Literature in English (TIPS)

The theories that are most likely to come out are

- Feminism
- Marxism
- Social
- Cultural
- Gender
- Post-modernism (quite unlikely actually)

Master all these theories. Learn the principles of each.

Make sure you know how to analyse a text using these
theories.

Questions that will come out have a pattern:

Section A (Short Story)

The first two questions are usually like this :

a. i : From a social/marxism/feminism etc perspective,

analyse ...bla..bla..bla describe in the text above.
a ii. Using any other appropriate literary theory, analyse
the extract given

b. questions usually ask on characters, themes, plot etc.

Section B (Poem)

The first question is almost certain :

a. i : Identify the form of this poem (ballad,sonnet,epic

etc)

Questions in the poem section are usually on..

1. The theme
2. How the theme is developed
3. Literary devices
4. Effectiveness of literary devices
5. Tone of poem
6. Structure, characteristics
7. The meaning of certain lines/ words
8. A question that asks of your opinion

For Section C (Novel) and Section D (Play), just read a lot

of quality pdfs and you should be fine. Most questions will
somehow have a relation to themes,so if you master the
themes, you should be able to manipulate your
knowledge to answer any question (Amin to that! )
