Alize:
Hi guys,
For Mod A we've studied 1984 in class and i was just wondering if in an essay i could write the title in numbers "1984" or would i have to write "Nineteen Eighty-Four?"
Thanks

RuiAce:
This received much dispute. My teacher told us for our trials that it was permissible to write '1984', however she could not provide the same reassurance for the final HSC.

I wrote the long thing out because it didn't really waste time for me, however you might want to ask your teacher before the exam (or now by email) what he/she expects. Regarding the final exam, however, I can't comment further

Hey Alize! Welcome to the forums!! ;D to be safe, write "Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984)" in your Thesis paragraph, then use the numbers from that point forward  ;D

Tiny problem. The brackets are usually used to state the year of publication of the text

Hmm, if the original poster would like to include that (and it is a good inclusion for a Module A essay, not so relevant elsewhere) then perhaps integrate it throughout the sentence.

EG - This notion is explored in George Orwell's 1949 science fiction novel, Nineteen Eighty Four (1984)  ;D
