You sound nervous. Worry not, my luck is so bad that simply by me saying that I hate "ZOMG RICH GREEDY PIGS" topics, I am making the chances more likely...
(I like structure style topics...but only cause my practice one felt like my best essay ever..)

history has shown that the more bullshit you make up, and the better you are at making bullshit up than actual fact will allow you to gain more... ask hitler.

Start breaking in my liver for schoolies...
But seriously, 5 minutes after chemistry I'll be Putting the keys in the ignition of my X trail, loaded with my Downhill bike and gear, about to head off to the nearest mountain to punch out runs all afternoon :smitten:
Then returning home to an esky which I will have left by the pool containing one singular James Squire Amber ale compacted in ice.
I will proceed to drink said beer whilst contemplating my future.

i dont think they are allowed to give 2 structural essays..
-
Its VCAA, those bitches make the rules....
I think were actually allowed to complain to the coordinators (supervisors) if we get two structures its against VCAA rules.
-
1. Panic like shit, do LA and make up some bs for context. Then I'll probably spend 20 mins doing nothing and watching everyone else writing like mad, making myself cry on the inside. Then I'll go on to make the worst 500 word text response in history.
2. Throw my pens on the table, lean on my chair and casually read over my piece of shit essays. Then when we get out I'll pick up one of my friends and run around like crazy, go to the gym for 2 hours then go home and burn my english books.
-
I think I'm actually going to burn my english books.
Not the ones I can sell of course...

hmmmm for the VATE exam, both were structural feature essays and teh iartv/cse paper was also effectively two structural feature essays....
-
do excuse my ignorance (and stupidity)
but what do you mean by 'structural?'
im not sure if ive written a structural essay all year? :S
-
I don't think I know what a structural topic is either =(
-
Structural is where you have to talk about costumes, staging, how the text has been designed to achieve something
-
Structural refers to the linguistic techniques used by the author to accomplish things (e.g. use of tone.)
Example I did: How does the playwright [Shakespeare] depict Richard as a flawed figure who nevertheless gains our sympathy?
I'm actually hoping I get one for Richard III...
Edit: And yeah, structural good include stage directions but probably not costumes as those vary by production. Basically, structure is like language analysis.
-
I suppose it depends what novel/play it is. For A Man For All Seasons, costume is important but yeah. :)
-
oh no wonder why i never did one, im doing text response on a novel.. PHEW!
-

What?
I have no idea about the costuming in AMFAS at all?
-
yeah it's about how the author/playwright/director constructs meaning thought language/filmic techniques
e.g. characterisation/language features/ setting/ symbols/ structure.
It's one of the doptopints of the study design....
oh no wonder why i never did one, im doing text response on a novel.. PHEW!
you get them in novels as well...... i mean the author has to construct meaning somehow right?
-
The Common Man's outfits... and the Costumes section in the front. There isn't much, but they're still costumes.
-
any topic that starts with 'how' is a structural features essay
-
I hope that there's a structural question for LBW. Apparently there's usually one every year, and that's basically all I studied for the film. Fingers-crossed
*prays*
-
The Common Man's outfits... and the Costumes section in the front. There isn't much, but they're still costumes.
Ah of course, forgot about that..
And in the front doesn't it say the costumes are predominantly a matter for the designer?

King in "cloth of gold" symoblism of wealth and power I guess. Rich's gain in wealth embodied through his gain of a "nice gown" and the opposite for More.
I dunno, it isn't really major. Lighting and scene changes are the important things
-
1. Get annoyed.
2. Have a good laugh at the guys who have exams after me.
-
Yeah, it does, but it provide some insight as to how readers should imagine the characters eg pinstripe for the administrators Rich and Cromwell.
Lighting and scene changes are the important things
Exactly
-
Lighting and scene changes are the important things
No. Don't say that!
The only thing I can think of for scene changes is that Henry goes up to some flowers which are coming down as a back drop or something =|
I hope you're joking ...

O...I thought structural was like...stage directions amd film techniques =X
-
Well things like at the end where More is positioned away from the others, with black lighting, could be interpreted as demonstrating the moral separation of the characters.
-
Isn't structural like: rising action, climax, denouement etc?

Yes, they are some structural features, but there are more that ahve already been listed in the thread

that's structure whihc again is ONE example of a structural feature again refer to the others that ahve been mentioned in the thread

A few which I think are of importance:
-"Trappings of justice are flown upwards" suggesting that there's no more justice in da house and shiz.
-"leaving more isolated in light" after he is called by Cromwell, suggests his uniqueness in the society.
-I especially like how when more is about to get executed he is walking up a staircase where the light present at the head of staircase is "dazzlingly brilliant" symbolising him ascending to a spiritual reward.
there's more lol
-
The question won't be on that though, so it's all good.
And even if there is, it'll only be one...
-
But you can use them in your essay!
e.g to highlight how Bolt presents More as admirable, he uses the dazzling light at the staircase (symbolises a better place) although he is on his way to get beheaded!
