Not transferrable anyway, unfortunately :) this service is our way of saying thanks for the people who are making our community great by getting involved (as you have done), so it's not something you can 'transfer' to someone else :)

Well I tried.

Thank you guys so much for all your help and making English bearable. You guys have taught me so much and its a privilege for the service you have done for us (not sure if I said that correctly :D). Thanks once again Jamon, Elyse, Jake and Brendon!

Can I end my story with dialogue? Or is it something that's frowned upon

You absolutely can! If you think your Creative would work well finished with a powerful piece of dialogue then go for it ;D

Quick question, with the essay marking, can speeches be checked as well? Sorry if it's a bit of an obvious question...

Never be sorry for asking a question ;) Definitely! It might be a little less, because a big part of your speech is how it's delivered, but we'll do our best! ;D

If you've completed the HSC this year and have your AOS essay or creative on hand, we would LOVE for you to upload it here so that it can be found by future HSC students! It's a helpful resource. Even if you think your work isn't good enough to help someone - just know that it could even be one sentence that gives someone an idea for how they go about discovery in their own essay - and we all know how good that light bulb moment is when you feel like you don't know where to start.

Hey Guys! I don't understand when a question asks what perspective of discovery is shown, because I wrote emotional but she said I didn't answer the question. Thanks!

Hey SSSS! On the very surface of it, it sounds like you are on the right track!

My interpretation of a perspective of Discovery is an opinion/view of the composer on the importance, nature or consequences of Discovery. Like a viewpoint! Emotional certainly works, but you would need to do a little more than that, give some perspective on emotional discoveries. Some opinion of them :)

Without seeing your response, it's hard to say exactly what the issue was. It could have just been some expression issues that prevented you from properly linking your ideas to the question, or maybe the Thesis didn't quite set it up properly? Because you are in the right area, provided you do the right things :)

Thanks so much for your post! The thing is that at the moment, the question "what perspective of discovery is shown" is a two marker in our assignment based on our related. As I am doing Ulysses, I just mentioned that the personas' emotional perspective on discovery is conveyed but with your feedback I think I would delve more into how his ambitions to explore new worlds is the emotional perspective of discovery shown.

For what it's worth, the question is quite ambiguous! They wouldn't be likely to put something like that in the HSC, I think :)

Jamon went along to all the threads this morning but must have missed this one, oops! As assessments are due in the next few weeks, things are picking up. Now we are back to 15 posts = one long piece marked. :)
