The classics I’ve read are The Great Gatsby (for school) - LOVEDDDD IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Currently reading Frankenstein for school - still on volume 1 but I’m liking it more than Gatsby

The Outsiders (also read it for school!) - liked it at first, looking back I’m not a fan.

Read No Longer Human back when I was 13, really enjoyed it, but Idk how Japanese classics are viewed on this sub.

I read Wuthering Heights since my brother suggested back when I was 12/13, obviously didn’t grasp much.

And every other classic I’ve read (for reasons outside of school) is The Color Purple (I had to return it to the library and couldn’t be bothered to just re-borrow it, but I really enjoyed it), and To Kill a Mockingbird (also tried to read it at 13 and grasped nothing 🤲). I hadn’t ended up finishing either of them though.

I am also currently reading Hunger Games/Catching Fire but put it on pause for Frankenstein.

Should my goal js to be doing consistently well throughout Y12? What happens if I get high 90s and then flunk one SAC?

Im always hearing people discuss like “oh im aiming for 90” “im aiming for 100” etc and im like…. Isnt it better to just study a lot before the SAC/exam, and then you’ll just get a really satisfying/high mark anyhow? Or is there something beyond studying you need to do to get really good scores?

I watched the films before reading the books so I’m always just visualising the movie characters doing the actions of the characters in the novel, yet I wanna try and imagine their appearances in the novels but I just can’t.
