I wasn't happy with the landscape prompt either. I basically regurgitated an old response and tried to mould it to fit the prompt, but I don't think I answered it properly.

AMFAS was awesome, I couldn't have asked for any better.

Lang analysis really threw me off.

Having said that, I think i'd be struggling for an A+. GAH.

EDIT - typo, so brain dead after Eng.

Ehh I went ok. English has never been a strong point and I probably didn't write enough (3.5 pages for each). The topics were pretty managable so overall not too bad I guess.

It is definitely quality over quantity! Remember people have different writing sizes etc - it all makes a difference.

for the picture, i wrote a little on the donkey (refferred to it as a jackass lol), but i focused on how the little boy in the crowd was the only person smiling at the donkey's behaviour, therefore displaying how much children absorb the behaviour of adults.

also: the context for identity and belonging was so gay...was my worst essay by far, i only wrote two pages on that crap.

Wow, I really like your interpretation on the boy. I just looked at it and thought "What a stupid kid what the hell are you smiling at".

Didn't fancy the Identity and Belonging one either, I only drew on Bruce Dawe but made other real life references. Anyone know if that's acceptable?

My writing is normal sized I would say. (about 9 words per line). And I left 2 lines in between each paragraph. So its not really that much at all.

I think someone said they wrote 5... pretty impressive.

Which AMFAS did you do?


I did
ii. 'The play suggests few people do what is right; most people do what is expedient.'
Discuss

One para on Crom
One para on Rich (moving from fully expedient to expedient with innocence at start)
One para on Common Man (moving Rich to man who still has some morals)
One para on More (striking resistance to the corrupt society)

Hmm, that's a good interpretation. I did pick up on the smiling boy, but I used him to say that even those who weren't disgusted by the donkey/bad sportsmanship behavior still had their attention diverted from the game.
