Year 11 Senior Literature Class | With Assistant Head of English Faculty Billie Loveday
Our Year 11 Senior Literature students are currently studying Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s collection of short stories in her very popular book: The Thing Around Your Neck.
The first story titled ‘Cell One’, delves into the life of Nnamabia, a young Nigerian man imprisoned for stealing and pawning his mother’s jewellery.
Through his story, the narrative vividly portrays the challenges of navigating a corrupt political system and the erosion of authority in Nigeria.
Studying literature provides a great foundation for life beyond school.
It gives students the essential skills to critique and analyse texts adeptly, fostering confidence in discussing literary works.
Moreover, it cultivates creative and critical thinking skills, preparing students for the complexities of higher education and beyond.
