In your response, draw on your knowledge and understanding of the elective you have studied in Module B. 8 Question 6 Elective 1: The Individual and Society (25 marks) This idea that individuals can ever be autonomous from the society in which they live is nonsense. In setting my text in the nineteenth century I wanted to explore just how hard it is for any individual especially a woman to determine freely a sense of self. If you, encountering my text, still think that freedom is possible, that is an illusion created by you, not by me. The provided text reveals an imagined composer s thoughts. Evaluate the extent to which these thoughts express ways of thinking in this elective, and how those ways of thinking are shaped in texts.

OR Question 7 Elective 2: Postmodernism (25 marks) What I love most about my work is the freedom to experiment. I m free to use complexity or simplicity; to suspend or uphold the rules. Art must challenge. Play is energy. How creative is it to present you with what you expect or already know? After all, I m not the only one creating this text, am I?

What I ve tried to do in my work is to ground these issues. I ve tried to confront the effect of global change on me and my local community. Did I manage to hold onto those things that are meaningful to me? I thought that was important, but I ve discovered through composing that there are more complex possibilities. And I hope my work challenges you as a reader to explore these too. The provided text reveals an imagined composer s thoughts. Evaluate the extent to which these thoughts express ways of thinking in this elective, and how these ways of thinking are shaped in texts.

It s interesting. I now read and value texts in new ways. Earlier assumptions I had have been replaced. Reading has become for me both problematic, and deeply satisfying. I am certainly now more aware of the rich processes involved in making meaning from texts. The provided text reveals an imagined reader s thoughts.

OR 14 Question 11 Elective 2: The Language of Sport (25 marks) Sport? When I pick up the paper it s the first thing I read. Sure you need to know who won and lost, but it s more than that: it s passion, excitement, skill, heartbreak, teamwork and heroics, power and politics. Sport defines who I am, and what I am. What more do you need? The provided text reveals an imagined reader s thoughts. Evaluate the extent to which these thoughts express the relationships between language, culture and values in this elective. In your response, refer to the provided text AND TWO prescribed texts AND other texts of your own choosing. The prescribed texts for this elective are listed on page 16. OR Question 12 Elective 3: Gendered Language (25 marks) I used to think that language was just sexist: a male language for a male world. No room for difference. But through my reading I have discovered that texts are actually invigorated by gendered language and gendered roles. Forget the old proprieties. Ditch the tired rules. Let s go for exuberance, role play, freedom, innovation. The provided text reveals an imagined reader s thoughts. Evaluate the extent to which these thoughts express the relationships between language, culture and values in this elective.
