I am pleased to say that my essay on Helen Maria Williams' poem To Dr Moore netted me my best mark yet 81%. I was really chuffed with my tutor's comments too. I notice from one of my visitor's comments ( Susan that's you!) that it appears I am not enjoying my course. Far from it! I love my course, but I have to admit that the Romantic Poets are not really my bag. Also I tend to escape to my blog when the going gets rough and this results in more than my fair share of moaning. It is, however, cathartic as I come away with renewed vigour.I just leave all of you feeling depressed!! Sorry!!
I would love to read some of the other people on my course's essays.It is strange to work in isolation for most of the time.Still, maybe its just as well that I don't. This way all the ideas I put down are my own.

I studied The Colour Purple at A-level & loved it. It's a very good film as well. Women had it tough...
I used to hate that you sometimes had to demolish & rip apart a book in order to critique it - I remember feeling like we'd violated Down & Out in Paris & London - I wished we'd left it as it was without having to find fault & realising it wasn't as good as I'd thought. It was like admiring a beautiful lady then lifting up her petticoats & pointing out her cellulite to everyone. (if you know what I mean!)
Glad you're doing well with the course.
Hi there, I'm doing the A210 course with the OU aswell. Congrats on the good mark! How're you finding Byron?
