for people doing ts eliot if the question is on textual integrity are we meant to talk about journey of magi because it kinda deviates a little from eliot's other poems??

also for mod A is it mandatory to discuss one dissonance and one resonant thing or can we do 2 of the same thing??
for mod a it depends on what the question is asking you, there was times (i think) where they asked just on how the texts collide, that would require only dissonances if im correct. but if a question doesnt specify i would do resonances and dissonances to show that you have a deep understanding of both

wait @t234 can u elaborate on ur question about ts eliot
textual integrity is the overall unity of the text, how it's form/language/structure all come together to produce meaning.
journey of magi has some different use of language (reflecting eliot's own conversion in his faith) compared to the other 4 poems
so i was wondering if we should be including it or not

To what extent does the representation of individuals within your prescribed text reflect the anomalies, paradoxes and inconsistencies inherent in the human experience?
this was a past trial question from some school idk what one

The human experience of totalitarian regimes strips individuality, yet paradoxically fuels their drive to reclaim purpose, revealing anomalies and inconsistencies that define this struggle for purpose.

- this took me so long if i got this on thursday id just dumb the rubric and call it a day but if it does come we're prepared i guess
- this is just on my text 1984 im not sure how well this fits for other texts

Is it a bad idea to neglect English for now until 3 days before (when I’ll purely do English) if I have all my essays prepared
I don’t wanna do all English then not do my other subjects

ur justification doesnt make sense i dont understand why ur saying no
??? his question was whether there was some secret rule that you have to talk about magi if the question is about textual integrity. last year the question was on textual integrity. i have seen band 6 essays for that essay question that do not talk about magi. wait so why dosent that make sense

yeah but the magis structure+use of language does serve a purpose. and it is the final poem of the suite so it shows progression from his previous poems. personally I WOULD add magi in my essay, bcs i did that in trials and my question was about textual integrity and i got a good mark for mod b.
the hsc is in under a week so i would NOT do that if magi is their weaker poem (which i assume it is if they are concerned about having to use it)

just because its an exemplar doesnt mean you can not talk about another poem and still get an exemplar. if the poem is assigned to mod b it has textual integrity???????
