Maybe it's just a female thing. The only people who were actually interested in the subject iirc were girls, the rest of us slept.
Not necessarily, cause I know examiner's and teachers support you to put down your own ideas, so I find them having a marking scheme quite ludicrous and I don't believe you! It's marked on how you've explained yourself, and what points you have made. You could say that a character adds depth but someone else could say it adds humour and how could an examiner say which is right without being one sided?

What about poetry? I bet you read your Anthology every night ;D
