Memorising the structure or technical details is useless unless I am somehow able to detect its literary significance. They said we should have an 'A' for 'O' level English in order to take literature, but the language component is severely overrated. It is LITERARY SENSITIVITY that separates the A-graders from the C-graders and unfortunately for me, I've been stuck in the latter band for... too long. It doesn't help that out poetry and POA tutor is a high-handed bitch who seems to take pleasure in putting us down - never an encouraging word to aid our learning in a tedious and often frustrating subject.
If anyone out there thinks its easy to do well in literature, I'd like to see them try. In the meantime, my grades - given the unfavourable situation I find myself in - is a foregone conclusion. Maybe you could write an eulogy for me when its over, it'll be the closest I'll ever come to sound literary writing.
