For example, could they ask me in trials specifically about anomalies or specificall about paradoxes?
Students explore how texts may give insight into the anomalies, paradoxes and inconsistencies in human behavior and motivations, inviting the responder to see the world differently, to challenge assumptions, ignite new ideas or reflect personally.

Hey, LoneWolf!
They absolutely could ask you specifically on one of those but that doesn't mean you don't refer at all to the "human behaviours and motivations" part of the statement. Think of them as derived from the idea that human behaviours and motivations are complex in nature and that they are what make our human experiences unique. If you were to get a question, for example, solely on anomalies for Billy Elliot, you could address more broadly the way individual experiences are guided by personal desires and passions, those of which may result in anomalous behaviours and motivations (those which deviate from what is standard and/or expected). You would then look at three themes which enable you to explore those behaviours and motivations and how anomalous actions and activities are able to do one of these things: invite the responder to see the world differently/to challenge assumptions/ignite new ideas/reflect personally. Hope that makes sense!

Thats great.
I am studying I am malala.
Would it be to much to ask to ask you to make references/links to that to help me understand (that is if you know the text)!?
thank you

Hey!
I'd apply the same logic with Malala as well. Her story is really centred around motivations; you look at her own motivations as a person seeking equality, rights and change which are all admirable qualities that we should all strive towards as we navigate through our own human experiences. If I were to look at her in relation to those rubric concepts, there are a few examples that could make strong arguments. Firstly, you could consider her an anomaly in that she deviated from expected behaviours and motivations for women in her country and chose to defy authority figures in name of her own empowerment. A paradox that you could see from this is the idea that it is in hardship and struggle that we truly rise to being the best versions of ourselves and find the rewards of life. Finally, it is because her motivations are inconsistent with the rest of her society's that she became an activist and found her own calling in advocating for women's rights and education. Hopefully this helps with grasping the concepts now that you have some more specific examples for your text!

Hi !!
How would I approach this statement/question for module B?
"An engaging text will skilfully blend ideas, language features and form to generate a
considered response. Discuss this statement with close reference to 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nightime'"
I don't really understand it and am unsure of how to start my response ;;
Would I link themes and the texts features and talk about how they relate to form a considered response in the thesis?
Thank you
