 mins spare

I played it safe on the essays. For the diamond one I explained the process of how diamond is mined and prepared for retail, explaining along the way the main producers, difference in amount produced with value, and ended with a paragraph on socioindustrial benefits. I referenced the poem in my intro and used "Diamonds are a girl's best friend" in the concluding sentence.
In the heroes one I chose the topics of how heroes are human and some can be bad influences, but in the end they are necessary to our society. It was crap

And me! I expected most people to reference the lyrics in the intro/conclusion, however. Maybe I shouldn't have done it myself...

The diamond one - I covered absolutely everything they presented on that spread..I wrote a semi-humorous piece, and yes - I'm yet another person who referenced the lyrics in the conclusion!

The heroes essay - I RAMBLED lol. I integrated all but one of their prompts into my piece and went on and on about how each individual heroicises different people (except..I just realised that I almost certainly wrote "hero-ise" in inverted commas in the conclusion of my essay, because on the day I completely and utterly forgot that 'heroicise' exists as a word..LOL...I feel like a class idiot now..!)
