I thought it was recognized by everyone that Nick and Lucy are pardon the word "bad" characters as they are arrogant and self righteous as they go about ignoring the mental patients but rather choose to participate in a march?

Maybe i am wrong and they are genuinely trying to help save innocent lives like you said bomb?

They are portrayed as somewhat "bad", but you have called them "blind and narrow minded" with no evidence whatsoever to back that up. Same with saying they're "good" - you need evidence. You can say whatever, just back it up legitimately.

It seems like no one is yet to comment on your context piece. I personally don't write an expository essay (I have decided to go with persuasive in the exam), so I'm not sure if I can be of a great help. I thought your piece was coherent and you made some relevant points. I especially like your point about the role which conflicts play in the politics. Our school had two assessors (they marked our mock exam) come and talk to us on the holidays. One of them mentioned that we should try and use 2 texts which we have studied. He mentioned how the majority of us just used on text, and added that if we do use two, it shows the assessor that you know both very well (and hence impressed them I guess!). He told us that the text other than the one you select to mainly focus on does not need to be discussed in great length.

Yeah i have never even thought about writing about the role of conflict in politics, however it did turn out to be one of my better arguements so i might refine my ideas about it and incorporate it in the context essay i do for the exam...
I will post another one of these up for tomorrow as i need the practice

If anyone has anything else they would like to contribute it would be appreciated

Our trial exams were marked by an actual VCAA examiner and i recieved 70% or i got an 8 for context 7 for text response and 6 for language analysis...What study score will i get if im probably top 20% of my cohort?

Medium cohort

A good way to approach your language analysis is this:

Remember the written explanations that we did for Context Writing; the explanations that we will not be using in the exam?

Well, you can use this when you plan for your analysis.

Use this acronym - FLAP+C+C - Form/Language/Audience/Purpose/Context/Contention when you plan your analysis.

In our Context pieces, as the author, we make linguistic choices that intertwine with the point of view and contention.

The aim of your language analysis is to decipher the writer's point of view, their purpose, their respective audience, and also where the money is - HOW they encourage the audience to see what they see.

Remember, use FLAP+C+C! It's not a useless concept after all.
