Title: Text Response: On the WaterFront need questions.
Post by: chopz on October 06, 2010, 04:51:27 pm: hey guys,

I've only got the insight 2010 questions for On the Waterfront, does anyone have any more exam questions for this text please.

It's the first year of this text, and i'm struggling to find a connection between school given topics and more exam based prompts for "On the Waterfront"

Please post your prompts and whether its from your school or a trial exam paper, thankyou! :)

Post by: Souljette_93 on October 06, 2010, 05:00:11 pm: heys i have heaps; i'll give the trial one's for now and later if i have time i'll upload the normal ones we got at school.

"Terry Malloy must overcome his own fears first before he overcomes the corruption of the waterfront" -TSSM

"The Use of black and white film in On the Waterfront helps to emphasise the moral ambiguities of the issues that the film addresses" -TSSM

"Edie asks, "Shouldn't everybody care about everybody else?" How does this film show that caring can be difficult?" -VATE

"The Settings in On the waterfront symbolise the struggle for fairness that the character's face" Discuss-VATE

I have insight as well, but seeming that you have it, i won't need to post it.

TC,

Post by: Souljette_93 on October 06, 2010, 05:03:47 pm: Oh and i have CSE as well:

"On the waterfront is a powerful piece of cinema,a classic study of man's responsibility for his fellow man" How does the film convey this message?

"My favourite scenes in the film are the love scenes between MArlon and Eva Maria Saint..it was during these most tender moments that Marlon enlisted the audience in his favour" Elia Kazan 'Making on the waterfront'

Do you share Kazan's views?

I can try..
I think it is better is you tell me what you are looking for ( Text response, Context Prompt , Language Analysis) only reasons being that aside from CSE 2010, my teacher has summarised all of the english prompts that relate to what we did ( my school ) on a sheet.

so the only one's i have is for Year of Wonders, On the Waterfront, Encountering conflict and of course language analysis.
Sorry.

TC,

Title: Re: Text Response: On the WaterFront need questions.

but if there is anything i have that i can help you with, just let me know. ( i.e. scanning the language Analysis)

Post by: chopz on October 06, 2010, 07:33:46 pm: souljette, which one are you most likely to do Waterfront or Years of Wonders?
Title: Re: Text Response: On the WaterFront need questions.
Post by: Harsha on October 06, 2010, 07:38:38 pm: Oh ok
is it alright if you provide me with the:
Text Response: A Man for all Seasons questions
Context: Identity and Belonging
and the Language Analysis (if it's not such a hassle for you)
is all the trial exams 2010?
also don't worry about the CSE trial, we did it at school (: so I don't need any questions from that or the language analysis in that trial
thanks so much!

Yeah i agree. if i was doing it i would have found them hard.

Abdi what context you doing? i assume Encountering conflict?

Anyway here is the q's that i have CSE 2010:

"Pi realizes that survival depends on knowing when to assert oneself and when to hold back" Discuss.

" At the rate you're going, if you go to temple on Thursday, mosque on Friday, synagogue on Saturday and Church on Sunday; you need to convert to three more religions to be on holiday for the rest of your life"

According to the Life Pi, religions and zoos are both steeped in illusion.
Discuss the impact of the illusions that this book presents

i can't attach the files for some reason. it gives me an error sign and won't let me upload anything :/ if someone cas fix the problem then it would be really good.
