We’ve just started working on topics for our WL1 paper…
Which books/plays are you covering? My book selections were so messed up; I’m convinced my English teacher had a fetish for incestuous Christians lol
Just for WL? Let’s see… we can write on Chronicle of a Death Foretold, Fiela’s Child (NO LIKE), Midaq Alley. For WL2 we have more choices, but I don’t know of any others but We.
Hmm… We did some pretty messed up ones. House of the Spirits, Kiss of the Spider-Woman, King Lear, Heart of Darkness… The first book was probably the most disturbing in content.
I read House of the Spirits over the summer for a choice novel, loved it actually. I think we’re reading Heart of Darkness next year, but I’m not quite sure.
Are you in your first year, then? I feel like I’m the only one here that’s not sitting for exams this year..
lol No, I graduated 5 years ago, but I have a lot of fond memories from my English HL class. Coincidentally, both IB English teachers were gay.
So I am the only one XD
Pretty sure mine is too…
Whoa, two of the same books! Our WL1 potential choices were Chronicle of a Death Foretold, Midaq Alley and The Stranger. I chose the latter two because I liked them the best. If I could go back in time to high school being who I am now, I think I’d choose the former two and do something about the madonna/whore dichotomy and representations of it in those books. Of course, I didn’t know what that was in high school and our shitty lit teachers actively discouraged anything on gender or race themes in our essays.
I really couldn’t get that into Midaq Alley, for whatever reason. While I haven’t read The Stranger, I can see how it’d be interesting to approach the madonna/whore dichotomy in Midaq. The more I hear others talk about their IB teachers, the more lucky I feel. My lit teacher would beat us about the head and shoulders if we didn’t approach gender or race if it was a thing in the novel.
Except for my bio teacher. I do not feel lucky there. At ALL.
