Sure thing

Generals Die in Bed - Charles Yale Harrison

    Did Harrison's war follow any such rules?

OR

2. 'Harrison's novel questions the meaning of heroism, and of right and wrong.'

Thanks Kat and Gerry.

I have another question, which is once again totally unrelated to me seeking practice exams but someone should be able to answer it easily enough - I've seen a report on the VCAA website (it was filled with bar graphs) indicating the required exam score in each subject to achieve a particular grade - what's it called and how do I find it again?

^Did you mean the Grade Distributions?
