Literature exam!!!!!!!

<< < (2/3) > >>

vexx:
this is a random question, but since it's just writing a response from passages. how do you study for the lit exam?
is it just what was said above and photocopying pages and writing a response for random sections ? anything else?

sugary_sweet:
I guess familiarise yourself with the underlying concepts, characterisation etc. so that you'd would have a solid understanding to draw from when writing your piece

iamdan08:
Yeah develop a deep knowledge on themes and characters, particularly how scenes are interconnected and how they contribute to the authors message and underlying purpose for writing their piece. The way i studied was just writing, reading heaps of different sources on my chosen text and thinking about them. I found the best study was just writing, because i found that the more i wrote the easier i could write.

vexx:
^ Ah i see thanks to both above.. this doesn't seem too bad to study for (on a comparison to english). but this seems really difficult to know what to write about in a passage, do you just have to write everything that seems important? how can this be structured - or doesn't that really matter?
or shouldn't i be asking these questions since i haven't started lit yet (i'm doing it next year).

iamdan08:
I guess you need to really discuss in depth about what is happening in the passages, how characters, themes, symbolism, imagery, language etc are developed and how it adds to the overall meaning if the book. I tended to discuss as much as i possibly could, particularly how the writer used language to convey meaning i.e. choosing certain words to emphasise a particular point or to create an image. Look up and have a read on literary techniques, especially if you are considering doing poetry!
