I was just wondering obviously this has been answered for module B but I am studying John Donne's Holy Sonnet's for Module A. I was wondering if there is a high likelihood that a specific poem may be asked for this module?
Thank you!

Hey, ghtoghto!
I highly doubt they will specify a poem in Module A because you already have to work with a second text as part of your study (in your case, W;t) and it would just be too much of a yikes move to do that. The closest thing I've seen in the past for Module A to being specified a text is where they have provided a short extract from a specific part of a poem and asked you to explore the ideas raised within it in relation to the composer's oeuvre and the appropriation (which meant that you didn't have to necessarily use that poem but it was recommended that you made some reference to it in the response as part of your judgement, arguments and evaluation). It would be worth having maybe three quotes for each of the other poems you don't plan on using in the crazy event that you might get asked one; I believe it's always better safe than sorry. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry too much about preparing paragraphs or having extensive analysis on it, especially at this stage in the HSC :)

Hi! I'm a bit confused, for our module A (I'm doing R3 AND LFR) and Module B (TS ELIOT) essays, should we use critics quotes or stick to using quotes from the texts? Do markers have a special preference or does it show a more sophisticated understanding? I would really appreciate some insight on this, I'm getting super worried for tomorrow!!! Thanks!

Hi there!
I'm really stumped on how to start my thesis for this question and was wondering if I could please get some pointers.
Question: How effectively do texts reveal the paradoxical nature of human behaviour and motivation? Relate to the Crucible and one other related text.
Thanks,
Xeno
