    I studied Romeo & Juliet, Tennyson and Owen poetry and Great Expectations for my coursework.

    For my exam I did the play Whose Life is it Anyway?, war poetry and a collection of short stories. They were so utterly **** - they were translated too, not even written in English, no wonder they made no sense!

    I did OCR btw

    I did:
    *To Kill a Mockingbird (for exam)
    *Frankenstein
    *Blood Brothers (for exam)
    *Macbeth

    & a poetry anthology (for exam)

    I thought all the literature I studied was really good.

    Re: Which Books did you study for gcse english/lit?
    -Jekyll and Hyde (for coursework)
    -A Midsummer Night's Dream (for coursework)
    -Blood Brothers (for coursework)

    and then for the exam instead of a book we studied 'short stories'. You guys who studied a book for the exam are so lucky, I really wish I had done a book.

    I have also studied romeo and juliet :smile:, the crucible :grin: and jane eyre :sleep:

    same, did the boo radley one, but i had like a mindblock and couldn't remember anything. i repeated myself about 50 times about how boo is portreyed as the mockingbird and a mirror to tom rob! LOL. i think i'll get like a C for that, but hopefully my poetry will bring it up a bit, it was ok...i did storm on the island, patrolling barnegat, the field mouse and sonnet!
