  • If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    Well, it was possible to play WoW casually and the 6month sub looks attractive



    I would say that the game is worth it, but I haven't exactly been playing it casually, considering I logged something like eight hours into it yesterday.


    I'm not sure that the game would be worth the subscription fee on its' own if it was singleplayer, but I would say that the fact it is multiplayer and people here play it as well is enough of a point in its' fvour to sway it towards being worth it to me.


    Also, Everest, I would totally play Monopoly. Time to bankrupt your ass.

  • You can change. You can.

    What I want to know is why the subject isn't called "Literature Studies". We haven't studied the language itself since before Year 10.



    For the same reason we study "Spanish". loli'unno

    We don't even study literature so much as we do get yelled at by the teacher.


    Wait, that's just me. Nevermind.

    The "Serbian" we learn is 95% literature, with only an ocassional class on language that nobody gives a fuck about.

    We always studied literature in the context of how it relates to the English language as well as how it's great literature in its' own right in my class.

  • We haven't done that...ever. In either Extension or Advanced. Unless you count word choice (which I don't).

    I think this year is the first year that we've ever actually used Literature to develop our understandings of the development of the language. Unfortunately, it did involve reading James Joyce.

  • If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    A lot of what we did with The Tempest, for example, was study how the language has changed through the centuries.


    Or, when we got to Maestro, we took a look at his writing style and what writing techniques he used that made the book so effective, like his use of metaphors, and the timing and placement of them.

  • Let's see, Year 10 was...I don't remember (great sign), Year 11 was Othello, then poetry for the remaining two terms. Year 12 started with poetry of Peter Skcrynecki (however the fuck you spell it; guy was a whiny wanker anyway), then Frankenstein and Blade Runner, and we're on Hamlet now.


    At no point in any of that have we specifically examined the language. The closest we've come is in English Extension, comparing how the satire in Gulliver's Travels compares to more contemporary satire, but even that's a bit stretch.

    We did literature in the chronological order, with a couple of anachronistic works falling in here and there.


    The first year of high school was mostly about lit theory and the ancient era in literature - ancient epics, mythology, the Bible, Greek tragedies. The second year we learned about the Middle Ages, Rennaisance, Baroque, Enlightenment, Romanticism and Realism - various chronicles, apocryphas, Serbian epic poetry and folklore in general, stuff like Dante's Inferno, Rennaisance poetry, Moliere, boring Enlightenment stuff, Romantic poetry and realist prose. The third year was modern literature, and the fourth is dedicated to postmodernism.

  • Can we trade school literature curriculums?
