Now that i have your attention is it ok to use opinion in essays when talking about consumerism or should i let the poems and related materials do the explaining 4 me. Also i apologise for getting you all excited lol

u should never say your own opinion in an essay, (ie. cant say i or me)

let your poems and related material do the explaining, but u can do stuff like define consumerism and talk about consumerism in general, but never use your opinion, (eg. never say "I believe" cant be personal, instead say, "one would believe")

dang.. and one who fell hook, line, and sinker was hoping for some too...

It is evident that scarcasm is loved by this composer.

u can actually
some questions can tie u into given a personal opinion
my eng teacher (and she's an examiner) said they accept that sort of structure
but im not...coz its jus sounds WRONG in an english essay

well, this kind of and kind of doesn't relate to this thread....

for some modules - like Donne - they can ask you to write about your personal responses - in this case to the poetry

.....with regard to consumerism - i guess they could ask you, or it could be incorporated into the question, like i think ive seen a paper somewhere that said something about your perceptions of change being influenced by the texts - could be specimen or last years hsc?? - so thats possible as well...

Did you really need to revive a 3 year old thread to say that!!!

Well, while we're here...

You can state your own opinion (they do this in Uni english essays all the time), but if you feel uncomfortable, don't. Alternatively, use terms like "one thinks" or "the audience is likely to...." etc

arh.. im not soo good in english.. but i would try using "one would believe.. or one think" how come i've never thought of that...

had difficulty doing that in essays..thanks..^^
