    Actually, I was also referring to the single honours subjects :)
    And I would say that a single honours subject would be vastly more specific and in-depth than a broad arts degree, no? ^_^
    Of course, more specific and in-depth than a two subject (or even 3 subject degree) but still in an Arts subject.

    You do realise you can do a PhD in History or English or Philosophy (all Arts subjects) just like in Bio or Chem (Science) and so on ...

    How much more specific and in-depth can you get than a PhD? :)

    "Arts" or sometimes "Humanities" is just a classification for certain subjects, just like "Social Sciences" or "Science" ... it's just a classification with a large number of subjects.

    Hello! Which was your favourite? I have to say there was no contest for me, Il Postino was great :D

    I hated Lies of Silence, possibly the worst book I ever read (and I read quite a bit). You'd think our teacher would choose a book that would at least ENCOURAGE reading, but noooo..:P Yeah Il Postino was pretty amazing. And I liked Dancing at Lughnasa too! That might be because I got to see it as a play before I read it though and it was done really well...soo yeah. Il Postino was my fave too~:cool:

    What?! There was a conspiracy?? I missed the whole beginning of that Harry Potter thread. :(



    Made a new one though, y'know, 'cause "Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home". :D

    Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it.

    In relation to what I did for my english comparative: Wuthering Heights, Il Postino and Dancing at Lughnasa.



    There doesn't seem to be a real interest in law this year..:rolleyes:

    Out of those 3 I actually liked lies of silence more than Il Postino or Dancing at Lughnasa...I found it quite interesting.

    Well yeah, the plot in itself is interesting. But I just absolutely detested the characters and felt no sympathy at all for Michael.

    I thought the same thing about LOS. Just crap. It was very poorly written. I didn't like DAL though, I was kinda waiting for something to happen for the whole book and nothing really did although I can see why it'd be better when you experience it as it's meant to be.

    I did the same three, hated Il Postino - all that hope - what's that all about like?? :rolleyes: Loved the other two, probably 'cause me and my mates pull the piss out of them all the time.

    Eg: "Nevermind him, his highest ambition is a job in a shipyard or a mill!" :P

    I find it humourous anyway... :o

    The sex scenes were so unnecessary! I agree, it's the worst book I've ever read, so boring and badly written! Could've been decent if it had a decent writer.
