I don't really know any other discussion questions. I'm just trying to annotate at the moment. Do you have any idea how much we're allowed to write on them. All they've said is "not a lot", but that's vague as hell... and believe me, hell is ****ing vague. -

It's a specific term for a European in colonial India.

hahaha that made me laugh a lot!! well i think short annotations in note form are fine.. not full sentences and writing all over the damn thing.. so eg. feels trapped as asians do

I've been looking at Items 2-4, and they're pretty complex. I realise that Item 2 is neutral, Item 3 is anti-imperialist, while Item 4 is very obviously pro-imperialist. But what sort of things should we annotate on them?

as i remember, Orwell watched an indian be hanged for a crime - i can't remember which , and this finally made him become anti-colonial - Orwell is an anti-Stalinist Socialist and he hated the idea of Imperial Colonialism

what befuddles me is why do AQA have Orwell as a suggested A2 coursework option - Orwell and 1984 and then have him as pre-release?? surely they could have chosen something else ! i'm sick of Orwell ! i nearly went mental because of him and coursework

i think just knowing that is pretty much a lot of whats needed to understand them... just imagine if the question was "how far do extracts 2,3,4 help you understand extract 1" what you would say.. (i only keep coming back to that question becasue a variation of that question has come up in every past paper we did) -

I've been cross-referencing points to the main story (eg. when it says in Item 2 "the British Empire had passed its peak", I X-ref'd it to the story's "I did not even know that the British Empire is dying") using a complex system of codes, such as A13 for Item 1 Page 1 Paragraph 3. Very odd. -

I think just underlining and X-reffing is enough for the critical Items - the main notes should be on Item One. -
