Geez, I just realised I may have royally screwed language analysis. I didn't really put background information, got the name of the magazine wrong, and didn't explicitly mention the target audience or the form. The rest of it was damn near perfect. Have I definitely lost marks?

Is it a formulaic (A language analysis must have mention of the form, background information, this, that, etc) or is it a general (must have this depth, must adequately describe persuasive technique, comprehensively describe how the language has been used to persuade the reader and how the reader is positioned etc)?

Also I don't think it was very clear if the magazine was called CTRL ALT or Voxy. It seemed like CTRL ALT was graphics VCAA added to emphasise that it was on the web.

On the page before the article, where it had the 'background information' it said that CTRL ALT was the name of the magazine.

Huh? It didn't seem to have that on my sheet. Reckon I'll lose a mark for it? I only called it Voxi magazine once, and referred to them as the author/writer/Voxi after that.

Section A- i did Look Both Ways the first question
Section B- encounteing conflict
Section c- i died....stupid peice of crap article

Exactly the same here, but I didn't find the article as bad as everyone is making it out. When I first read it, I must admit, I was concerned but then I re-read it and was fine, I think.
2008: Geography [42] Revolutions [38]
2009: English [40] Literature [38] Psychology [36] International Studies [33]

Don't worry it's fine. Well I think the guy above would want to see it though, who was confused about the title of the magazine.

Yeah because the chances of that happening are far more likely than a beleaguered tired and stressed me missing it on the way to my final section having already lost 10 minutes trying to rescue my text response :P

I know it seemed like I meant that in my previous post but I'm too tired to consistently make sense!

I did imaginative landscape for my context piece, drawing primarily on fly away Peter. I think the topic wasn't too bad, as I had written a couple of similar practice pieces. In terms of the specific place, I tried to show how this remain constant- however our perception of the world around us is constantly evolving. This was then furthered by explaining how we each respond differently in a common landscape . E.g Jim ashley and Imogen in the sanctuary, and then in my last paragraph I explored how it is also possible that the time and place in which we live can cause detrimental effects, e.g whizzer green
