English: Ask Me Anything

[Alwin]

Thanks guys! Mostly for something like:
Despite the violence in 'Ransom' the reader is left with a sense of optimism. Discuss.
When discussing authorial intent, it feels a bit like LA sometimes with effect on reader =\

Also, any nice ideas for world examples for whose reality?

1. Authorial intend, I often use the phrase "characters X, Y, Z is the author's comment on society/humanity and their actions / realisations / epiphanies are tinged with A, B, C" then explain, give examples, etc etc
Or, if I feel a structure bp is needed, then "by using <blah blah blah structual techniques> the author gives a sense of <something>
But I agree, sometimes it does sound a bit like an LA to me too, so I try to talk about deeper themes, character changes and structure

btw I found this for you http://www.vcestudyguides.com/guides/text_response/ransom

2. You know I write creative so I'll let someone else answer this Of the top of my head... very little you probs dunno already

This one is kind of useful too http://www.vcestudyguides.com/guides/context/whose-reality/additional-reading

What should you do for text response, if you don't have a relevant quote for the idea you need to talk about in an argument?

[Colokid]

Help!!!

In LA, should I analyses the visual by itself in its own BP, or should i  incorporate when i am analysing key ideas of the text?

Can you introduce the supporting visual in the introduction, through stating something like, through the supporting visual depicting xxx, thus intends to support the notion/contention.??

Help!!!

Should always try and link it to the Article(s).

[Colokid]

thanks damoz, how many quotes do you think we should use max in section B?

[Damoz.G]

thanks damoz, how many quotes do you think we should use max in section B?

It depends on how effectively you explain them in your piece.

Do you mean quotes from your text or from people in the external world? Or both?

[Colokid]

i mean quotes about conflict from famous people to use to support my abstract writing

For my text essay I am doing The War Poems by Wilfren Owen. Is it possible that they will ask me a question specifically about a poem? Or am I safe to just memorise quotes from 3-4 random poems?

Any tips on how to do LA faster? I normally take 10 mins at the start just to annotate everything..

Cheers

For an expos. essay for Context, better to explore one side in depth or have a 'but' idea which sorta contradicts and undermines your contention?
Thanks!

Yep!

Hi hello!!

For a context expository piece, would it be okay to draw on the studied text only once and have two points from current/historical events ?

Defs!

If we're looking to talk about recent issues in our context piece, such as the ongoing conflict in Syria or the recent government shutdown in the US, do we need to include specific quotes about the issue?

Nope, you can discuss it generally.

Thanks Heaps!! And btw, would you recommend opening your conflict essay for section B with a general conflict quote from a famous figure, such as Abraham Lincoln?

It's up to you - do it if you want!

What is the best way to study for text response in the next 5 hours?
I have 4 essays written up but I can't seem to memorise them.
I don't want to memorise word for word because it will take too long and I'll be screwed if I forget something in the exam.


Thanks!

Reread plans, think about the text, look at quotes!  Sleep!

Probably not - do a few poems!

Just write!  Get right into it - even if your response is shorter though, as long as the analysis is good, you'll be fine
