Actually, I begged to go down to Standard. I had the potential for Advanced and my Standard teacher gives me the dirties every time I pass by her. She thinks it's ridiculous I'm dropping - I just need to do the work, blah blah blah..bansdontwork said:Your argument is terrible. People do advanced because they are capable at English and will get a much better mark than they would if they did standard.
You'll find most people hate at least one of the texts they have to study, saying you should like it because you chose is it ridiculous, so shut up.
HAHAHAHAHA.bassistx said:you are definitely better off getting 100 in Standard than 50 for Advanced.
You understand my pain lol. I don't think we'll be touching on Shakespeare in Standard though. I hope not anywayProsper said:King Lear is a big thumbs down for me just because it is Shakespeare, I hate trying to understand it.
i'm doing enders game aswell.Caitlin63 said:We're doing Ender's Game for English... I didn't like it. It seems most people in my class did, but then again most of my friends are males and are into sci-fi and I am not interesting in this genre at all. Mind you, our english teacher picks the shittest books ever so Ender's Game wasn't anywhere near as bad as some of the other ones we have done with him for the past 3 years such as "The Giver" "Catcher in the Rye", "Boys of Blood and Bone" and "Cry the Beloved Country".
We are reading Hamlet at the moment, i don't mind it, but that may just be because I played Gertrude in a production of it two years ago so I have many fond memories of that experience and I already know the story line.
