Ooo I did Lord of the Flies too. It's a great book to analyse :h:

I hope you enjoy doing Spanish! It's a lovely language :smile:
Philosophy + Ethics and Biology were my favourite in high school.

In sixth form my favourite content wise is Biology as it is really interesting although due to the exams being awful as a whole subject, psychology would probably be my favourite A Level.

Thanks, I love the LOTF characters because they're just so interesting despite being fairly stereotypical sometimes. One of my friends thinks Simon is gay...idk why?
I know, I've done a little tiny bit and I can safely say me gusta Espaňol.

You got to do philosophy at high school? Lucky! I hear it's compulsory in France. I'm thinking at doing it at a level because I'm really good at RE and essay writing and am quite philosophical. Biology can be interesting and I'm quite intrigued by psychology

Phil + Ethics was honestly so good I ended up taking Religious Studies at AS Level and I'd really recommend it. My course at AS Level was 1/3 each of philosophy, ethics and a religion in depth of which we did Buddhism and it was so interesting! I wish I could've taken it to A2 Level but I couldn't have handled 4 A Levels.
I'm doing GCSE and I'm in secondary school
I like English, and I like my English class all most of my friends are in that class, we have a funny teacher and I'm really good at that subject.

I also like computer science, but I hate the class most of them are annoying it's funny sometimes but I'm lonely as all my friends are in either french/spanish geography or science. Plus the teacher is a little weird sometimes. But on the upside I'm good at it and get high grades.

Yeah that's true. Is Simon the sensitive one that faints a lot? (it's been a while :colondollar:) Hmm I'm not sure about that either, but I guess everything's open to interpretation :smile:

Woo I'm glad you like it :dance:

Yeah and the really wise one too.
Because Simon is an outsider and different and different can be seen as gay for the time (homosexuality was illegal in '54)?
It's part of the higher level interpretations and it's her belief. She thinks he might like Ralph but I would t go that far.
Who were your favourite characters?
Personally, mine were Simon (RIP Simon), Ralph and, surprisingly, Jack. I don't know why-maybe because he's such a good villain idk 😂
Latin is my fav
