Literature

[MBBS]

It's hard to say - passages that haven't been on exams before of course.
But they could have anything to do with anything, really.
The VCAA just doesn't choose random passages, though, so in my opinion you're better off choosing a few 'significant' moments or those with themes you can see relatively easily - at least at this stage.

Do you mean how many of the three you have should you include?  All three, I say.  I usually tell students to focus more entirely on two, and then just refer to the third (the third being the least relevant to your thread, or your contention).

Oh god, books to read!  It's been a while since I've had a chance to read a book that wasn't on the Literature and Performance list, and they were all great classics by Dickens and Austen.
My favourite author is too contemporary for the Lit exam though, which makes recommendations difficult.  However I love Jane Eyre, but most everyone has read that (I think?).  If you haven't, read Jane Eyre!
Classic literature is good - I want to read more EM Forster stuff when I have the chance, and perhaps a little more Dickens although I did find Great Expectations a little draining because of how long it was and how I had a week to read it.

If you want to read plays, read or view Ibsen plays, but that is kind of similar to Chekhov so it wouldn't be broadening your horizons toooo far.

If I do a few practise essays on this current book, would you be able to look at them and just e-mail me what are my main problems? I have never even wrote a close analysis on 3 passages at once, we've only ever done two and you didn't even have to find correlations between them. FWIW nobody from my school has got above 40 in Literature in the last 2 years, says something about the Language Faculty...

Dw that was what it was like at my school too.
And then last year my friend got a 50.
They all thought it was her teaching, and so did the teacher.
But we all knew we were just more awesome than any other cohort.

Anyway, sure you can!  Depending on when sent I can't promise speedy return due to assessments, but I will try

I have to say, I care a lot about school, my lifestyle at the moment gyrates around getting into the MBBS course at Monash. I really admire the help you people offer and how friendly you all are! I expected nothing near the level of interest and willingness to help you guys all posses!

Thank-you so much!

I've just finished Hemingway's 'The Old man and the Sea.' Can anyone who's read it please recommend two pages to write a close analysis on?

Thankyou
