Actually, I was also referring to the single honours subjects
And I would say that a single honours subject would be vastly more specific and in-depth than a broad arts degree, no? ^_^

Of course, more specific and in-depth than a two subject (or even 3 subject degree) but still in an Arts subject.

You do realise you can do a PhD in History or English or Philosophy (all Arts subjects) just like in Bio or Chem (Science) and so on ...

How much more specific and in-depth can you get than a PhD?

"Arts" or sometimes "Humanities" is just a classification for certain subjects, just like "Social Sciences" or "Science" ... it's just a classification with a large number of subjects.

Hello! Which was your favourite? I have to say there was no contest for me, Il Postino was great

I hated Lies of Silence, possibly the worst book I ever read (and I read quite a bit). You'd think our teacher would choose a book that would at least ENCOURAGE reading, but noooo..:P Yeah Il Postino was pretty amazing. And I liked Dancing at Lughnasa too! That might be because I got to see it as a play before I read it though and it was done really well...soo yeah. Il Postino was my fave too~:cool:

What?! There was a conspiracy?? I missed the whole beginning of that Harry Potter thread.



Made a new one though, y'know, 'cause "Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home".

Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it.

In relation to what I did for my english comparative: Wuthering Heights, Il Postino and Dancing at Lughnasa.



There doesn't seem to be a real interest in law this year..:rolleyes:

Out of those 3 I actually liked lies of silence more than Il Postino or Dancing at Lughnasa...I found it quite interesting.

Well yeah, the plot in itself is interesting. But I just absolutely detested the characters and felt no sympathy at all for Michael.

I thought the same thing about LOS. Just crap. It was very poorly written. I didn't like DAL though, I was kinda waiting for something to happen for the whole book and nothing really did although I can see why it'd be better when you experience it as it's meant to be.

I did the same three, hated Il Postino - all that hope - what's that all about like?? :rolleyes: Loved the other two, probably 'cause me and my mates pull the piss out of them all the time.

Eg: "Nevermind him, his highest ambition is a job in a shipyard or a mill!" :P

I find it humourous anyway...

The sex scenes were so unnecessary! I agree, it's the worst book I've ever read, so boring and badly written! Could've been decent if it had a decent writer.
