Depends on how they write it out la.Originally posted by RFAddiction:For the Source E in the Source Based questions
"No water no electricy...no problem, We have the bomb."
Some of my friends took it literally and not as sarcastic humour. Does anyone know if they will or can be penalised? -
really? then how sia? never take?Originally posted by spadeTwo:haha, i cant wake up for the paper -
i found the source E in question : http://www.inesap.org/bulletin16/bul16art02.htm (at the bottom of the page)
and i really want to say that i seriously think it is a sacarstic remark. i'll tell you why
like if i was poor for example, n u do know that the indian ppl have quite bad lives and they don't really support the gov alot, like the facts that officials are corrupt and so forth, anyway, if i were poor and had no basics, n the gov started building bombs instead of giving me things like water. here my family is, dehydrated and so forth. i would be angry. and i don't think i would be proud when the gov priorities something as 'useless' as bombs over the people of india. because bombs were not necessary in the first place.
do you see my point? -
Which brings me back to my point. The point of starting a march in India is to showcase one's unhappiness at something. Dont tell me people will go start a march to showcase their pride and joy? If u put yourself in that Indian's shoes, why isn it possible for you to express that through sarcasm?Originally posted by RFAddiction:i found the source E in question : http://www.inesap.org/bulletin16/bul16art02.htm (at the bottom of the page)

historyOriginally posted by Dead_Man_Inc:wats ur other combined subject? -
well not all will think its an act of sarcasm...my teacher told me depends on how u answer the qn..
-
it is sarcasm.
the people are able to realise that the government has adequate financial resources to fund the nuclear programme.
if they had that money, why had it not been used on them instead, as they needed it more than some nuclear programme?
can cross-reference to source c, where the scientists say that there is also no threat to India's national security.
moreover, it is stated at the top of source E that the Indian people are in a MARCH, who will march to voice their agreement...waste of time init?
so yeah, there you have it, frighteningly easy paper, seriously, moment I saw Venice I just keep on writing for about 40 mins straight. lolol -
Do we end off with evaluating message and purpose of the source for that?
