    A few problems from Fitzpatrick- care to help?

    I recently did Test Paper 1 from Fitzpatrick's book and am stumped by a few of the questions, largely due to the fact that the book only puts solutions, not worked solutions. If anyone is kind enough to help explain only one or a few of them/ answer them in 'worked-solution' fashion, that...

    Anil's Ghost

    It's on the syllabus because of the way it stretches the boundaries of crime fiction - as everyone has already said - and markers are looking for new ways to test our understanding of genre. So, pick an aspect, and argue it. That's what they want to see. I wouldn't disregard it as 'crap'...

    Genre

    Last year's HSC left room for a student's perception, or rather, what we understand genre to be. This doesn't mean use I, or I think genre is this, but to formally express to them that you have a sound understanding of genre.

    Study game: Germany

    The effect on groups: 1. The workers had no place in Nazi ideology, except for them to be the backbone of the economy. They lost their Trade Unions and right to strike; also had to suffer frozen wages and longer hours but neverthless got more annual holidays via "Strentgh through joy" and...

    Hints? Learn time management. Ie. 18 minutes per question. Number 2: Don't make stupid mistakes. Haha, how helpful. Let me get my shotgun to shoot the dude who said "haha 2unit doesn't need studying". Don't be a knowitall showoff to the less equipped maths brains.

    Front Line Related Texts

    Don't use wag the dog! It's incredible overdone. Markers will get the poops if they see it pop up. Its considered a text that average students would use because they can't be bothered to search for anything else. There's a movie with Robert Redford in it... what's it called? It's directly...

    Confusion About Related Texts for Frontline

    I reckon you can use either or. I'm doing a film where the truth is withheld from the public from this and that reason, like frontline, and a feature article which talks about a journalist who distorted the truth to sell more magazines. You can use one of each, or two of one, whatever. Because...

    Premeditated Cheating

    I don't think anything excuses cheating. Along with lying, it's one of the most utter forms of disrespect. I mean, you're giving your partner your heart, your body, your trust, your soul, and they go and betray all of that by jumping in someone else's bed. Now whilst cheating can't always be...

    What to choose for Germany Speech???

    It really depends what you're interested in. I think doing one on opposition would be interesting and relative. You could also argue about whether or not Nazi Germany was Totalitarian, because you can go on for ages about that, include heaps of historians and it has been asked in the HSC...

    Hitler's World View - as in ideology? I'm taking a massive stab here but Gleichschaltung? I know that means forcible coordination but still... Components (I'm going with ideology here...) 1. Anti-semitism 2. Creation of a Herrenvolk 3. Solid and aggressive foreign policy 4. Strong German...

    going down there...

    I don't think you should kiss after. I wouldn't want a guy to kiss me so therefore I won't kiss him. Who wants to taste their own paste? I like neither spit nor swallow. Why? Because swallow does NOT sit well in the stomach. Spit is also bad because its also uncomfortable to hold it in your...
