Adventures in English and History

[woolymonkey]

Spider seems to have survived his GCSE Eng Lit paper. He got questions he liked, anyway. The unseen poem was'The List' by U A Fanthorpe. It doesn't seem to be online anywhere (maybe that's why they call it 'unseen'?) and I'm really curious to read it. Can anyone help?

Meanwhile in History lessons, they've started a new topic: conflict in the Middle East. Spider was doing well at explaining how tensions arose after WW2... until someone pointed out a crucial spelling mistake. It seems the Jews wanted more Plastecine. Sometimes the dyslexic world is much nicer than the normal one.

Thank you. I like it. It has a lot more substance than the sort of thing we've come to expect. He seems to have found lots to say about it, which must be good, though all he's reported is that he kept writing about 'monotomy'. Lets hope bad handwriting will cancel out bad spelling...
