I just meant teenage boys rather than boys and girls, actually-but I spose your idea's more accurate! I think the books we have for coursework are probably desinged to get more boys to stay on to A2.

Those damn boys, never doing English!
I know! What will we do with them? 
Quote: PhQnix @ June 14 2008, 3:26 PM BSTI love English because there are no right or wrong answers, only 'good' answers.
I hate English for precisely that reason. If your "good" answer differs from the teacher or examiner's "good" answer, then you're f**ked. In history, there's right, and there's wrong (within what we 'know' to be true).
Quote: Scatterbrained Floozy @ June 14 2008, 3:29 PM BSTThat's what I like about English, too! At the moment I'm thinking about the stark comparisons between Dracula and Macbeth (partly so I can write "bastardizing"), and Andy's threatening to tell me the significance of Renfield.
There'll be no bastardizing on THIS board!

Well not really. It's about the construction of your arguments, supporting your points with quotes, analysing the context. I've never had any problems writing exactly what I felt. Maybe you had bad English teachers?
Perhaps, perhaps.
I'm getting the picture that you two like to argue.

Well technically. I see this as discussing from alternative view-points. Arguing is normally angrier.
It's all going down in the life lessons book!

Um one's about a vampire the others about some Scots git. It might have been Franky Boyle or one of the Krankies. If you require any other help with your homework don't hesitate.
I prefer Hamlet to Macbeth. And it was David Tennant, not Frankie Boyle.
It's so much like Macbeth! I'm on a roll now. 
What is?
My coursework.
