How to Write an Area of Study Essay

[jamonwindeyer]

Is it ok to talk about 1 character in depth or is it better to talk about 2?

Either are fine provided you get a good amount of analysis in!!

For the AOS essay, whenever i write 'human condition', my teacher asks me to explain it further. I don't understand how to explain that? How do i make it more specific?

Hey! So the definition of human condition: The characteristics, key events, and situations which compose the essentials of human existence, such as birth, growth, emotionality, aspiration, conflict, and mortality.[/i]

So when you are exploring aspects of the human condition, you need to be specific what aspects of the human condition you mean. Inherent human desires; greed, ambition? Commentary on mortality and the nature of existence?

Essentially, the human condition encompasses anything to do with being human, you will need to hone in on exactly what aspect of our humanity you are talking about

Hi all
I just wrote a practice essay for Discovery with Robert Frost, and I do not feel good about it. I feel like I haven't written enough, that it was messy, and not as coherent as an essay would be if I'd have several days to do it (obviously). I had trouble creating a thesis and sub-points that actually worked with the Q (it was about rediscovering). Anyway, does anyone have tips for writing more, with more detail, in the couple of days that we have? I know, risky, but I want to be able to do my best with what I have

hey guys quick question, if we only have one paragraph for our related text can it still work (as in get a band 6) or do you need to have 2 paragraphs?
The reason is because my related in a sonnet and its so short that it's kinda difficult writing two paragraphs? Any thoughts?

Im sure you can spit out 2 paragraphs for an essay. Whats your essay called? I can easily write four paragraphs on 'In an Artists Studio'. If you tell me the name of your sonnet, I can help out! There also must be some analysis on the internet you can refer to!

With in an artists studio, If I was attacking it souly as an essay I would address my composers context and how different ideals appeared for her to write this. i would mention the similies, metaphors, imagery, personification, themes, form and a whole lot of more bullshit garbage. I would talk about the use of Opium at that time and how it distanced siblings and how she is an educated woman in a socially strict society have a negative effect on her poetry. Blah Blah Blah...

Yours is so good my friend. Talk about contexts (political, historical, social), form, audience, tone. Then get into the messy analysis. I have never read this poem and I am absolutely shit at english but Ill have a go.

Picked out in first 20 seconds:
"Apollo" Religious connotation for homer as greek mythology (metaphor/imagery)
"Planet swims into its Ken" (metaphor again)

There find some more...Sorry I dont have much ahah I am tryna memorise my essays. These links should help you heaps though:

Heyy, so my prescribed for AOS is Robert Frost poetry and we were told to do a minimum of two poems. I have two related texts one for each poem... is that too risky? coz last year's paper asked specifically for ONE

Hey! Absolutely, most people will just use three points anyway! Three paragraphs per essay is the most common configuration, so that is definitely more than fine

Hey alisa! Unfortunately the best answer is just practice, practice, practice; there is no set formula to writing in more detail or making your ideas more cohesive. You just need to keep doing it until those things happen naturally.

- Do lots of essay plans over the next couple of days to practice responding to questions
- Ensure you've got lots of techniques and quotes to draw from as your evidence

Beyond all, don't be afraid to really keep it simple. Your concepts for Discovery don't have to be super perceptive, conceptual things if you aren't there yet. Simple concepts like "Discovery is challenging," or "Discoveries can be unexpected," re-enforced by evidence, will still perform really, really really well and they are usually easier to organise in the context of an essay

Hey senara! If the questions asks for one specifically, that is what you need to do: You should practice linking each ORT to the other poem just in case you need to focus on just a single ORT! Not that if they say at least one then you are all set to go
