Wow. There's no way I could have done that as a teenager.

The amazing thing was that P, the head of English, taught this to mixed-ability groups--and also adult students (my mother included, she did Love and Self Love and piles of Austen)--and got many people through it. It probably did change people's lives.

The thematic extended essay--at 5000+ words (I think officially 3-5k, so I did 7-8k), completed in the lower sixth--was probably the most challenging piece of work I've ever done.

Wow, again. I might like to try A'Level English (in my copious spare time) with a good teacher; I've spoken before about my frustration with school English where I had trouble grokking a lot of the things (characters, motivation, style) they seemed to assume should come naturally.
