I handed in my English essay on Tess of the D’Urbervilles this morning. I’m quite pleased with it, though there was one paragraph that didn’t really fit in with the flow of my argument. I thought it was a fairly interesting analysis though, so for that reason and so as to up the word count […]
Gah! I’m not enjoying working on my English essay, unfortunately. I enjoy studying literature, and I found the book I’m writing on, Tess of the D’Urbervilles, to be quite moving and interesting, but the essay questions we’ve been set are just so dull.
