Negin Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 I'd help you, but I have no idea what a SWA even is. But I think websites like SparksNotes, PinkMonkey, or CliffsNotes might be able to help you. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBStuck Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 what is a SWA? i wrote my EE on Lord of the Flies so i can help you if you just tell me what an SWA is. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aether Posted November 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 what is a SWA? i wrote my EE on Lord of the Flies so i can help you if you just tell me what an SWA is.Sorry, didn't know people weren't familiar with the term. A SWA is a Short Written Assignment we do in English, which is our Language A2. A SWA can be of 3 different types depending on how you want to write it: Poetic, Mass and Professionnal ( I don't really remember if you call it this way) communication. Poetic are things like diaries, poems, pastiche, novella, drama, songs, letters. Mass are things like essay, speeches, reports, pamphlet etc. Professional are things like professional letters, I have never actually written any of the professional ones.

IBStuck Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 so what kind of help are you looking for specifically? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertomx Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Oh those are Written Tasks. I'd help you but you'd need to be more specific in terms of what you'd like to do or something. You could choose a specific character/event to focus on and then decide what option to use in order to reflect your understanding of it. That's what I usually do Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aether Posted November 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 After burning my brain, I finished doing an interview to Jack Merridew. In this interview, he changes the way things happened to put him in a "good light" and out of blames. I wanted to do something involved with what would have happened if instead of boys, they were girls.. or if there would had been at least one girl in the group.. but my teacher discouraged it. what do you think?

IBStuck Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 well merit your topic is way to broad. you neeed something more specific if it needs to be short. perhaps you shouold try to pick a specific time that is importantto the book such as when the conversation goes on with the lord of the files,and work with a section like that.

Capa Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 When I read the first post I thought I would love to help you because I have read and worked a lot with the book, but I had no clue what a SWA was Now when that is sorted: I love that book and I reccommend you to compare it in some way to the real world. This can for instance be in term of politics or the human society.You can also try to analyse the author's pessimism. I did that once and it was very interesting.Capa...!

Aether Posted February 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Well, thanks for all your help, but I got back the SWA and I got 10/10... still wonder what it would have been like if the boys were girls... Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
