LC English - What single/comparative texts are you doing?

decisions

Single - Macbeth
Comp: Wuthering Heights, Casablanca, Gatsby

Colm!

Single - Macbeth. I like it. It's pretty straightforward, easy to write about and I did actually enjoy watching it when we went to see it.

Comparative:

Wuthering Heights - despise it. dreadful book, in my own opinion.
Casablanca - Really enjoyed this one. Great film. I'd recommend watching it.
Sive - starting this soon.

Vito Corleone

Anyone else unfortunate enough to be doing "Circle of Friends" as one of their comparative?

Yeah me! Not as the main part though, our teacher said we only have to refer to it in a couple of sentences. Not so boring for me

Comparative: I'm Not Scared, HMMTB and The Road
I hate all of them. I love Hamlet compared to Macbeth. There were a few of the comparatives options that I've read before and loved like Emma, Wuthering Heights and My Sisters Keeper( off the top of my head). I wish we could have done at least one of them. I love reading but it was so tedious trying to read HMMTB.

Can't believe you didn't like I'm not scared! Do you just not like thrillers in general, or was it the subtitles that put you off?

Lena137

Looking back I'm Not Scared was okay, thrown in with the other two I probably didn't like it as much as I could have. I love watching movies with subtitles and I liked the Italian.

Yeah I was thinking about getting that, I love key notes for poetry, but for everything else it just ain't cutting it for me, my teacher gives most of her notes from that book, but I have it anyways.I really hate Comparative, do you know if that book covers I'm Not Scared, Translations and Wuthering Heights.

shawnanana

Single text = Macbeth
Comparatives = Emma, Home Before Night and Casablanca

Emma has to be the most boring book EVER!

Single Text: Macbeth.
Comparative: How Many Miles to Babylon?, Translations & I'm Not Scared.

Oh and just saying, our class watched 'I'm Not Scared' the other day and I almost died at one particular part. It's actually kind of scary, aha!
