Arrowhead Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Maybe the connection in writing between food and sex? And what that symbolises or indicates or signals for character and plot development? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakasha Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Thankyou so much! But then would i just be talking about the connection food has to the sexual acts and how both of those help develop the characters? I'm stressing out Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sakasha Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Because i've never done an IOP before and we don't get another chance and its 15% of my final IB grade Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrowhead Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Because i've never done an IOP before and we don't get another chance and its 15% of my final IB grade'So practice in your bedroom or in a classroom with different audiences. Plan the entire thing out. When I did the IOP, we had to expect a few questions from the audience, then the teacher at the end. I planted 3 questions with my friends who were in my English class and then made sure there was just enough time for two questions from the teacher. Have everything down pat and you won't need to stress.Have a few friends watch your IOP a day or two before and get their feedback on how to improve/be more engaging/etc.Best of luck!

susanne Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 free/open sexuality as a pathsway/expression of freedom? linking it to suppression and how even though Tita is being suppressed by the patriarch society, she could let the repression out through food and you-know-what?
