Hi all,
I just thought it would be beneficial to all HSC English Advanced students if we all shared our trial questions from Paper 2 just so we have a wide range of questions to practice from.
So I'll start. These were the questions from my school
Section 1 (Mod. A): 'It is only when texts are in constant dialogue with each other that we can truly appreciate them for not just being a product of their time.' To what extent is this statement true in light of your exploration of Textual Conversations?
Section 2 (Mod. B): 'Never did any novelist make more use of an impeccable sense of human values. It is against the disc of an unerring heart, an unfailing good taste, an almost stern morality that she shows up those deviations from kindness, truth, and sincerity which are the most delightful things in literature." To what extent do you agree or disagree with these claims that Austen exposed shortcomings in human behaviour? in your response make detailed reference to your prescribed text.
Section 3 (Mod. C): 'Good writing doesn't proceed from the individual writer, but from their interactions with the worlds of others, and from the vicissitudes* of lived experiences.' To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? In your response, refer to at least ONE text from Module C, and ONE OTHER TEXT from Module A, B, or the Common Module. This response must take the form of a PERSUASIVE piece of writing.
*A change in circumstances or fortune, typically one that is unwelcome and unpleasant.
Hope this helps everyone.
Thanks!
