Ah I see. Pretty good connections to each other.

I'm assuming these are your tutors? Would I be wrong? How much do they charge per hour? They seem like kind individuals who are compassionate in religion and art.

Pretty good book, I'm considering it as my related text for 1984, just finished reading it. I don't understand some words yet but I'll ask my english teacher to help me out.

Yeah, there's quite a good context you can draw on and relate to 1984. Maybe you can also reference Orwell's 'Animal Farm'?

Cambridge Mathematics Extension 2 - David Sadler and Derek Ward

Please don't corrupt good literature with math. The most I'll accept is Extension 1

I'm sorry to hear that, I think your friend in the right committed suicide so I can understand how you're feeling. You're friend in the left played hide and seek for some reason and I guess people cheated.

biology in focus is the best piece of literature on earth
it's incomparable

Let me bring the conversation back to the thread lol

I'm currently reading Dune. Just started, but it seems pretty good so far. Planning to watch the movie after I finish reading it, because books > adaptation movies

gonna watch the book thief for 1984. I heard vishnay's friend starred in it so it would be paying tribute. On a serious note I think Book Thief would be a really good related text for 1984 since it has the same themes of oppression and manipulation of information but its more... historical and representative of the extent of tolitarianism.

Fascinating! We are currently studying the same text in Extension 2 english. What a coincidence! We have to thoroughly study this text then draw inspiration from it and write our own. Luckily the teachers are nice enough to let us achieve the band 6 range with quality that is only 31% of this masterpiece. Unfortunately half our class dropped in the first lesson. They simply could not understand ancient elmowian, it felt like hieroglyphics for them! I am currently contemplating life and hoping I achieve 11.2% in this assessment as I simply cannot get past page 2 - where the Big Bird is introduced (a deadly metaphor which I can still cannot grasp). I'm assuming so far it represents one's desire for freedom in an oppressive totalitarian state. Far more complex than 1984 which my 3 year old cousin get read in 12.98 seconds.

I just realised Dune was a prescribed text up until 2018 (I think)...but I'm honestly reading it for fun lol

Elmo's death invoked a cathartic response truly. Can't believe he got mugged in the end by Big Bird

Haven’t read that. But yeah I get what you mean by a book feeling like a mental drain at times, especially those really long dense ones

Longest book you guys have read? For real though, no X2 math textbooks
My longest read so far is Tolstoy’s War and Peace
