Tasmanian Qualifications Authority English – Writing ENW315109 TQA Student ID: 13X35189 Reflective Statement Expressing my own thoughts into writing has never been a real enjoyment; it probably has to do with my school education where we were asked to refer to the context of the books as learning materials as opposed to pure enjoyment. Education in Australia is very different to where I come from; it requires selflearning and self-reflection for overall development and self-improvement. Obviously the word “self” is important in education in Australia and from this perspective learning has become so much more real and enjoyable. One of the main reasons to choose English Writing is to express my thoughts, opinions and arguments in writing which I have never been encouraged to do before. Over the course of study I have developed various skills learnt different literary techniques and increased my vocabulary. This course is a very good platform for me to prepare myself for university, but I have been allowed to have an opinion, challenge and live in a world of fiction. Of course I am man enough to admit that it hasn’t been easy. I have found...

...Audience Profiling: Audience profiling enables a media company to reduce the audience/customers down to find their target audience. It’d essential for a media business to find their target audience before they market a new product for example a documentary) so they can get the best outcome and also best outcome financially. A target audience is an audience obviously, but it has interests in connections to the media product that a company is trying to make money by selling it. This allows media companies to trim down an audience to find their target audience. Its essential media companies find their audience before they send a product to market, so they can get the best results and profit. For instance it could be documentary on mafias, they could show it to a small target audience as they I have connections in terms of interests. When a media company is identifying an audience to find their target audience some of the factors they must consider are… Age – Gender – Religion – Race – Sexuality – Education – Occupation – Annual income – Disposable income – Current and desired lifestyle – Media interests – Buying habits – Loyalty to brands – Quantitative research: Quantitative research is a method used by producers to shape their targeted audience. This way it allows media producers to see the viewing figures on selected TV channels. In my opinion this way of doing it does not really help producers who are working on documentaries...

...and Schools of Criticism Introduction A very basic way of thinking about literary theory is that these ideas act as different lenses critics use to view and talk about art, literature, and even culture. These different lenses allow critics to consider works of art based on certain assumptions within that school of theory. The different lenses also allow critics to focus on particular aspects of a work they consider important. For example, if a critic is working with certain Marxist theories, s/he might focus on how the characters in a story interact based on their economic situation. If a critic is working with post-colonial theories, s/he might consider the same story but look at how characters from colonial powers (Britain, France, and even America) treat characters from, say, Africa or the Caribbean. Hopefully, after reading through and working with the resources in this area of the OWL, literary theory will become a little easier to understand and use. Disclaimer Please note that the schools of literary criticism and their explanations included here are by no means the only ways of distinguishing these separate areas of theory. Indeed, many critics use tools from two or more schools in their work. Some would define differently or greatly expand the (very) general statements given here. Our explanations are meant only as starting places for your own investigation into literary theory. We encourage you to use the list of scholars and works provided for each school to further...

...MODULE C – History and Memory Sample 1 How has your understanding of events, personalities or situations been shaped by their representations in the texts you have studied. Refer to your prescribed text and at least TWO other related texts of your own choosing. History can be defined as “the methodical record of public events” where memory is defined as “the faculty by which events are recalled or kept in mind”. Thus history and memory interrelate as history can be seen as the contextual justification for memory. “The Fiftieth Gate” is a poignant interweaving of history and memory. The text follows protagonist, Mark Baker an historian, son of Holocaust survivors Genia and Yossl (Joe), on an historical journey through memory, to uncover the origins of his past and act as a catalyst for future generations to also connect with their history. Mark Baker’s journey through history and memory is also executed through his conventional ideas that memory is biased and less valid than history. There are numerous references to the discrepancies between the personal memories of his parents and the documented history Mark as an historian believes. In this way it is apparent that Mark is on a quest for verification, “my facts from the past are different”. This displays the flaw Mark traditionally notes in memory and his need for historical evidence. As responders accompany Mark on his journey, they also encounter the complexity of simultaneously being a son and an historian. This...

...Bibliography…………..…………………………………………………21 Chapter 1 1.0 Introduction. The value of money depends upon price level of commodities. When the price level rises, the value of money decreases and this may also be opposite. The changes in the value of money can affect different sections of the community. For instant, when the price level goes up, businessmen, industrialists and peasants gain, but fixed income earners and consumers lose, the opposite of this is also true (Saleemi, 1987). When prices rise, production of commodities increases, employment level rise, but on the other hand income distribution in the case of those who earn high, those who earn low as well as those who earn nothing is completely unfair. In addition, when price has a falling trend, the level of production...

Why had she been one of only three students with wheelchairs at the entire university? “The other two wheelchair riders were Australian students,” she says today. “I asked myself the question—where are the other people with disabilities, and why aren’t more people with disabilities able to have this type of study experience?” Her time in Australia, she says, was life-changing. “In between semesters, a friend and I got to hitchhike through New Zealand for six weeks,” she says...
