And that includes the 3rd text! Our new English teacher didn't believe us when we told her. We had to redo the entire thing.
Some people just shouldn't be allowed to teach

I have Key Notes! It's got my 3 texts in it. Lucky!
I'm suspicious that it's not luck, and that your teacher chose those three texts because they're the ones in key notes, just like mine did! :pac:0 -

I think you can do whatever theme you want! I hope so, anyway - we're doing the theme of suffering!
Thanks you can someone please enlighten me as to exactly what the literary genre is? like how should it be laid out and dealt with? If anyone could give me a good answer to what it is and what you need to do for it i'd be eternally greatful 0 -

It's basically the way the story is told, what techniques are used etc. As far as I know you can go into characterization, dialogue, symbolism, narration and things along them lines.leavingcert. wrote: »Thanks you can someone please enlighten me as to exactly what the literary genre is? like how should it be laid out and dealt with?
