I'll see your Jane Eyre and raise you Wuthering Heights. :yeees:

Rockerchick - have you tried sparknotes? If you're struggling to get through it, they might have the notes on the main points that exams tend to cover.

Yeah I second that. Sparknotes have proved really useful to me in the past. Just go to www.thespark.com and click on spark notes, find the ones on lord of the flies and they'll have chapter summaries and notes on the main themes and characters etc that you can print off for free. I use them for all my english literature texts, especially the Shakespeare ones.

You`ve never read The Mayor of Casterbridge then.

[jacaranda]

I studied lord of the flies so if you want to ask me about the book I may well be able to help :)

[s3xysooz]

I havn't got my GCSE's till next year and so far i have done

macbeth, of mice and men(very good book!) and the inspector calls

I really enjoyed of mice and men...very sad ending :(

[jacaranda]

I did Inspector calls too :) and saw the stage version

[s3xysooz]

Yep i did all three of those my lucky self, probably due to the fact that we both live in stoke! Inspector calls is actually interesting compared to the other two.....

Hear hear.

Endless pages of describing the bloody countryside...

[TempleOfDreams]

Err, am I the only one who did A Kestrel For A Knave (aka Kes)?

I thought it was pretty wicked tbh :D

[Luce]

I did Macbeth in year 9, for GCSE I did Great Expectations, and this year I've done Return Of The Native. Next year i do Wuthering Heights, to be contrasted with RotN in A level exam.
I've had the same English teacher for 3 years running now, and he's excellent, so makes the books slightly more bearable. Only slightly though :eek2:

[solid_L]

ive done lord of the flies for my coursework, i guess it wasnt a bad book they picked for us, cudda bin worse !!!

[lotey77]

what abt "Of Mice And Men" what ou think of it ?
poor lennie

[The First Lady]

this is probably way too late, but I did it 2 years ago and my questions were something like 'what is piggy's importance in the story?' and 'how important is the scene where they first kill the pigs to the outcome of the story?'

[freak]

Macbeth for cw
An Inspector Calls+Animal Farm for exam

*yawn*

:nervous:results in Aug *cringe* i dnt wana know! :no:
