BNW/BR - When the class first decided on doing it - i was close to changing classes but at the end - i loved it! Pretty interesting and when it comes to analysis it's easy as shit.

KL - I think i love your teacher. I fucking hated King Lear :mad1:

Frontline - Not bad - Extremely easy to analyse

You're studying good texts, although i cant say much about Gwen Hardwood.

Doing Heaney for Retreat from the Global (Extension).

Absolutely LOVE Seamus Heaney. Favourite poet.

RTFG is awesome & easy - so glad we didn't do post modernism. Heaney poems are simple and easy to analyse - Are you doing the Shipping News or The Bone People?

 

[Zephyrio]

Shipping News and The Castle.

Extension one is my favourite subject (along with modern). It's awesome.

I really like Heaney because a lot of what he writes is linked to the Irish struggle/English land claims. His poetry is pretty vivid and a joy to read.

Shipping News and The Castle.

Extension one is my favourite subject (along with modern). It's awesome.

I like you

Modern was my favourite.

We were going to do the Shipping News but after reading it we decided not to - it was seriously boring on my part. Castle was good

Good luck!

 

[Zephyrio]

I like you too

Hey, Tanjin, how many units do you do? I thought you did history extension as well.

And I heard that Shipping News is a snorefest.

I do 10 units. I did extension history however i saw more negatives in the course than postives and dropped it. It was more difficult for me because i had EE2 as well. I just didnt like the idea of having to kill myself over hist essays worth a lame 3.3% and the fact that unlike ee2, ext history requires a major work and an exam. Good decision overall.

Shipping News - Seriously Ghey
