Hi all

For MOD B, how shown i structure a mod b essay - text 1 - text 2-text 1 -text 2, or text 1 and text 2 in the same paragraph and then repast in the next with contrasting ideas

Hey! Both structures are definitely fine, the former is usually called a block response and the other an integrated response - Each has its own pros and cons. Do whichever seems the better fit for you

For the trials/HSC modules paper, is there a specific strategy that I should use in tackling the paper? Should I do it numerically?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hey! There's no right or wrong, but I personally started with my strongest essay, the one I knew I could get the most marks out of with the least amount of effort. This happened to be Module A for me. Doing the paper easiest to hardest was my preference because for me, I preferred to get the marks I knew I could get done first

But it is very much a personal thing!

Hello,
What is the best way to study for the upcoming trials (esp. for mod A), from what I've seen the questions asked each year are quite different. Is it possible to go in with a prepared essay since i'm not a strong writer, i won't being able to grab good marks if I just go in with quotes and expand based on the question.

Hey! Going in with a semi-prepared response for Module A is definitely possible, Elyse wrote a guide on it you can read!

Anyone got sample essays for TGG and EBB?

Try these:

https://engrishforum.wordpress.com/2012/02/16/band-6-ebb-and-ggb-excellent-composition-context-heavy/

Slightly related question, when memorising quotes from the Sonnets do I need to know the actual number of the sonnet? The prescribed text is like 10 different poems in a 30 poem collection. Like "In Sonnet XIV Browning implores her lover to love for "love's sake only" etc etc etc." Or should I just memorise the quote?

Imploring/demanding tone maybe? Might be a more specific word for it.

Hey guys
How would I structure this essay in terms of which ideas to use?

"Explore how the passing of time has been shown to possess the power to stimulate individual discoveries."
PT: The Tempest. RT: Edward Scissorhands

Thanks

Im not sure if this is correct or not. But you could use :
Prospero - After time on the island, with development of magic has given him power ( Seen through Ariel and his servant Caliban) , he has manipulated the discovery of Ferdinand by Miranda  ( He has caused the tempest , has manipulated their meeting  “It goes on, I see, as my soul Prompt it” ) etc.
Hopefully that Helps?

Help please
I need a quote in The Tempest that shows Prospero creating the tempest to confront his brothers for usurping him.
I can't find one but maybe someone knows an alternative? TIA

This is the one i have, it shows why Prospero is angry at his brother  but its not a confrontation.  Ive use two quotes to emphasise the one point •   
“This King of Naples being an enemy to me inveterate/ Hast thou, spirit, performed to point the tempest that I bade thee?” Act 1 scene 2

I'm just going to repost this cause I think it was missed in the bundle of questions, but if you only have time to check the thesis that is perfectly fine! I know you guys are super busy!

Hi Guys!
I was wondering if you could please check if my intro is ok! This is for module C (people and politics) and my texts are Brave New World and I met the Walrus 

The question is: Representation of people and politics inevitably involve the representation of important values.

Through presenting confronting political models regarding the human experience, a composer is influential in providing provocative yet anthropological truths relevant to society. In representing political issues through a variety of mediums, a composer's habitual expression and language provide a perspective on important humanistic values, often shaped by their personal context.  In the form of a dystopian novel, Huxley’s ‘Brave New World’ is representative of his fears for the over-bureaucratisation of society and the misuse of technology leading to the dehumanisation of man, reflected through his fascination for satire and characterizations representative of various aspects of political hierarchies. Josh Raskin too adopts a satirical style in his short animatic film ‘I met the Walrus’,coupling voiceover from the Beatles musician John Lennon with hyperbolic pen sketches, indicative of his progressive point of view while also representing Lennon’s political perspective across a visual medium, illustrating the extent of his concerns regarding power and conformity. While both composers present thought-provoking ideologies in disparate forms, their common motivations are clear in advocating for political transparency, urging against political indifference through social rebellion.


Thanks so much! Annabelle xx

Hi, what technique is in this:

“One believes things because they have been conditioned to believe them”

Thanks!

I would have to say objective third person- shows how the statememt is a highly repeated mantra or belief, it is a truth of society with no personal opinions towards it, or even analepsis (repetition of a word or phrase for emphasis)
 
Hope this helps!
