All through these forums I've heard the title Briar Rose about once, maybe twice, and most probably said by me. Am I the only person here that's studied this text for Close study of Text (Prose Fiction)??

phew.. when you said 1 and a bit booklets I freaked out.. I wrote 4 sections on each part, amazingly spacing it out well :) My writing's small, about 11 (average) words per line.

I think I went well in the essay.. but it felt like I was just crapping on, but I don't know what, if anything, I should have included. I related most of it to the Fairy Tale ideas central to the novel. You'd you go?

i just related a whole heap of techniques (juxtaposition, extd metaphor, structure..cant think of the others atm) to the themes (good vs evil, human savagery/brutality, & human kindness)

Dammit.. the themes.. that's what I forgot. I mentioned human resilience, but that was about it. It explored how the modern ideals were twisted (implied also as bad).. hope that's suffice...
