Why is everyone saying the question on Boo Radley? The question was about 'Mockingbirds' so Tom Robinson is a biggie.

Wuthering Heights! I was the only one who liked it.And Romeo and Juliet as our Shakespeare. And the god awful Short Stories for the exam :frown:

Which will lead to me failing!

Hmm I thought it was okay, although I didn't quite get that prestigious A*; definitely more difficult than the language/coursework side. There was a massive hoo-ha over the grading of it though, loads were sent back to be re-marked.

For coursework we did:
Romeo & Juliet
Inspector calls
Great Expectations

And for the exam we did the short stories as there wasn't enough time for a whole novel.

Because we did AQA, i'm guessing you did Edexcel/OCR or somthing, but the question was out board was somthing like: How is Boo Radley porteyed by Harper Lee, talk about how he is used etc..
What was your question?

I studied Act 3, Scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet for my coursework (I ended up with a B on that, thankfully) and we did a book of short stories called Opening Worlds, which was a load of stories from other cultures, for the exam. I can't remember for the life of me what exam board I was with, though. I got a C overall, so I was pleased!

For GCSE we studied:
To Kill and Mockingbird, An Inspector Calls, Romeo and Juliet and Far from the Madding Crowd. And possibly Much Ado About Nothing, although I believe that was year 9 with Pride and Prejudice.
