ik it wasn’t a to what extent question, but could we have argued that the human spirit cannot endure?

my teacher said for paper 2 mode, if u get a persuasive or discursive u make stuff up lol. So here's some words of advice

 

[Tryingtodowell]

Since I predicted 3/5 of last years questions basically word for word (https://boredofstudies.org/threads/english-advanced-predictions-thoughts.410787/), here are my predictions that you asked for. Keep in mind I haven't thought about English in a year, so this is purely gut vibes.

SHORT ANSWER
There will be 5 short answer texts:
1. Prose fiction
2. Poem
3. Prose Non-fiction
4. Prose Non-fiction
5. Poem

No images this year, sorry.

There will be 5 questions.
1 - 2 Marker (Text 1)
2 - 3 Marker (Text 2)
3 - 5 Marker (Texts 2 & 3)
4 - 4 Marker (Text 4)
5 - 6 Marker (Texts 4 & 5)

------------------------------

COMMON MOD ESSAY
Will be a question involving, how does your prescribed text ignite new ideas in regards to (smthg about paradoxes). This will be harder than it looks at first glance, as they'll ask for the paradoxes OF something, e.g. How does [your text] ignite readers to consider new perspectives on the paradoxes of (insert niche human experience).

------------------------------

MOD A
Feel like the idea of the authors context will be in the question. Maybe a 'To what extent'?? So maybe you'd be analysing the two texts, through the lens of their contextual epochs, which I think is somewhat tricky, but ultimately wouldn't require too many tweaks to a base essay.

------------------------------

MOD B
Going to be adjacent to the idea of structural integrity (maybe asking how a certain idea within the text is developed?).

------------------------------

MOD C
I can confirm, you WILL get a choice. Likely to be 15 and 5 marker.

the common mod prediction was completely wrong

 

[lolcti]

FUCK THAT SHIT EXAM CAUSE WHY TF WAS UNSEEN SO BAD

 

[iane]

guys my handwriting was diabolical am i cooked and yeah where were the paradoxes

 

[lolcti]

Guys but seriously it was obvious they wouldn’t assess paradoxes and animalises like bos isn’t that fucking stupid to give us the only syllabus dot point not assessed but tbh question was easy

 

[Benson714]

Bruh I still decided to mention anomalies anyways in my essay

 

[C2H6O]

The only correct prediction of mine was that I’m cooked, cause I got absolutely railed
Shorts took so long cause of the convoluted ahh passages and I didn’t even know what I was yapping
Essay question was ok but I’m worried I was jumping around a lot before settling on whether the human spirit endures or not
Ngl this might be the roughest paper 1 I’ve done yet

 

[Tim8cash]

ik it wasn’t a to what extent question, but could we have argued that the human spirit cannot endure?

I did say that humans cannot endure for one of my para but mine is "Gives out", "Endure" and "Kinda both ways"

 

[lolcti]

Bro I wrote 15 pages for the essay but they took so freaking long to give me the booklets wasted my time

 

[Tim8cash]

My prediction would be short qs must have at least one comparative so my guess is 3,4,3,4,6
And the common would be an extent but my guess would be it either leans towards individual motives or storytelling

I am looking at my prediction and I am actually amazed I got the mark distrubution somewhat right lmao. Except the order and one of them is a 5-marker. But I did not expect they just give us such a straightball question instead of using the more challenging Storytelling or Anomaly-Inconsistency-Paradoxes. So ngl I am fearful that they would make a hell of paper 2 to balance it out.

yeh if paper 2 is easy then scaling would be terrible so mod c is def gonna be 19 mark informative and 1 mark reflection

 

[obosman]

how was everyone's paper? advanced short answer screwed me over a little bit

 

[nowomansland]

I did say that humans cannot endure for one of my para but mine is "Gives out", "Endure" and "Kinda both ways"

okay same bc ultimately i said it can endure but in my third paragraph i said it cannot so they can decide if does or doesn’t

 

[alphxreturns]

ik it wasn’t a to what extent question, but could we have argued that the human spirit cannot endure?

ye ofc, the question was about understanding which can be either

 

[alphxreturns]

[Study to success]

[t234]

question 5 wasnt about aboriginal btw lol phew good thing i ddint say
