Sux4u. Well then it's your own fault that English Lit fails for you. My teacher encourages us to put down our own thoughts, as there is never a right answer.
I absolutely love studying poetry! I've just finished cluster 1, or 2, or whichever cluster includes Vultures and Limbo (LIMBO.. LIKE ME).
I'm...just going kill myself

In my lit classes, my teachers always marked us on how well we presented our ideas, not whether or not they matched that the teacher saw. As long as you were able to back up your answers, you were ok.
Blame the WJEC. I could scan pieces of work where I have crosses with 'Not really' written above them

You probably worded them wrong, or didn't link it to a quote or it was extremely ludicrousOriginally Posted by Old Manus

Up here, they just gave us texts that were so utterly boring, that you wouldn't WANT to form your own opinion on it, so we pretty much wrote the same essay for any question asked, but change the wording a bit. It still sucks though.
I give up. I hated English Lit, whether I was good at it or not.

That is so true Manus ; ;
I love to read, but my English class kills if for me. I can't spend more than two weeks on a book or I get bored. SO SO BORED. Especially when the book's already boring. I try and read a more interesting book, but NEW I have to read The Scarlet Letter, a somewhat interesting book with too much imagery. TOO. MUCH. Yes, yes, the forest is pretty, Pearl can touch the sunlight and Hester can't 'cause she cheated on her husband with a holy man. Yes. I get it. Get on with the story.
....anyway.
I absolutely HATE it when people I barely know think they're allowed to criticize my hygienic habits when my acne gets really bad just because they have acne too.
English lit was crap. Listening to fifteen and sixteen year olds fail to read Catcher in the Rye was depressing.
IT'S A BIT LATE TO COME TO MY AID GUYS

Cluster 1, Other Cultures iirc. Limbo was about slavery and rape. :(
Catcher in the Rye was depressing. I had to read it twice, TWICE. I did my English Lit GCSE a year early (yes, I love it that much ;]) and Catcher was, annoyingly, the book we had to do it on so my teacher made us all read it twice in lessons. It was torture. I had to listen to my teacher try and do an American accent and most of the time I was 5 pages ahead of the class.
I thought so. Yeah, I know D: I just remember doing it first in year 9 and our teacher played a recording of the poet speaking it, and it was hilarious xD 'Limbo.. limbo.. like me!'. I really like 'Vultures'! I really hope it isnt 'What were they like?' that I have to analyse for my English Lang GCSE this year :3Cluster 1, Other Cultures iirc. Limbo was about slavery and rape.
I really enjoyed English Literature and - in another life - I'd be at university studying it now, had I not decided to take a gap year at the last moment back in May. In college I've had teachers that encouraged us to find our own meanings from the poetry and discussed our ideas on a class-wide basis with everyone being encouraged to contribute and (provided you had the evidence to back it up) nobody was wrong, really. I really enjoyed English and was very good at it, though I think the class thought I was better at it than I was.
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
This thread brings back memories. ;[
They should really be aware that acne isn't affected by hygiene if they have it.
