__**English Advanced**__ Khosrow: For all those who have doubt

Jason: Just quickly guys, wondering if anyone could check out this thesis? //An individual’s relationship with the metaphysical allows for them to challenge the values of their socially prescribed community. Dickinson and Gilman explore the tension between a patriarchal society and the individual through a female voice, informed by their connections to the metaphysical.// Thank you =)

Here's an edited version:

//An individual’s relationship with the metaphysical allows for them to challenge the values of their socially PRESCRIPTIVE community. Dickinson and Gilman explore the tension between a patriarchal society and the individual through a female voice, informed by their connections to the metaphysical.//

And of course, if I find that I can't gather enough stuff on the metaphysical, I'll just switch to something like: //An individual’s choices not to belong allow for them to challenge the values of their socially prescriptive community. Dickinson and Gilman explore the tension between a patriarchal society and the individual through a female voice, informed by perceived alienation.//

= BELONGING =

The new unit can make or break your English ATAR.

The idea is to have an unique supplementary text to differentiate you from the rest. SO DON'T DO: Kite Runner, Edward Scissorhands etc.

I did a trawl through the internet and compiled some notes on Dickinson and belonging. A bit complex, but there is some truly academic sounding things you might find useful. Hope it helps!

Also another academic called Margaret Freeman explains what the silences in Dickinson's poems

Belonging Creative Task #2:

Feedback is appreciated, and you may steal (to some extent).

Hahaha Haywood, I like the ending :)

Witty how you quoted from the Area of Study rubric and described it as filling you with dread XD

Brought a smile to my face. Also possible references to Smith forcing us to memorise the rubric?

WX: I love the beginning of the story, but it kinda loses its flow midway, when you're a bit guilty of overwriting. You captured the brutality of the place pretty well though, and brings the sadist in you out very well. :)

Jason's Creative Story - Feedback = Me Love You Long TIME!!!

Very nice- did we really have to reference intertextual references? What was the point of the bold statements? Maybe I just missed it. Jason: Here's what the Statement of Authorship says

attributed and acknowledged.
 * A student made have included intertextual references within their narrative. Such references must be accurately

So, yes, I guess we needed to reference intertextual references. And the bold statements? Nothing, really. I'll get rid of it =P Thank you.
