Scholarship+English

Okay so the texts that I have found that are successful for Scholarship are generally things that students love. In saying that texts that have worked in the past are: //A Clockwork Orange 1984 Brave New World The Handmaid's Tale Oryx and Crake Fight Club (Book for boys but I still liked it) Gattaca Pink Floyd's The Wall Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Jane Eyre Wuthering Heights North and South//

Musings by Mrs Tinning after scabbing ideas off others... //The Life of Pi// by Yann Martel Anything Pat Barker. Especially the //Regeneration// Trilogy. Ian McEwan //The Bone People// Keri Hulme

Please think of a theme or genre or an aspect that interests you and go from there. Add any ideas onto this page and please go for gold on the discussion page.

Start reading Literary philosophy...in fact any philosophical thought would be good. Hit Mr Collett up if need be, he has a philosophy degree. This is because we have to start thinking about the readings we have of texts.
