VCE English Exam - Language Analysis Discussion

[HarryCondon5]

fak, some debate on the discussion space page about the cartoon. I wrote that it opposed the construction, what about you guys?

I wrote that it supported both Wiley and Warwick; is this allowed? Or have I messed up?

[postera]

I wrote something similar, about how the cartoonist was using the "Pop. 3001" to suggest that the giant attraction will barely bring in any new residents. I know the article focused on increasing tourism, but increases in tourism would eventually lead to more residents, so I interpreted the cartoon as essentially saying that a giant watermelon won't inspire more people to live there. I saw some people saying on the VCE Facebook page that the 3001 was supposed to represent the watermelon becoming part of the population, so I guess it can be interpreted both ways.

I feel like the increase in population relates not only to tourism, but contrasts with Wiley's mention (in her column) regarding 'welcom[ing] newcomers' and therefore the growth of Lawton.

I meant to write this but for some reason didn't- I guess time didn't permit.

Heavens no, closer to three 8s

Thank you! This gives me hope

Ranked 2nd in my school sacs but completely forgot to mention the image in section c because im an idiot,,,, any chance at all of a 45+???

[MortarMelon]

For the melon, i said it symbolizes the town's agricultural roots and the missing chunk connotes tourism is unsustainable and ultimately degrading for the natural environment, thereby putting future production at risk.

Did anyone else do this?

Hi, I want to know if I lost any marks for referring to Alexandra Wiley as a male instead of a female as I realy thought it was a guy.

Probs not.

[craigggy]

My contentions completely wrong(that's affect the note form), but i think i find persuasive techniques correct and explain them, do i have any chances to get about 15+ in section C?

[HakunaMattata]

I didn't mention the cartoon's contention in my intro, will I be marked down?

provided you mentioned it at some point in your essay, nup.

The only rule of the language analysis is that there are no rules.

All I could think about was Warwick from League of Legends..... I just imagined an angry furry... so, so angry.
And the millions of sniffles around me.

I THOUGHT It was gonna be something horrifying similar to one of Lauren's packs. God speed.
I probably pulled a 6, rip. I don't think I could have gotten worse than a 5... *screams*
There was so much more I wanted to analyse but had to move on to the other essays and I totally forgot about it afterwards lol Q_Q
I misinterpreted a few things? e.g. The watermelon was mocking Wiley's ambition for a featured attraction
Understanding the tonal shift might be the only thing I can be proud of in Wiley's piece, but I think I did paraphrase oh nooo nonono
However, I never have to write like that ever again.

Appreciating the watermelon memes, y'all.

Agreed the amount of things to analyse was substantial.

Omg and atleast i'm not alone, Warwick confirmed watermelon attraction advocate XD

Did anyone else suggest Wiley was trying to urge residents to become positive ambassadors of the town by making them proud of their home town for its 'succulent vegetables' and stuff? I think this might have been a little too far fetched

Did you say that that's all that Wiley was trying to achieve?
