Literature

Okay literature lesson yesterday was simply demoralising ! Another 23/50 for my assignment. Considering that i spent quite a lot of time planning the essay, getting 23/50 just goes to show that my understanding of the extract hasn't reached the expected level. Ever single time i go for practical criticism lessons, i feel enlightened but the enlightenment just doesn't seem to last. The points i raise all seem to be so superficial and i fail to get the overall meaning of the extract. Literature wasn't this hard in the past. Literature was stress free in the past but now literature is taking up my time. All the pre tutorial, essays and even post tutorials..not forgetting all the readings. The amount of readings i have to do is like tenfolds. A levels is like in less than 6 months and yet my literature standard hasn't improved. It seems to be deteriorating as a matter of fact. There seems to be a lacking in sophistication in my writing. I'm just not meeting expectations recently. The prose don't make sense recently..the poems don't make sense recently..i don't make sense recently. Literature is taxing. Maybe all beautiful things are hard to get just like Literature.
What happened to my first love for literature
and there's a literature term test tomorrow.. *Drowning in literature*
