Lit / Lang / Land L: both! A2 Eng lang, and A2 Eng lit (2 seperate A levels, not the combined one) *english junkie*
Level you're taking: A2
Board: AQA for both I think.
Set books / work / topics:
Eng Lit first as that's easier: Othello and William Blake. For the synopic unit we've been set Bird Song to read, and I'm reading loads of other WW1 related literature. For my comparative study I'm doing The Lovely Bones and Tess of the D'urbervilles. Last year I did Hamlet (cwk), Enduring Love, Dr Faustus and The Worlds Wife- Duffy.
Eng Lang: We don't really have any set texts, I'm just reading everything as wider reading and the fact I'm in love with the subject! Topics wise- at A2- Language Change, Editorial Writing and Language Investigation coursework.

Books: Silvia Plath - The Bell Jar (Coursework), J.D. Salinger - Catcher in the Rye (Coursework), Oliver Goldsmith - She Stoops to Conquer, Geoffrey Chaucer - The Canterbury Tales and I'm not sure about the other to be honest. I don't think it has been decided.
