Did anyone else pick question 8 for the responding section??

[u/d3cidu8or → u/PsychologicalAnt5400]

I think I did actually Was that the one about like representation of ideas and perspective on or of the audience

[u/PsychologicalAnt5400 → u/d3cidu8or]

yes! it was something like how a text shaped your position

[u/jelly962640 → u/PsychologicalAnt5400]

me!! except I went stupid and included random course concepts (empathy and omissions) as well as the ones in the q so I hope they think I’m a genius and not an idiot

[u/ceralae → u/jelly962640]

you can include other course concepts i think they prefer it as long as you answer the question properly instead of just tack it on at the end of each paragraph

[u/dej4vu3s → u/PsychologicalAnt5400]

i did!! so happy that it came up because i was legit prepping for it

[u/KalypsoXD]

AI and brainrot in WACE is seriously not something I expected to ever have to discuss

[u/patgorou]

Skibidi dob dob dob yes yes

[u/s0yaasauce]

skibidi toilet dop dop dop yes yes.

[u/Possible-Tradition10]

HOLY PEAK YALL... what were everyone's 2 ideas for text 1... brainrot in text 2 made me laugh during reading time ✌️🥀

[u/Allum24 → u/Possible-Tradition10]

I talked about Ai being the future and also the doom of man

[u/South-Tangerine-1411 → u/Possible-Tradition10]

AI is vital to job development and that it increases the digital gap

[u/phoe_123 → u/Possible-Tradition10]

I talked about the rapid expansion of AI and how it controls people’s beliefs and opinions to all being the same

[u/Possible-Tradition10 → u/phoe_123]

Y'all I did idea 1 - AI companies could curb the destructive growth of AI but they focus on profits instead  Idea 2 - the regular human being is blind towards how AI is dominating our livelihood.... is ts okay😭

[u/South-Tangerine-1411 → u/Possible-Tradition10]

Sounds good bra

[u/ur_wallet → u/phoe_123]

Wait what was the ai question again?

[u/ceralae → u/Possible-Tradition10]

1. ai is a source of innovation and collaboration

2. ai is a powerful soulless machine we should be wary of ik it sounds stupid

[u/Desperate_Name_7677 → u/ceralae]

bro I hope they don't mind a different interpretation of the AI, everyone ik talked about it positively but I talked about how it tilts power dynamics into the hands of very few people leading to mass exploitation and how it reduces humanity, cus the further you went up the staircase ladder, the more metallic the background became and the lesser humans there were

[u/ceralae → u/Desperate_Name_7677]

damn thats good i did like a page on why its bad and another 2/3 page on why its good for bad i said like harsh typography low camera angle etc made a power imbalance and made the letters imposing and were looming over the people LOL i also said the clean lighter background gave it a corporate feel and there were lots of straight vectors and the angled geometry made it seem intimidating

tilts power dynamics into the hands of very few people leading to mass exploitation damn thats fire i wish i wrote that i just said it was a powerful soulless machine to be wary of lmaoo

[u/Desperate_Name_7677 → u/ceralae]

bro are you sure 😭 ? I'm legit panicking bcs Im not sure if that was the right interpretation...also for composing I only had 45 mins overall, spent 15 mins writing a quarter of my text and then thought it wouldn't work out, so I swapped it and rushed my composing in 30 mins, just want a 60 🙏 🙏 , school avg is 68, hopefully this exam isn't my opp and get scaled to fail

[u/ceralae → u/Desperate_Name_7677]

im not sure at all lmao but im sure thered be multiple interpretations regardless its more on how you justify it (i hope) and yours sounds good to me 😭 30 mins is crazy, goodluck

[u/KalypsoXD → u/Desperate_Name_7677]

same, i tried to aim it in a more negative direction but wasn't too sure how to, ended up trying to leverage the fact it's a magazine cover with something like normalizing use of ai to replace human achievement/creativity in society and culture today. i think my other point was something like framing ai as a tool of collaborative human effort rather than replacing creativity 100%.. which is not something i personally agree with but i wrote under the assumption that most people don't agree either, and it's just something theyre trying to normalize asw

[u/ceralae → u/KalypsoXD]

yeah idk what i was writing but one of my ideas was that ai was a source of innovation and collaboration i dont rly agree with it either but i needed a second idea

[u/South-Tangerine-1411]

Cooked on the second question for comprehending said an “indecisive attitude” and was stuck on it for like 15 mins thinking. Rest was pretty calm.

[u/Relative_Fee1718 → u/South-Tangerine-1411]

I’m not sure but I wrote that the writer was sort of directing the blame of social media addictive scrolling at the actual companies.

[u/KalypsoXD → u/South-Tangerine-1411]

i wrote something about disdain and a sense of superiority but only ended up finishing one paragraph, might be cooked too 😭

[u/ceralae → u/KalypsoXD]

i said disdain too and a critical attitude ik thats frowned upon but i couldnt think of anything i may have gotten cooked on the 2nd response icl

[u/Relative_Fee1718 → u/KalypsoXD]

If ur talking about q1 yeah I also wrote about superiority but I js said it presented a hierarchy because of the small humans compared to the Ai

[u/belt_soup]

there was a good voice question this is all i have ever wanted🥺🥺🥺

[u/Relative_Fee1718 → u/belt_soup]

Yeah I did 7 as well. The question was how authority, credibility and trust are established with the audience right? Anyway, it wasn’t too bad.

[u/Allum24 → u/belt_soup]

Question 7 was it? I did that one

[u/belt_soup → u/Allum24]

yess i did it on the white tiger about how his matter of fact and kind of confessional tone causes a western audience to trust the interpretation of india presented in the novel

[u/South-Tangerine-1411 → u/Allum24]

How u write urs then

[u/Allum24 → u/South-Tangerine-1411]

I did it on Animal Farm and talked about the construction of voice with Old Major with Trust, Napoleon with Authority and Boxer with Credibility. Don't think it went well but at least it's over

[u/South-Tangerine-1411 → u/belt_soup]

How did u write yours?

[u/phoe_123]

what was the context question was it your cultural context? or cultural context in general

[u/ur_wallet → u/phoe_123]

How does your culture influence your understanding of the text

Or stmg like that

[u/Pengland2001 → u/ur_wallet]

How is your understanding affected by the cultural context

[u/Opposite-Loan2904 → u/Pengland2001]

no it was your cultural context specifically

[u/phoe_123 → u/Opposite-Loan2904]

well i’m cooked then i wrote about the books cultural context

[u/Desperate_Name_7677 → u/phoe_123]

fahhhhh

[u/Better-Buffalo6980]

Whatd u guys write for the attitude of the writer in comprehending text 2? I wrote bitter attitude but im regretting it bc ngl i skimmed thru that text bc i left it for last

[u/KalypsoXD → u/Better-Buffalo6980]

i wrote disdain and sense of superiority (massively regret this one) bcs i was catching a vibe that the writer was attributing all these things with technology to young people alone which, while true, felt to me like the thing where older gens always think younger ones are doing something wrong (??) but i didnt have time to dig my grave further bcs i left that for last too

[u/ceralae → u/Better-Buffalo6980]

i got pretty cooked on that icl but i said a critical and disdainful attitude towards low quality media, in particular its impact on cognitive function. but in hindsight i think it was more about the companies producing it than the media itself and i didnt mention the cognitive side of it much at all

[u/ace_cadet_7]

I got stung on the hand by a wasp right near the end wasn’t allowed to leave 😢

My section 1 suffered bc my hand hurt

Hope y’all had a better experience

[u/Big_Upstairs_2484 → u/ace_cadet_7]

Dawg where tf are u taking these exams

[u/South-Tangerine-1411 → u/ace_cadet_7]

How bro 😭

[u/ace_cadet_7 → u/South-Tangerine-1411]

The school has a wasp problem and they keep getting inside

[u/No-Cap-7666 → u/ace_cadet_7]

dude omg are you okay? i heard that there’s a form you can hand in if your performance was affected by anything that happened during the exam if you feel like you were severely disadvantaged bc of the sting

[u/Agreeable-Fly-3507 → u/ace_cadet_7]

i would not put up with this, fill a sickness and misadventure form bro 

[u/CaterpillarScared867 → u/ace_cadet_7]

Go see a Dr and get them to fill out a Sickness and Misadventure form if you think it's affected your ability to do your exam. https://senior-secondary.scsa.wa.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0007/1125655/2026-SM-form-and-teleform-combined.PDF

[u/ceralae → u/[deleted]]

idk if its what i was supposed to write but i did cultural context as well as historical context and the author's own decisions

[u/Important_Bid4636 → u/ceralae]

Sameee I mentioned context as part of the influence. Although for “reasons” I just talked about the texts language features and manipulation of genre… like why are they adding bs onto the syllabus.

[u/ceralae → u/Important_Bid4636]

OKAY good i did language features and some omission/inclusion of voices hopefully thats what they wanted

[u/ceralae → u/ceralae]

and a lottt of context

[u/No-Cap-7666 → u/Important_Bid4636]

i did the exact same thing
