who Actually likes english? (1 Viewer)

[scaredytiger]

Here is a better question. Who's male and actually likes english? It's pretty obvious females are going to like it, it's 'easy' for them lol.

3 of the top 4 performers in English Advanced in my year were male.

English is the most bullshit subject out. In year 11 I obtained an average of 80% in advanced without ever reading one page of a novel!!

Just throw in a few big words, so it sounds like you know what your talking about and you'll be right!!

 

[scaredytiger]

obviously, your english teacher was pretty hopeless.

big shock awaits you upon your HSC results.

Im male and like good english. I liked maths as well. I could appreciate the beauty in both.

I hated studying crap stuff (eg the Skull Beneath the Skin) but I think everyone gets to a stage where you can appreciate the greatness of Shakespeare for example.

You learn to appreciate english once you aren't forced to study it at school. Now that I've finished my HSC, I find myself reading a lot more fiction and generally enjoying it in my own time.

Tolerable and Do-able. It just gets repetitive. Honing on essay skills, techniques and an aspect of bullshitting skills.

I'd do English if they made it non-compulsory.

It really depends what aspect of English one is studying, the texts that are being explored within this aspect and the method of study. For example, the subjectivity issue is a double edged sword, as it allows for interesting argument but can often be taken too far. Similarly, I enjoy the study of literature (esp. certain classics) and even of contexts, but hate the current Postmodern methods employed which merely ruin the text in question by dint of their inherent bullshit. A prevalent measure of logic is needed when constructing an interpretation, and unfortunately methods like deconstructionism (or post structuralism), while intriguing and even beneficial when used in very small measure, have the potential to be used to such an excessive extent that the interpretations produced are nothing more than insidious garbage.

By the above, my enjoyment of English varies. I think that the area of study, belonging, has a lot of potential and that much can be discussed about it. I also enjoy the freedom to choose related texts. The AOS is ruined, however, by the fact the we use Peter Skrzynecki's poetry, which is utter crap and absolutely dull. I feel that my school (and indeed the board) can give us something a little richer in technical artifice and construction that a bunch of poems that could have been written by someone in year 8. In constrast, I am enjoying Frankenstein immensely for its literary value. I am looking forward to Hamlet; but detest extension because I have to do Navigating the Global, a reductive topic which basically prevents you from using almost any of the classics. In addition, to add to the ignominy, we must tolerate THe SHipping News as a core, and it is even worse than bloody Peter S.

He writes way to much, but i suppose he is good at it.
I don't even mind english, belonging is a bitch though.
