　　Literature

unites

everything

that

I

find

exhilarating

about

life,

and

most

of

my

spare

time

is

taken

up

with

reading.

To

me,

literature

and

the

written

word

is

mankind’s

greatest

achievement,

which

is

why

I

am

determined

to

dedicate

my

life

to

its

study.

I

am

not

content

with

simply

reading

a

text,

as

I

have

a

hunger

to

learn

everything

I

can

about

what

I

read

–

how

it

was

written;

why

it

was

written;

what

it

means;

its

place

in

literature

as

a

whole.

　　I

read

a

catholic

range

of

literature.

I

particularly

enjoy

Romantic

poetry,

as

I

find

it

to

be

an

intriguing

example

of

how

literature

can

be

used

to

make

a

stand

against

society’s

established

codes,

as

poets

rebelled

against

previous

literary

traditions

and,

contrary

to

the

doctrines

of

neo-classical

literature,

focused

on

emotions

and

on

the

individual.

Another

example

of

such

a

rebellion,

and

another

area

of

fascination

to

me,

is

the

dystopian

novel

of

the

twentieth

century.

My

favourite

examples

include

Orwell’s

‘1984′

and

‘Animal

Farm’,

Golding’s

‘Lord

of

the

Flies’

Bradbury’s

‘Fahrenheit

451′

and

Huxley’s

‘Brave

New

World’.

Many

of

these

great

works

were

inspired

by,

and

reacted

against,

the

rise

of

political

extremists

during

the

first

half

of

the

century.

These

works

are

also

often

highly

satirical,

a

style

which

I

admire

and

which

has

lead

me

to

read

works

such

as

Pope’s

‘The

Rape

of

the

Lock’,

Heller’s

‘Catch-22′

and

Ben

Elton’s

cynically

satirical

plays.

I

also

appreciate

the

novels

of

Jane

Austen,

especially

the

witty

Gothic

satire

‘Northanger

Abbey’.

　　I

see

literature

as

both

a

cause

and

an

effect

of

history,

and

so

I

study

history

in

order

to

fully

appreciate

the

context

of

a

piece

of

writing.

I

find

it

fascinating

how

one’s

knowledge

of

a

historical

period

can

alter

one’s

interpretation

of

a

text.

Also,

I

believe

that

the

study

of

art

can

contribute

to

one’s

understanding

of

literary

background,

for

example

in

the

way

that

Blake’s

paintings

can

give

an

insight

into

his

mind,

and

thus

his

poetry.

I

find

that

my

study

of

maths

is

useful

as

it

contributes

to

my

logical

and

analytical

skills,

which

are

vital

for

the

critical

appraisal

of

literature.

　　At

the

end

of

year

12

I

attended

a

ten-day

residential

course

at

Eton

College

to

study

English

literature.

The

course

was

designed

to

be

of

the

same

intensity,

and

of

a

similar

level,

to

university

studies.

These

were

ten

of

the

best

days

of

my

life,

and

made

me

realise

that

an

English

course

at

university

would

be

perfect

for

me,

and

that

I

would

be

perfect

for

it.

This

course

also

allowed

me

to

refine

my

interests

in

the

subject,

and

to

look

in

detail

at

areas

hitherto

untouched-upon

in

my

state

school

education.

　　I

have

completed

a

work

experience

placement

at

a

local

architects’

office,

which

I

feel

taught

me

many

life-skills.

Seeing

the

enthusiasm

of

the

people

I

worked

with

showed

me

that

it

is

important

to

pursue

a

career

in

a

subject

you

love.

Therefore,

although

I

do

not

have

a

definite

idea

of

where

I

wish

to

work

in

the

future,

I

would

like

to

find

employment

in

an

area

directly

related

to

English,

such

as

in

publishing

or

journalism.

　　I

take

part

in

extra-curricular

activities

that

I

feel

aid

me

in

my

English

studies.

Being

a

member

of

a

debating

society

has

increased

my

discussion

abilities,

and

has

taught

me

how

to

argue

my

point

while

retaining

an

open

mind

and

being

aware

of

the

opinions

and

interpretations

of

others.

I

am

a

volunteer

for

a

group

that

helps

less-able

children

to

read,

as

I

feel

that

the

ability

to

appreciate

the

written

word

is

the

most

fundamental

life-skill

that

a

child

can

have.

I

love

making

music

on

the

guitar

and

the

piano,

and

I

am

an

avid

art-fan.

I

am

part

of

NAGTY,

Young

Enterprise

and

the

Duke

of

Edinburgh

award

scheme.
