1 Read about the author
2 Read the 'set' bk from beginning to end at one sitting to get
a clear story in your mind - this is your ist reading -
take or make notes only if u dont understand the general
outline.
3 Do a second reading which of course implies many readings
if necessary to digest plot, strcuture n so on so forth.
To do well in literature - one - u form your opinions of
the book and its .... most of all u need to substantiate what
u say. eg. if u say, Mr A has a postitive outlook towards ...
u must be able to quote - passages or conversations between one or
two characters that support this: ie they must be relevant to the question
also.
two - A good
command of the English language is essential.
PS _ U may use guide books but do not quote or copy answers from
there. the examiner, when he/she notices the same type of answer(s)
will deduct marks. Be original and u get high marks.
Just remember this lar - understanding and giving your
own view point of the book and
supporting it with passages or quotes will garner
u high marks!
