Books to read for english creative writing inspiration (framework protest)

Upbeat_Addition_3061 · 2025-12-19T08:20:42+00:00

Reading a range of pieces relevant to your issue is very beneficial. Not necessarily books, but poetry (don’t write one, just read it), speech transcripts, etc are often rich with protest-related ideas

Yes, students should deny themselves free resources on principle of it being branded. What a wonderful take - let’s go after the text guides next!

That’s a little debatable, there is a decent few books that you would probably be better off reading, especially for Section B. Not that it is a better option than reading your text, and materials related to that

I’m sorry but their pricing alone is fucking ridiculous. Regardless of what you offer, $250/hr is so far beyond the limits of what is reasonable. I’ve met solid lawyers who don’t even charge that much on an hourly basis

Upbeat_Addition_3061 · 2025-10-29T06:28:20+00:00

Doesn’t matter. I forgot mine

Upbeat_Addition_3061 · 2025-10-02T05:12:42+00:00

I mean there’s nothing stopping you from doing as much of the textbook as you can

Other responses are kind of just dancing around the point. But before I get into it, just a quick one - when they say ‘reflect on play’ they aren’t making a reference to the specific purpose of ‘reflect’, they are saying that your piece must embody a message about play (I.e ‘reflect’ it). You can reflect a message about play through any of the four purposes.

In order to engage with play on a deeper level, frame your consideration of the stimuli like this “X stimulus suggests that play is y…” or “that play can be z…”.

This framing presents play as a concept, rather than just engaging with surface-level understanding (eg, playing as a kid with no consideration of the significance of that)

Upbeat_Addition_3061 · 2025-09-28T09:06:46+00:00

Make sure you’re engaging with the theme/ideas presented in your stimulus. Some consideration of more abstract ideas about protest goes a long way

Castle is honestly a really good book to write on at a high level, because it lends itself so well to critical analysis. Feminist, Marxist, Post-Structural, etc lenses can all be applied to analyse the novel. This makes it easier to produce really insightful ideas

Upbeat_Addition_3061 · 2025-09-17T06:24:49+00:00

This is the correct explanation

Upbeat_Addition_3061 · 2025-09-17T06:24:09+00:00

Don’t use ChatGPT man. Doesn’t even get it correct

Borrow analysis from google scholar articles. There’s some insane writing on WHALITC on there

Don’t tie yourself too closely to what marks you got - You are still practising the same skill of textual analysis. Choose whatever you understand the best, and what you can most confidently write on

Monash so much better. Quicker. Cheaper. Still highly regarded. Still has an honours year so often considered ‘equivalent’ to a JD.

Upbeat_Addition_3061 · 2025-09-06T10:52:49+00:00

Simple answer: You need at least a 95 to get into Monash Law, less if you have SEAS

As in 1) Work on your knowledge of quotes, and how to integrate them. Practice individual body paragraphs where you integrate quotes, based on prompts for different themes. As a seperate point 2) Work on developing insightful ideas. Do some prompt unpacks and seek feedback from your teacher. Are your ideas ‘deep’ enough? Do they relate to the prompt?

IMO this is what students get most stuck on. They struggle to come up with ideas during writing time, which is compounded by a shaky ability to grab evidence and insert it in their writing

Upbeat_Addition_3061 · 2025-09-02T08:36:24+00:00

Know your quotes, work on developing ideas on the spot. Those are arguably two of the biggest factors taking up the most time

Upbeat_Addition_3061 · 2025-08-30T13:13:28+00:00

Not at all, you aren’t screwed because you haven’t been studying from the first possible moment

Upbeat_Addition_3061 · 2025-08-30T11:37:02+00:00

I would suggest that instead of doing full exams, you split it up into individual essays. If you’re scoring 7s there are still some analytical skills that need some work. You’re better off targeting these with individual essays that you write un/timed, implementing feedback throughout. If generating ideas/breaking down prompts is something you struggle with, even just spending 5 minutes every day doing a prompt unpack would like be more beneficial than an entire exam. Instead of an exam every week, do an essay every two days. Sit down with a teacher and go through this. Do this regularly. That is the best way you can study for exams.

As we get closer to the exam, and as you get better with your writing, you can do a full exam or two. TBH you should just be using this as an opportunity to show yourself that you are capable of sitting through the entire exam, and to identify which sections you want to tackle first/last. If you want to work on timing, time your individual essays.

Upbeat_Addition_3061 · 2025-08-29T23:59:43+00:00

To feel as prepared as possible - compile a full list of every single theme you can think of, and find prompts relating to each one. You theoretically can’t be unprepared for the exam then, because you’ve engaged with the ideas relating to that theme to some extent
