If they were to specify a poem, you can almost guarantee it would be 'Easter, 1916.' And I would prepare for three.

=( bad news. You can't move HSC exams ever. If two exams clash then they don't let you leave the room. This would be an absolute no.

It means 29 or 30. But if you DIDNT get nominated, it doesnt mean you didnt get 29 or 30. You may not have been nominated for content or something.

Its not as though this person woke up and was a little nervous about an English paper. THEY WERE ON MEDICATION. Of course it's fair. Quit your whinging people.

Keep your clothes on Dont show graphic rape Dont be racist Dont do a piece about something that would seriously offend a general audience Dont swear too much (they CAN cut this out later, but perhaps a piece about the history of the f-word could be a little better thought out)

Pretty sure St Spiridons did something like that for anyone who got a UAI over 97. Something like $3000. Thats what the SMH said anyway...

The Woman Who Cooked Her Husband: Debbie Isitt: Amazon.co.uk: Books I believe its from this play called "The Woman Who Cooked Her Husband" by Debbie Isitt

Re: Public School vs. Private Quite right, everybody sat down and somehow took an independent predictor of the quality of teaching in every single school. And a completely non-biased body decided that YOUR school's faculty are THE BEST teachers in Australia. EXACTLY RIGHT! I'm so glad that...

Most of the monologues you'll find on websites will be really terrible and written by a twelve year old who is "deep" or "apathetic." You want to either: read a play, or several; or find a website that has monologues taken from ACTUAL, PUBLISHED plays (try Monologue Archive) But really, read...

I suppose I resent his style. I find that the whole 'letting the facts speak for themselves' thing gets kind of tedious. It's as though he is trying to appear free from authorial influence, which is clearly a lie if you look at his choice of characters. I just think all of the other texts are...

Hey! Also doing a speech, mines on the evolving purpose of poetry, and the perceived responsibilities of the poet as a social conscience. Anyone have any ideas about recording?

Just finished studying 'Hiroshima' thankfully. It is so terrible, why we are studying it when the other texts are so fantastic is beyond me. Catch-22 is so hillarious, almost balances out the horror that is 'Hiroshima'
