Context: How did you go?

[pi]

Awesome WR prompt, I used a piece that I wrote for my ASND SAC (nearly same prompt idea!) and got 4.5 pages in 40mins

Pleased with this section.

[xdecay]

i just hope that the examiners are able to see the thin link between the plot and the prompt...

They will, even if they don't get the topical links they will realise it's at least about being asian.

HAHAA. thank you.

Whose Reality guys
I wrote about
Shark Net - communism, ie. Robert Drewe joined the communist party as a teen, the experience of most people growing up back then was to fear the 'reds under the beds', he defied this fear and felt happy to join the communist party
Westboro Baptist church - children brought up in atmosphere of hate, some go against this and leave the family
1984 - talked about how winston rebelled against the government despite everyone living in essentially the same reality. shows the despite our similar experiences, we can all have different outcomes.

Ok it was wayyy better written in the exam than above obviously, and my links to the prompt were better; but can someone tell me if they think these are legitimate links and it looks ok? I know I shouldn't be stressing and just forget about it, but I am. It was the prompt that I'd least prepared for and I rushed it in about 45 mins.

Wait, did you use a text response text in context? :S

Good job! My english teacher was waiting outside and when we walked out he was literally beaming at the WR prompt saying that it was
almost made for our class to do.

ANYONE I NEED TO KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO I FORGOT TO WRITE THE NAME OF MY CONTEXT ON THE FRONT PAGE
i made no reference to the actual book so what am i going to do? do i have to call VCAA up or something? i didnt say it was "whose reality"

[HarveyD]

should be easy to guess if you wrote your novel used?

[Ghost!]

So... is the general consensus that today's Context prompts were easy!?!

Whose Reality was without a doubt one of the easiest prompts I have ever seen. Usually when writing a piece I consider sort of, seven factors maybe, that contribute to the construction of reality, and generally prompts about memory and illusion exclude the chance to discuss particular factors, but today, there was literally nothing I felt you couldn't discuss with the prompts.

Optimistically hoping for a 9 or 10 out of ten.

Call your school, find out when they send exams in, if not, yeah, I'd call VCAA.

Oh shit, was 1984 a text response? I studied Ransom + On the Waterfront.

whoops. i thought they got rid of that last year. oh well.


EDIT: no no just checked, it wasn't a text response for this year. thank godddddd

[VivaTequila]

yeah Whose Reality's prompt was garbage was very limited into the responses you could write about

i concur

it was more open than the 2008 one which was OBSCURE AS ALL HELL.

at least with this one you could take the reasons in which people have different realities off in many different directions

[Madic74]

same! completely disagreed;
use this quote by mary parker follet:


There are three ways of dealing with difference: domination, compromise, and integration. By domination only one side gets what it wants; by compromise neither side gets what it wants; by integration we find a way by which both sides may get what they wish.

kind of argued that we need to integrate and not compromise as we will compromise our morality, and not dominate either

mfw you did the whole of section B wrong, because the quote suggests no mutual agreement when two parties compromise.
and that's what it actually means.
enjoy your 0.
protip: get a better dictionary.

I wrote some stupid letter about a whiny kid writing to her imaginary friend for Identity and Belonging.

[FromBaghdadWithLove]

Identity and belonging promte was retarted, hated it.. just made a load of crap up about how i'm an orphan and how my freind is a relijious jew called david, and how he helps me and my connection to him and my friends is what keeps me going.//... ...
i thought the orphan idea will get me some remorse.:/
load of crap, absolutely untrue, stupid prompt, i hope vcaa goes to hell.

awomen.

[holyknight]

stupid whose reality, made my supposedly expository essay a persuasive one since it was so hard to say that the shared experiences can allow us to perceive things in the same way. what a dumb topic...

[Saur11]

The Whose Reality felt like it was designed for creative responses. Annoying for those who go for expository. In the end i discussed that while Blanche and Stanley shared the same environment (New Orleans) they still perceive different, i thought that worked to a degree. I am more concerned with my Stella and Stanley paragraph. Does anyone think that a marriage necessitates shared experiences? I pretty much discussed this for like a whole paragraph.
