take home exams.

James' Take Home Exam (take that HSTY 2009!):
Students must answer two questions. You must not use the same material twice. Also you can't answer two questions referencing the same material.

1. 'I wish Brian could speak so he could say 'I love you' back to me':
- Is Brian my elderly mute lover or just a small dog? Discuss

2. Critically analyse the way Brads jaw clicks when he chews.

3. If Ng was to wear white tennis shorts to a party at the Mandarin Club, to listen to Levins play mash ups of Britney and Gwen Stefani in an ironic display of coolness would you go? How many more layers does this story need to be postmodern?

4. 'It's like 10 000 spoons when all you need is a knife' - Alanis Morissette
Discuss with regard to irony.

5. Explain with reference to Foucault why Goonbag likes going to Cargo Bar so much.

6. Critically analyse End of Fashion's appearance at the Arias. Cutting edge young talent or wankers with shit hair? If you were Luke Steele would you be upset that
a) That guy from End of Fashion is going out with your sister
b) You kicked him out your band, only to have him form a new band that sold more records than 'Sleepy Jackson'.
c) Your little sisters band is also doing better than your band.
d) Ironically, in the last year, the only time anyone heard 'Sleepy Jackson on the radio' this year was indirectly through a catchy Ben Lee song.

7. Explain in less than 50 words why you would like to work at General Pants Co.
