Here is a quick breakdown of the contextual issues and styles reflected in Blade Runner. Rather than give you straight out answers, I’ve constructed a series of leading questions (with links to where you can read up on the answer).

This English Advanced Module A: Comparative Study of Texts and Contexts – Elective 2: Texts in Time – Frankenstein and Blade Runner is a bit to find questions to practice on, because pre-2009, the Elective was “Into the Wild” and the texts were Brave New World and Blade Runner.
As such, I’ve still put the past HSC questions below, but I’ve modified them slightly to say “Frankenstein” and “Texts in Time” instead. Substantively, the HSC questions may be different now in that they won’t focus on humanity and nature so much (which was what “Into the Wild” was about). Instead they may focus more on texts and contexts.
The practice questions used by high schools etc are all from 2009 though and have not been modified by me.
So how should you use these questions?
