okay for whose reality i wrote a piece that i had planned out and wrote a few times, exam comes and i did not consider the prompt i did not no how to change in in the time that i had, after the exam i figured out how to =.=

but i still wrote my pre memorised one, so if it was a good sophisocated piece, great control but it in no way adressed the prompt, what is the highest i am looking at, 6/10..?

I thought the Whose Reality? prompt was fair, easier than some of the previous VCAA one imo. Most of my friends went with a straight expos piece, I went with a imag/expos hybrid myself.

Really interesting in how a lot of people thought "Shared Experience," as an easy topic :) I must be a retard, nevertheless I wrote something :) even if it was scribble

About Philosophy

When I see a youth thus engaged,—the study appears to me to be in character, and becoming a man of liberal education, and him who neglects philosophy I regard as an inferior man, who will never aspire to anything great or noble. But if I see him continuing the study in later life, and not leaving off, I should like to beat him - Callicle

bullshitted my way through conflict... :D i think i did okay...but if i were the assessors, i'd give it 0:(

It can't get a 0 if you've actually written something. My English teacher's an assessor and if you write three lines or a paragraph you get a 1 or a 2.

Conflict was beautiful, compromise could be interpreted so many ways :)
What book did you use though? The prompt was absolutely horrendous for "The Crucible".

All depends on your language. If you were addressing the prompt and getting really high 9's, almost 10s, you could possibly scrape a 7 because of your language

Although the identity and belong prompt was rather vague, it seemed to be rather malleable to work into a creative piece. I did it in a dear diary format about this person who had just moved house and town... I can only remember one quote and it was:

"As I like to see it, life resembles a jigsaw in which we are all constantly attempting to find out place, trying again and again to work our where our piece fits. The only difference between me and 'them' is that I know where my piece belongs in this puzzle."

I just hope I manage to get a decent mark for the entire piece...

I hate our school for not doing identity and belonging. I think it is the same every year. Also, encouraging conflict sucked. I had a list of 98 prompts and that wasn't one of them. Absolutely bullfighter my way through the whole essay. Hopefully 8/9
