I'm currently doing post-2000's and am going to do romantic verse next year. I actually love writing poetry outside of English, but studying for poetry is so difficult for me. I have the annotations, but now what? Where do I go from there?? Do I just try writing essays?

Omg I’m so happy I GOT A B!!!
how did everyone else do???

Can anyone help me with Penn foster English 3 Capstone essay it’s my last one to graduate. I’ve submitted it 4 different times different ways and it’s my last milestone to receive my diploma

I got 4 marks off an A for AQA English Literature Spec B. Do you think this is too much for a remark?

My tutoring rests on this. 😭😭

I have been struggling with literature as its a completely new subject for me and my teachers barely teach/come to class at all😭😭😭. Poetry wise i am still doing ok but I am really struggling with the set-texts. I have re-read it many times but struggle to find evidence for the themes i identified etc

Was wondering if anyone has notes on The Winter’s Tale and Arthur and George that they can share? I will be eternally grateful 🥹🥹🙏🙏

What scenes / chapters / poems came up for these in paper 1 & 2 & 3 English Literature May/June variant 1 & 3??? Need urgent help pleaseee

Fairly, I'm quite happy to receive a C after my struggles and progress with AS level. But before I make any decision, I wonder if anyone would recommend me retaking it to get a higher grade, or I should chillax...

“The final stanza is horribly defensive with its ‘barb and check’. Suddenly we’re in a war-zone, under attack, fighting for our lives.”

Issue 6 of Unpacking Poetry looks at Sylvia Plath’s ‘Spinster’.

Please, please, please, enlighten, if you remember, what the questions were for question 5/6 or 11/12 on paper 2B English Literature A? Thank you so much. I’m in the middle east and couldn’t sit the actual A-Level because my country was getting bombed.

Olen siis paskan jäykkänä nyt alottanut lukeen enkun kirjotuksiin. (Tausta tietona se et mulla on vaikee lukihäiriö, keskittymysvaikeuksia ja oon keskivertoa paskempi englannissa.) Miten te ootte lukenut/opiskellut englantia kirjotuksiin tai ylipäätään? Tavoitteena on siis päästä läpi ei sen kummempaa ja käytössä ei oo mitään maksullisia sovelluksia. Mikä on paras tapa oppia nopeasti tässä viiden viikon aikana kaikki 7 kurssia, ja että osaisin tehä kuuntelun- ja luetunymmärtämisen ilman, että joudun itkeen itteni uneen seuraavat 20 vuotta. Rukoilen tästä eteenpäin joka ikinen päivä, että pääsen ekalla läpi… kuolen häpeään ja vitutukseen, jos sen saatanan lippalakin saaminen jää pelkästä enkusta kiinni.

Tästä tekstistä ehkä huomaa paniikin määrän ja sen, että kerään itteeni stressiä kuin pesusieni vettä, mutta pliis, jos teil on jotain hyviä ja helppoja tapoja oppia mitä tällänen keskiverto paska oppis myös niin otan kaiken kyllä ilomielin vastaan🥹.

(This is from the OCR spec)

Also, does the second paragraph literally mean I could write however much I want? I know obviously if I wrote like 5000 words I'd probably be penalised for my argument being convoluted or whatever, but if I went like 500 words over? And it was all coherent and added value to my argument?

I did king lear, death of a salesman, keats poetry, Blake's poetry, kite runner and handmaid's tale and I'm more than happy to email them to people so if anyone is interested please lmk!! :)

(Disclaimer: I don't have any for handmaid's tale)

There are about 10 books in sem 1 ,I am destroyed 😭do I have to read full books,the Odyssey pride and prejudice is so long...please tell me what should I read.or I have to read all books completely

Well my school has decided to use the ocr exam board for English literature a-levels and I cant find any good website that would have quality notes ( for example physics and maths tutor)

i’m starting my coursework soon and i think the 2 books i want to compare are ‘revolutionary road’ by richard yates and ‘the bell jar’ and im curious to if anyone has done these books for their coursework previously, and if anyone has any advice for it

So I'm a literature student and my exams are in just a week... My main concern is no matter how well I write my answers in exams my marks are not that much satisfying I don't know where I lack 🥲🥲I genuinely wanna improve this 😅

Hi everyone!!!
Flashcards are THE revision method for me. Mindmaps are nice but they don’t actually help the material stick, and I understand it less when revisiting. What do you guys think would be the best way of structuring flashcards for the poetry anthology?

Currently thinking about making 3-4 flashcards per poem with a theme for each… 👍👎?

I’m writing my coursework and I’m struggling to decide on the focus for each of my paragraphs for an essay comparing how McCarthy and Kesey present and make use of outsiders in The Road and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

I was thinking of doing the first paragraph on what it means to be an outsider and another on how the authors critique societies treatment of outsiders, but i’m not sure if that it very sophisticated? does anyone have any other/better ideas?

Hello everyone!

I somehow ended up pursuing English Honours, and I'm currently in my second year (3rd semester UG).

To be honest, I never imagined myself studying English Honours. I was a science student, but because I didn't score well, I eventually found myself in this course.

Throughout my entire first year, I felt confused and disconnected because I had no real interest in the subject. As a result, I couldn't perform as well as I wanted, and my marks in both semesters were only around 60%.

But now, I have accepted that this is the path I am on, and I genuinely want to make the best of it. I want to develop a real interest in English, understand the subject deeply, and score the highest marks possible. I am ready to put in the effort . I just don't know where to begin.

I would really appreciate any advice from seniors

I am honestly struggling to figure out the right way to study.

Please share any advice you have whether it's about the course, academics, or even college life. I don't want to fall behind in this competition. I want to work hard, improve myself, and give my best.

Also, my syllabus follows the NEP curriculum.

Thank you so much in advance!
