Other than Skrzynecki, I have no idea. Knowing my teacher, she probably chose the crap choices. -_____________-

oOOoo I am doing Yeats in Module...C or X or something a rather, but he's brilliant, I did a Uni lecture on his poem this holidays and now I psyched.

Related material eh? I've got a few for belonging just from doing a folio of text assignment but I haven't put very much serious thinkage into it. Although for History and Memory I'm doing The Fiftieth Gate so I figure Maus would be a good related text.

Belonging RM:

The Legend of 1900 (film)...could almost cross over for History and Memory if you squint hard enough
About A Boy (novel)
One Hour Photo (film)
Alone by Edgar Allen Poe (poem)

- History and Memory: The Fiftieth Gate
- Frankenstein and Blade Runner

English Extension 1: Romanticism

not sure what comes after..

Coleridge isn't exactly awesome to study. He subliminally messages you from the dead, advising you to smoke opium in creative writing sections.

And I'm bored of him.

[psyche92]

I'm doing 4 units of English

We're studying romanticism and I'm absolutely killing it

I'll most likely come first in the class. I'm teaching myself wuthering heights instead of Northanger Abbey. I loved wuthering heights, read and memorised most of it in year 7

I dunno, english is my favourite subject, i love it
