For me, it depends. I don't really like composition classes much. Well, I suppose I don't mind them. I'm just not very adept at writing. I suppose that's the problem here.

I <capital I know this isn't formal writing, but damn, you should be able to write simple sentences. I think you should focus on reading basic books or articles here and there. This will allow you to analyze the way the authors or journalists write. Also, begin with basic sentences, and then when you proofread your paper no comma required then you can build up and add big words or analogies, or whatever sentence too long- add a full stop somewhere in this sentence because I feel like you would just end up sounding wordy and awkward if you try to write "smart" write off the bat.

btw, i don't want you to get the wrong idea. I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just trying to help.

Ok, the book I am studying is 'Of Mice And Men' and we have to compare it to 'unseen poetry'

Then later on in the year we have an exam in: The History Boys, Lord Of The Flies & Of Mice And Men.




Also, I just got a C- in my mock essay

Of Mice and Men is EASY SHIT man. COMPARING is EASY SHIT man. They obviously must give you a passage from the book to compare with the poem. You do just that. You read both, and you compare. Because there's going to be many things to compare, and they're going to be in plain sight which is why they chose to put the passage and poem together. If you don't know any 'big' words, start doing practice comparisons with challenging ones you've picked yourself. Get a thesaurus and go through it; learning what you need to learn.

And just to inform you; sets don't matter in english. Being top set doesn't mean your better at english than ones in the second (bottom) set. I'm in the second set, and I get higher marks than mostly everybody in the top set (And mostly everybody in my set, mind you). You learn the exact same thing at basically the same pace. Hell, sometimes slower.
I was in the top set once (Got moved down with about a dozen other people because it was too big a class[That's what they tell us anyway, I think they just thought were were stupid]) and nothing is different.

I can do big words, I just can't analyse text :/ Especially poetry, I am a poet, not a poetry analyser
