I love English literature however I wouldn't say it is necessarily needed in life but I do love the way it helps me be more thoughtful on themes as such as the divide between the rich and the poor. Also, at my school it is compulsory!
noooooo waaaaayyyy tissue is waaaay toooo haaarrrddd i love exaggerating my point i think checking me out history is more adjustable in the under stress condition.

For Macbeth I hope its Lady Macbeth- doubt it though. I think its more likely to be a theme maybe supernatural or power?

Have a feeling we're going to get one of the harder poems. Could be something like 'Kamikaze' or 'poppies'


Kamikaze is easy but poppies is bs
hopefully

I don’t think the poem for power and conflict will be tissues, the papers 9-1 so level 1 students have to be able to analyse it slightly and it’s such a tough poem I don’t think they would dare put it in there.I hope it’s checking out me history or my last duchess...

I done my presentation last year on why English should be an option and not compulsory. I mean I am a grade 8/9 student in lit. No so gear at Lang tho. But I think both are totally unnecessary and I think the amount we do for one grade is too much


May I suggest that English ought to be compulsory if you get the use of the verb to do wrong considering you is your prestation last year?
arrrrgh just 4 days till lit paper 1.....my goooooodddddnnnnneeeessss
