[jdrevolutionary23]

As stated in title... Edmwers always rike to say riterature ish the most useless subject, but is it acherly because chiu all find it beri difficult and hence unable to get an A for it, be it at O or A lebel, or even get fch for it in uni, that's huai chiu all sayed it's useless?

Its very subjective because it's based on interpretation and sinkie teachers have a correct or wrong mindset. So if ur view differ from the teacher view confirm fail.

That's because moe does not hire the best and brightest to teach the subject, even peepur who neber major in riterature in uni can become riterature teacher in school... Leefering to moi dinobu gf here

[anlaosan]

don't know leh. I got C6 for prelims cos that teacher thought she's right and I was wrong. Ended up I got A1 for O level. She saw me and the face was black like charcoal.

 

[nyvrem]

I took it for O levels. It’s hard because a lot of students only memorise and whack in exam. Literature requires deep understanding of plot and also different interpretations. Linking the whole storyline is not easy for most people. I am lucky I am able to analyse from different perspectives. Although I only gotten a B3 I am still heypi about it

Lit and art are for those who cannot do a maths

What ish literature's obsession with pigs. Both books my literature curriculum had main character as pigs Animal Farm and Charlotte's Web

A lot of peepur, even in moe itself, hab the misconception that eng lang and eng lit are beri similar subjects, that cannot be further from the truth
