tolkien (jrr) hands down. but other than that, and across the nightingale floor i'm not that big a fantasy fan..and my favourite non-fantasy author would have to be kureishi

*is definitely NOT a genius* i dunno if it's easy or hard to get a good mark, i don't even know if you can look at it that way. obviously writing 6-8000 words of interesting, engaging stuff (for a short story) involves effort, but they are marking you on how well you write, and most ppl that...

but if you want to focus on the idea of little ppl in a big world as your main theme, maybe instead of studying lotr alone you could look at other popular texts which use this device and analyse why they are so appealing to readers

liliputian - i'm pretty sure i've seen bolt 1&2 at grace bros in the city. or if you haven't read them yet i know you can get them at south sydney library and waverly... astron - sorry, i didn't mean to suggest that you'd base your report completely on study guides or that you'd draw stupid...

i think i have the biggest disaster story for finishing my 4 unit...a week before it was due i got struck with these immensely severe migraine headaches that lasted 2 1/2 weeks (in the middle of trials too). i couldn't see out of one eye & my head almost exploded if i looked at even the tiniest...

i think there's a place near central called sydney skydive..or something like that... but i'm waiting till i go to nz at the end of the year - it'd be so much better there :D

suilaid everybody :p mae govannen you can also get these really straightforward, easy sindarin lessons at www.councilofelrond.com - look in the languages section. they also have this study buddy thing where you can learn with other ppl... liliputian, which home books don't you have? coz i...

it looks like a bad ripoff of looking for alibrandi...like, that was a good first book but i was hoping she'd do something different this time, rather than just proving she can articulate the thoughts of a disgruntled italian/australian teenage girl who falls in love and finds herself all over...

i just spent an insane amount of money on tolkien's complete history of middle-earth :D :eek: :o . i love tolkien too much for my own good (financially - why is it all so expensive ) i just finished reading across the nightingale floor and that was bloody awesome, love harry potter, anything by...

*hates cie* anyone else think cultural studs = hsc english? :rolleyes:

saladsurgery - some humanities subject (anything but pub com which has a textbook)?? don't forget, you still have to fork out for $48 worth of PCA reader :chainsaw:

i don't think it does - i think it's just communication degrees

i can be bludgier :p humanities has no exams, only pass/fail grades and 25 weeks off :D

saveferris are you doing pub com?

didn't do environment, but world order wasn't too bad despite hindrance of teacher who epitomised crapness... might even be kinda interesting with the whole iraq situation. means you'll have something current to study instead of irrelevant newspaper articles from the mid-80s :rolleyes:

tolkien argh! just typed a hugely long post and it got eaten up somehow :mad: :mad1: :mad: well in essence: heather - like leap, i'm a completely obsessed middle-earth nut and while i didn't do a tolkien study for my 4u work, i hope to work it into my uni course somehow (*cough*public...

lord ac, don't worry - at my school the frequency of 'lessons' varied greatly. in t4 we had practically none, but by the end some ppl were seeing their teacher 5 times a week.... and mike, i'm about to send you a msg :P

has anyone heard of this??? it's not in the chunkus book, but my friend told me yesterday she put it down as a preference...it's meant to be like the uts course but more hands on.. if anyone has any idea what i'm talking (or how i can find out what i'm going on about) about please post back...

i never had any of those probs coz i showed fuck all to my teacher until the last week..lol...ok, so that was dumb. i wanted it picked to bits, but i was too scared to show it to anyone, ESPECIALLY her, coz she taught me since yr 7 and had a really high opinion of my writing and i thought my...

sgtslick i agree completely with, well, every bit of your excessive bitching :P no need to repeat it all again... that said, i think the new syllabus had the potential to be - well good would be going too far - but better than it turned out, possibly better than the old syllabus, but they...
