2. Disclaimer:
Being the parent of a wonderful YR 12 son as well as an
librarian who loves research and QR codes, this is my
personal attempt to keep him motivated and inspired.
The majority of links will be useful to all students of English,
some are humorous.
So feel free to use but check out the links key on the last
page if you want to know if they are useful for you or your
child/student?
Or perhaps use this list as a basis to make your own.
Enjoy!

10. Still not convinced why you need
to read/analyse/write literature?
The following response answers this questions really well
When a person writes they are expressing their self. Creating stories, sharing factual information,
or compiling someone's life's work. These are all reasons for writing. The have a desire to document
knowledge they have learnt, or to share emotions they have experienced, and even express creative
sides when there is no other way to express it, except for through words.
Writing poems, songs, and even fictions all lead to greater idea's. One person may write a poem,
while another reads the poem and puts music to it, yet another hears the message within the poem
and invents something that was inspired by it.
It is cycle, a way for people to share and to offer the greatest amount of versitility to people in
general for understanding. What one persons may learn from another may not be the same way a
third person learns. Having so many options in literature offers something for everyone to learn,
read, and enjoy.
