After that you just lie your way through it all. Like me. Anything can be said as long as you make a link to a theme or event or it makes sense.

I've also become employed as a tutor in three subjects. Money? I has you.
Happily I never had to study Romantic poetry, I just read it in my own time. I'm sure it's pretty easy to analyse though, it's very structured and thematic which is really the recipe for easy literary criticism. But being easy to analyse doesn't mean I have to like it. I got full marks for my A-Level exam on Frankenstein (Romanticism in novel form!) but I maintain that it's one of the worst novels I've ever read. It's always struck me as perhaps 10 pages of decent writing with the rest being Mary Shelley going "Gosh, aren't mountains pretty?", which may partly be excused by the fact that it was a short story she made longer but it's still dull.

Congrats on the tutoring! Hope it goes well. I guess you're tutoring English?

In other news, I spent 7 hours on trains today. This makes me sad.
