Title: David Malouf's Ransom help
Post by: T-Infinite on March 10, 2014, 06:40:36 pm
Hey guys!

So my teacher gave us a practice SAC prompt for us to do over the long weekends. Can someone please help clarify this prompt for me? as in give some points/ideas I could talk about. Also, I've read the novel during the holidays before school even started so I forgot a few things.

The prompt had a quote with it and I'm struggling to locate it.

'Look, he wants to shout, I am still here, but the I is different'. How does Priam change during the journey? Dicuss.

Any tips or ideas would be great, thanks :D


EDIT: Woops, I realised I posted this is the wrong section...should be in English &EAL instead of English Studies. Soz.

Seems like your quote/prompt is from last year's exam:

I haven't studied your text but thought it might be helpful to point out as the examiner's report may prove to be helpful :)

Oh, it was on last years exam! Thanks for pointing that out, I checked the examiner's report but unfortunately they didn't say anything about that text. Oh well! Thanks though :D
