[ngabe]

I thought there was one? On the image?

The second image above the shopping cart.

The second image above the shopping cart.

haha whoops, at least it's good to know i won't get penalised for missing something like that out LOL.

I thought there was one? On the image?

It didn't seem rhetorical to me at the time. I thought rhetorical questions imply that the answer is obvious, where as the one on the image didn't really have a definite answer in the question. It's sort of provoking us to think "what price"?

I could be wrong, but it wasn't rhetorical worthy for my rhetorical standards.

Didn't click as rhetorical for me either. I said something along the lines of an open question that provoked something out of the reader and then I went on with the connotation of 'price'.

[ashs_vb]

Did anyone talk about the reader being anonymous? I said it was a paradox where you are meant to feel distant from te writer itself due to the omission, but it has the converse effect, implying that the writer is known well enough for the reader to not need his name blah blah. Creates a sense of familiarity when it shouldn't

How did everyone structure their pieces?

mine was so all over the place, analysed the first image twice in two different body paragraphs lol

[lala1911]

Oh, what did you think of the headline? I was a a bit stuck.

[Damoz.G]

Oh, what did you think of the headline? I was a a bit stuck.

It was a bit weird to be honest. I was gonna try and link it to the old railway line site by saying that a community garden would help, but then I thought that it would be too general or my opinion, so I didn't discuss the title. =/

[Alwin]

Oh, what did you think of the headline? I was a a bit stuck.

I wrote that it was a metaphor lol. "back on the rails" since the area used to be a railway or something. And something about "slowly" like things growing or some BS like that HAHA

[unfamila]

I used three body paragraphs.
1- The garden groups asserts that change is needed.
2- They depict that gardens are commonplace in society-queen WW2
3- The benefits of gardens

 I had no idea about the tone, so i just said it was vehement/passionate. 

[s.ay]

Is it bad that I used the collective 'writers' and 'the group' throughout? Completely missed the part where it was observed that he was singular and indeed male gah. Should I be worried, or is it okay due to consistency?

[xenial]

I said the tone moved to one of conviction later in the piece - as for the first half of the piece, I just said they employed a 'personal approach to the rhetoric', using a lot of anecdotal evidence lol.

Sort of pooped the LA. Come on context. Save my mark for me

Look, they aren't going to slice up your exam and give you a zero.  You will certainly not lose a mark for something so insignificant given the nature of the piece!

[brenden]

Things that don't mean shit to the examiners:
-the gender of the writer
-the gender of whoever is in the photograph
-what you call the writer, so long as it isn't "the motherfucker who wrote the piece"
-whether you forgot to analyse that tiny bit of inclusive language in the middle


What the examiners care about:
-Quality of analysis and writing.
