How parents are presented in one Heaney poem and one Clarke poem

I did AQA. Did mice and men question

"Explain the importance of dreams in this novel"

and for the poems I did Havisham & My Last Duchess & Kid

We did 'On My First Sonne' and 'Surprised By Joy' for coursework. I was one mark off an A* .

[Favourtism]

Schools either tend to choose AQA or WJEC. WJEC has a more exam based focus, so easier life for the teachers - hardly any coursework to mark compared to AQA.

I don't do EngLit, only language.

Really?
WJEC has Shakespeare, Personal Writing (Short Story), Review, Culture Poetry Analysis and then three orals.

How much does AQA have LOL. I prefer English Lit to Lang anyday.

Without a doubt - language is disgusting!

I prefer language 'cause literature is just basically writing a load of bull, which doesn't work for me since it requires illogical thinking and I can't think illogically. Logical thinking suits me down to the ground.

You just need a bit of imagination. Language is dire, unimaginative and so restricted. Literature you can actually think outside the box rather than being penned in.

lol, but it's the way I prefer it. I'm just that sort of person. I'm really poor at the whole imaginative thing and prefer to be restricted. Sometimes my teacher tells me how certain words and phrases create such and such effect but I just go "I'm sorry, what? How does that work? It just doesn't..."

You can't be wrong in Literature though - well you'd have to try pretty hard to be anyway. A lot of the content is how you as an individual interpret events. If you can explain why you believe what you do then you'll do well dependant on the clarity of your argument and imagination of the interpretation.
