[Jona]

LOL @ Peachy Alter Ego That's original.

You stole the words right out of my mouth.

The main thing about this book is that there is no 'e' in it. Not a single one. Check it out.

Oh man, that had me laughing for a while. Gatsby is kinda of a classic in literature, don't you think? No Es?

[AlwaysWhat,NeverWhy]

Oh man, that had me laughing for a while. Gatsby is kinda of a classic in literature, don't you think? No Es?

Believe it or not, here in Greece it's actually translated something in the likes of 'My life and me', if you can believe it.

[cyanide]

Do it yourself, jeez How are you going to learn if you get other people to help you?

[Jing]

oh wow the great gatsby, that book was fuckin insane. i did a paper on it in senior year, A

[Nick]

Tendodweeb,

I just thought of how we can solve your problem. How about, in the 8 or so days you have left, read the fucking book yourself, then you'll have all the answers.

Glad i could help,

Nick.




EDIT: I didn't even read notice cyanide's post, being in the state that i am... anyways... thought i'd leave my message to get it through his skull...

7, 8, 9 or 10 days is not exactly an emergancy... you have time you learn yourself instead of getting spoon-fed..

[sucram]

just thought if anyone was still thinking of helping me here is my task sheet. It was a killer on the wrist to type up.

SENIOR ENGLISH TASK SHEET
>
>Due Date: 10.03.06 (AUS date)
>
>BACKGROUND:
>During this unit you have been investigating the construction of
>gender in texts. You have explored the way that beliefs about being
>female and being male are largely socially constructed and are
>reinforced and re-cycled as readers read, make meaning from and
>reconstruct texts.
>
>CONTEXT:
>An educational website is being constructed to investigate the way a
>variety of texts construct and represent gender. You have been asked
>to contribute a hypernarrative to be linked to this site. You are to
>use your hypernarrative to interrogate the text you have been
>studying, in relation to gender.
>Your hypernarrative should explicify or implicify:
>- identify constructions of gender in your text
>- highlight the marganalising and/or silencing of either gender in
>your text
>- play with language to construct alternate gender representations
>and alternate and oppositional readings of characters / scenes
>- make lines between the social and cultural context of your text
>and the text itself.
>- use intertextuality to highlight gender construction
>
>TASK: YOU ARE TO CONSTRUCT A HYPERNARRATIVE IN RESPONSE TO THE THE
>TEXT YOU HAVE STUDIED IN THIS UNIT.
>
>
>Some notes on hypernarrative:
>
>'Narrative' - a story
>'Hyper' - a prefix that usually implies excess or exaggeration.
>So, a hypernarrative is a narrative with 'more'.
>
>Traditionally narratives have, in the main, followed a linear
>(line-like) structure with a beginning, middle and end. The reader
>is expected to begin at the beginning and proceed through the story
>in the sequence determined by the author. (Of course it has always
>been possible to 'dip' in and out of a printed narrative or jump to
>the end.)
>
>Some print authors have constructed print hypernarratives- offering
>the reader possible alternative plot lines and/ or endings.
>
>However hypernarrative has really come into its own with the advent
>of electronic texts. In this context a hypernarrative is a linked
>network of 'nodes' which readers are free to navigate in a
>non-linear fashion. In the widest sense, hypernarratives' have no
>singular, definite beginnings, no fixed sequences of events: as
>stories they are structures which may explore different possible
>(even mutually exclusive) pathways and include contradictory
>outcomes. Readers can proceed only on the basis of the choices they
>make to follow this link or that' (Dr Wendy Morgan)
>
>Hypernarratives allow for multiple authors, a blurring of the author
>and reader roles, multiple entry points and multiple reading paths.
>
>A hypernarrative can take on something of the form of a collage or
>experimental story where the reader makes meaning by assembling the
>pieces.
>
>THERE ARE SOME 'MUST-DO'S' WHEN CONSTRUCTING YOUR HYPERTEXT.
>
>- Respond to your class text (demonstrate knowledge of your text)
>- Interrogate (explicity or implicity) the construction of gender in
>your text
>- Show some narrative development, though not necessarily a
>resolution.
>- Include a piece or pieces of extended writing that are typical of
>imaginative writing- ie are:
> -descrptive
> -use figurative language
> - use imagery
> - appeal to the senses
> - use strong adverbs/ adjectives
>
>SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR INCLUSIONS
>
>-excerpts from original text
>-links to the cultural and social context of text
>-links to other text
>-alternative resolutions
>-alternatives to 'complications'
>-'meta', comments by characters
>-'meta' comments by you, the author
>-visuals`(eg traditional/ contemporary representations of gender)
>-sound / music
>-newspaper articles, letters, diary entries, cartoons, birthday
>cards, shopping brochures, song lyrics, ads etc, etc, etc.
>
>
>
>PURPOSE:
>To engage, entertain and 'comment' on a text.
>
>AUDIENCE:
>Unknown, range of ages/ backgrounds etc
>
>FIELD (subject matter):
>Elements of your class text/ gender.
>
>Tenor:
>Your role: A narrator / text selector / commentator
>Your relationship to your audience: Close or more distant dependent
>on whether or not you explicitly address your reader. But either
>way, leaving your reader free to choose possible reading pathways.
>Thus they, rather than you, construct the narrative they read.
>
>TEXT TYPE:
>Hypernarrative
>
>STRUCTURE:
>- Some aspects of narrative structure (orientation, complications,
>climax, resolution)
>- texts linked through nodes- possibly with a 'title' page
>-may include a variety of other text types
>
>LANGUAGE FEATURES:
>-descrptive language
>-figurative language
>-action and thinking / feeling verbs
>-frequent use of third person and past tense
>-possible use of first person
>
>CONDITIONS:
>-800 - 1000 words total of your original writing (quotations dont
>count)
>- may be constructed electronically (on CD) or be print based
>(including map of 'links')
>-4 weeks notice of completed task
>-previously untaught subject matter
>-genre explicitly taught
>-open access to family, friends, peers, guidelines, class notes,
>print and electronic resources, NLSC members cheating for you
>(HAHAHA HAD TO PUT THAT IN, SORRY)
>-teacher input into planning and drafting stages.
