I'm an AS student atm and we do AQA Specification B. We basically look at it through the eyes of the genre of Tragedy (other specifications are completely different). It's actually really interesting and you explore texts in a much more perceptive light compared to GCSE. I also feel more liberty with essays and almost imbued with more creativity. The texts we do for AS are: King Lear, Tess of the d'Urbervilles, Thomas Hardy poetry, Death of A Salesman.
