I've enjoyed reading Blood Brothers by Willy Russell, and I've enjoyed looking at poems to do with power and conflict such as Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley. I enjoy looking at the language techniques in texts a lot. Do you have any recommendations that I could read during my holidays?
Depends on your tastes and interests, really. I'm personally a big fan of the work of J. D. Salinger - his most famous piece is 'The Catcher in the Rye', but I also love his novellas about the Glass family. 'To Kill a Mockingbird' is a classic which I think is very good. As far as teenage literature goes, I really enjoyed a recent publication called 'Who Killed Christopher Goodman', a novel about a group of friends and the events leading up to the murder of a boy they know and are somewhat friendly with. (Based on a real murder from the author's hometown.) It's written from the perspective of various characters, so has numerous different 'voices', and I found the very end to be quite poignant.
Oh thank you! I have also read 'To Kill a Mockingbird' and I found it very sad, I'll also have a look at 'Who Killed Christopher Goodman' by Allan Wolf (?) as it sounds very exciting and I like thrillers a lot!
Hi, thank you! English is going very well for me at the moment; I enjoy it a lot.
Glad to hear it! Reading any interesting texts?
