# The thing about doing a year 12 exam is that promptly afterwards, everyone you know starts asking how you went. The definitive answer is that I went okay; I can’t think of any glaring problems with any essay I wrote. The topics were uninspiring, especially the media analysis article, which was rubbish. I usually don’t care how boring the issue is, even if it’s about cutting down trees, because I enjoy deconstructing the manipulative language used by people to persuade. People can actually be sneaky and manipulative on the most mundane of issues (see trees). But this time, we got an article where barely any persuasive techniques were used at all. Disappointment.
