If I Keep Silent, Will It Silence Me?

Well, two down, two to go. Essays, that is.

The next one is for Postcolonial: South Asian Litearture class. I've opted to write my essay on R.K. Narayan's Swami and Friends. The topic is: "Comment on the portrayal of teachers in Swami and Friends." I find this quite appropriate after a year filled with teachers that mostly frustrated me. Those who did inspire me were all "offstage" or former teachers of mine.

Following this essay, I will write a paper for my Middle English Religious Drama and Visions on the Second Shepherds' Pageant.

Afterwards it's four exams - two early on, two spread across April. One's in-class, actually.

You know it must be near the end of school, as I have already started planning my summer reading list. So far I plan to read: Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast Trilogy, Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queene, Robert J. Sawyer's Mindscan,
Geraldine Heng's Empire of Magic, Michael Moorcock's Wizardry and Wild Romance: A Study of Epic Fantasy, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Annotated Sherlock Holmes, Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and Troylus and Criseyda, plenty of Shakespeare, H.P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Clark, China Mieville, etc...
