Section C Discussion

[literally lauren]

Discussion for the Language Analysis here!

What did you all think? How'd you handle the comparative aspects? A copy of both speeches can be found here!

So apparently 'Mathew' only had one 't' in it....

LOL!
You wouldn't have been penalised It's convention to use the surname anyway, but it's not a big deal.

[laurarm]

It was so much better than last year's Section C!

Only con was that there was way too much to talk about!

[schooliskool]

Yeah I was happy it couldn't be considered a hard VCAA one, definitely do-able! Managed to get a fair bit out. The picture was a bit vague though, what did you guys write about it?

[Splash-Tackle-Flail]

Ouch. I'm done. This one was horrid.

I wasn't too sure about it too!
I wrote that behind Nguyen's team's success it was a team effort and I compared it with the banner in my comparison paragraph. I also wrote that it showed that volunteer work is a team effort which everyone can be a part of.

damn i only wrote about one visual, will this hurt my score? I just wrote about one because i thought they would convey the same 'symbolism'?

Yeah I did basically the same. Coming together in unison, no bias towards gender/race etc. I was a little mad that I couldn't get as much analysis as we usually do (or how much we are meant to), hopefully it wasn't just me though haha.
Then for the award banner I wrote some bull about how the hand is coming from above, like 'helping someone in need' gg

Haha that's alright then. I only used his first name in the intro

[GeniDoi]

I liked it, certainly more personality and expression than last years. To me it seemed the response wasn't that much of a opposition towards the original piece (as it was last year) but rather a gentle clarification which I incorporated into my contention. I didn't explicitly state that he "disagrees" with her. Though I could be wrong and 6/10 incoming.

[djsbrks]

Spent waaay too long on language analysis, compromised my writing time and quality for section A and B, will be lucky to get a 35

[acm9]

i still am stumped on her contention

Yeah for the banner I basically wrote the same thing, that it showed a 'helping hand'.

I had roughly the same idea, so we can both get 6s together if that's the case! But yeah i didn't explicitly highlight it either, i just talked about how she wanted to emphasise bigsplash as a company whose cared about creating a culture of collaboration in the community, how like - everyone else forgets volunteers except bigsplash; and then in contrast Nguyen's highlights that personal satisfaction is the true reward for volunteering
wasn't a bad analysis, though i could have been a bit more insightful in places. overall i don't really know how to feel about my performance.  I felt as though this was a slightly harder analysis then last year, if only because as an award giving speech her contention wouldn't have been as immediately clear.
