Atticus, such a good book theres so many themes in it though so questions on the paper could literally be on anything.

It would be nice to get Atticus' speech. Has that come up before?

Apparently the theme of education hasn't come up before.. and it's pretty big
I prefer the passage questions.. just analysing language really :rolleyes:

same, don't really enjoy the part b of the question paper. its so hard to write a perfect essay in such a small amount of time, i guess practice makes perfect really, english is defiantly not my forte to be honest.

definitely*

Anyone doing An Inspector Calls?

I'm doing Of Mice and Men and An Inspector Calls, they're not too complex and I can't imagine studying TKAM it's so long :eek:

I've just got a booklet of hand written notes on the main events and characters of the novel, don't really have any major resources on this novel, might purchase one of them revision guides.

Hi I'm doing character and voice, the crucible and omam.

I'm finding the crucible really difficult, I wish we could study an inspector calls instead. :frown:

I find the characters really difficult to write about, and there's just too much going on I find it so overwhelming.
How are you getting around this, has anyone who is studying/has studied the crucible got any advice? :smile:

I want to optimise my chances of getting a good grade in Lit

I study The Crucible too
I think re-reading it might help?
What anthology cluster do you do?

Yes I am going to have to fit that in :frown:

And I have my controlled assessment next week its so stressful.
I do character and voice, what about you? I'm okay with the poetry. Feeling more confident about it now that I've been to poetry live.

I'm not sadly! The Woman in Black is meant to be so good! Some of my friends are though!
There's a lot of schools that do the relationships cluster though!
Have you finished studying them all?

ah ok! we've just finished our poetry study. woman in black is good but in my opinion mister pip is so monotonous -_- i've had to read it about 4 times to understand it properly...
