Indeed. Although I am getting my writing muse back (after two years) and am feeling confident about the English writing exam :]

Wow! That's so cool ^_^ What was it about? I got an A* for mine too, but not full marks =O it was like peices of information put together to make a story, like the person reading is a detective and has to figure out what was going on. My teacher had fun marking mine :]

Theme was war, I did about Nagasaki, from this little girl Hisana's point of view. I made everyone in the story die. =D
My other creative piece got an A* too, but I hated it to pieces.

I do want to burn that book. I mean the first 200 pages are just...pointless! And just all character development! The last hundred are okay, but still, I hate analyzing books.

They really are pointless! You're just like 'SHUT UP, LEE. SHUT UP AND STOP WRITING.'
But Frankenstein is worse. I think about half that book is just Mary Shelley faffing on about the country. That's it.

I've never read Frankenstein, and I won't! Gulliver's Travels is the worst. The guys uses really long words and describes EVERYTHING, I mean, EVERYTHING. He spends a whole chapter going through how be built his canoe for gods sake.

Mary Shelley is worse. She spent eleven pages, ELEVEN, describing the Alpines. And the weather.

I know. Me and my English Lit teacher butt heads constantly because a) i hate that book and she loves it, b) I called it clichéd and c) i said I didn't care about the book anymore and she was like '...i'd actually you rather hate the book than be apathetic about it...'
