[ghasfura]

In the first term we did the Roles of Women and we read the book Mrs. Dalloway and did a film study The Hours (such a clever movie!). This term we're doing gothic literature. We're reading Dracula. One more chapter to go and I'll be finished!! Woohhooo! We've read the House of Usher by Poe and a few other gothic short stories.

 

[Deer]

Dystopia Orwell 1984 and Atwood A Handmaid's tale.

 

[ghasfura]

Dystopia Orwell 1984 and Atwood A Handmaid's tale.

Ohhhh! How have you read Orwell's 1984 yet? What's it like??
I've got the book and I'm dying to read it once I finished all the other books I have to read for english.

 

[klaris]

ghasfura, yeah 1984 is fantastic, I now I'm only in yr 10 but I've read it and it is one of the best books I've ever read. You should give it go, it's great.

 

[ghasfura]

ghasfura, yeah 1984 is fantastic, I now I'm only in yr 10 but I've read it and it is one of the best books I've ever read. You should give it go, it's great.

In year ten I studied an essay of his. A Modest Proposal. I loved it! It's quite clever too. 1984 is next on my list! =D

 

[katellewyn]

does anyone do/did horror genre?
i have an assignment and I need a bit of help as horror is not a genre I know a lot about.

 

[xMaFF]

Not sure what the Area of Study is, but we're analyzing a lengthy poem called "Rape of the Lock" by Alexander Pope.

 

[CecilyMare]

short stories. bludgiest subject and area of study ever, because the teacher doesn't know how to teach us to write properly. thus our education is reduced to summarizing short stories

 

[steph xx]

we're studying modernism. specifically, short stories. we've completed five essays on five short stories. i am not entirely certain what our AOS is however.

biding my time until we get the opportunity to study plath, woolf or capote.

 

[supercalamari]

In year 11 I did Revenge Tragedy, which was very good. Ancient Greek plays full of blood and gore.

We did:
The Revenger's Tragedy- Thomas Middleton
Medea- Euripides

and for my found texts I used:
The Brave One (film)
Darkly Dreaming Dexter- Jeff Lindsay

 

[Entity]

Our class is doing Utopia and Dystopias. But were focusing mainly on the Sci-Fi genre

 

[brenx712]
