Over the course of year 13, i have chosen 'personal memories' as my theme for my coursework. I was chosen to study and investigate the theme of 'personal memories' and decided i want to further it on and do my coursework on it.
I have had a look at the core books chosen by the exam board such as Fergal Keane's 'All of These People' and Andrew Motion's 'In the Blood'. I will try to get hold of these books and have a read over the holidays.
Another core book suggested is Angela Ashworth's 'Once in a House on Fire'. The reviews look really good so i have already purchased the book and am currently reading it - really interesting, gripping and moving.
Will finish reading this book and start thinking about the personal memories involved in these particular books.
Well done Jenni, you have already done quite a bit!! I am planning on reading 'Things your mother never told you' by Olivia Lichenstein, possibly fits with your theme too although I am not sure at the moment if this is 'literary' enough...if it is it could also be an alternative. I am also reading 'The Red Tent' which could fit with this theme too! :)
